Hello all,

I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen
can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its
mirrors.

  http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
  http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
  http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip

The current release has version 2005.11.30. As usual, there is a
page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki,
see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.30

New features since 2005.11.24:

* A support module for loading DraTex

* Itemgroups now accept a command parameter. This allows \item c.s.
  to work on bits of the following paragraph, like so:

   \def\MyItemCommand#1{{\bf#1}\quad}
   \setupitemgroup[itemize][command=\MyItemCommand]
   \startitemize
   \item {test} is this okay?
   \item {test} is this okay?
   \item {test} is this okay?
   \stopitemize

* Extension for the use of marks in column sets using a new,
  three-argument, call to \getmarking :

   \getmarking[subsection][first][1] % column 1
   \getmarking[subsection][first][3] % column 3

* A set of font synonyms to enable easy ligature prevention
  (esp. useful in XML)

    \usetypescript[serif][handling][noligs]
    \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif]
      [latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi]
    \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif]
      [latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi]

    \setupbodyfont[mine,10pt]
    \starttext
    asjemenou-het--lijkt---te----werken
    \stoptext

* \setupinterlinespace[auto] makes interline (double) spacing
  work even across bodyfont switches

* new system modes for the current language:

  {\language[nl]
   \startmode[*en] english \stopmode
   \startmode[*nl] dutch   \stopmode
   \language[en]
   \startmode[*en] english \stopmode
   \startmode[*nl] dutch   \stopmode}

Bug fixes:

* ConTeXt now allows more MP specials, on user request (through
  \manyMPspecials). This is sometimes needed when MetaPost is called
  in-between runs instead of using the shell_escape mechanisms

* use TEXMFTE and TEXMFGW in type-tmf.dat. This allows texfont to
  function correctly under gwtex.

* Use the new map file names for the font families/typescripts antt,
  iwona, and kurier.

* Footnote markers no longer appear in headings


Happy TeXing,

Taco Hoekwater
