Hi,
I uploaded a beta. Not that many fixes (if someone can collect
structure related bugs ...), only a few.
For those who keep an eye on the source ... i'm rewriting ppchtex
and it will be integral part of the core of mkiv (so that we have
chemistry on board). It's not yet finished but i'm getting there.

OK, here is a collection of some assorted bugs. Most of them have been
posted several times. Of course, everybody will have their own feeling
of what is more and what is less urgent, but I will just add a few
words about my own situation:
1. bib-module
\usemodule[bib]
\setuppublications
[refcommand=num,
numbering=yes]
\startpublication[k=bertellihecataeus,t=incollection,
a={{Bertelli}},y=2001,
n=1,s=Ber01]
\artauthor[]{Lucio}[L.]{}{Bertelli}
\pubyear{2001}
\arttitle{Hecataeus: From Genealogy to Historiography}
\editor[]{Nino}[N.]{}{Luraghi}
\crossref{luraghicraft}
\pages{67--94}
\pages{67--94}
\pubname{Oxford University Press}
\stoppublication
\startpublication[k=luraghihistorian,t=book,
a={{Luraghi}},y=2001,
n=2,s=Lur01a]
\editor[]{Nino}[N.]{}{Luraghi}
\pubyear{2001\maybeyear{a}}
\title{The Historian's Craft in the Age of Herodotus}
\city{Oxford}
\pubname{Oxford UP}
\stoppublication
\starttext
Citation: \cite[bertellihecataeus]
List:
\placepublications[criterium=all]
\stoptext
Taco's bib module does not work with the current beta. For me, this is
a showstopper, I will have to give up on mkiv as long as this does not
work.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
2. Section numbers in markings are duplicated
\setuphead
[section]
[page=yes,
style=normal]
\setupuserpagenumber[state=start,way=bysection]
\setupfootertexts[{\getmarking[sectionnumber]} – \userpagenumber]
\starttext
\section{One}
\input tufte
\page
\input linden
\section{Two}
\input bryson
\page
\input davis
\stoptext
Urgency=high, I use these markings in lots of documents.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
3. trep and tlig features don't work in node mode
\definefontfeature
[mytest]
[mode=node,script=latn,trep=yes,tlig=yes,kern=yes]
\starttypescript[serif][Test]
\definefontsynonym[Serif][name:texgyretermesregular][features=mytest]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript[Test]
\definetypeface[Test][rm][serif][Test][default][features=mytest]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[Test]
\setupbodyfont[Test,12pt]
\starttext
fine's flops: 1 -- 2 --- 3
\stoptext
priority: medium for me (since it can be worked around, but still
needs fixing)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
4. Spaces, esp. after periods
\font\one=cmr10
\font\two=file:texgyrepagella-regular
\bgroup
A A A
\primitive\sfcode`A=2000
A A A
\egroup
\bgroup\one
A A A
\primitive\sfcode`A=2000
A A A
\egroup
\bgroup\two
A A A
\primitive\sfcode`A=2000
A A A
\egroup
\bye
This test file has been given by Wolfgang Schuster a few days ago. It
shows a problem that is especially annoying after periods because it
disrupts frenchspacing/nonfrenchspacing. For me, very high priority
because the quality of the output is severely reduced (with this bug,
it would be impossible to typeset a book for publication with ConTeXt
mkiv right now).
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
5. Labels
\definelabel[SlideNumber][headstyle=normal,way=bytext]
\starttext
\incrementSlideNumber \nextSlideNumber
\stoptext
Fails in current beta. For me, urgency=medium.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
6. Cross-references
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item[one] One
\item[two] Two
\item[three] Three
\stopitemize
As we can see in item \in[one] and \in[three].
\stoptext
Urgency=medium
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
7. Line breaks between quotation marks:
\setuplayout[width=3cm]
\starttext
\quotation{This is a \quote{test.}}
\stoptext
Urgency: low, but non-nil.
OK, this should be enough for the time being. For almost two weeks, I
haven't been able to connect to the supelec website to bring my luatex
to the latest version; is this a problem on my end, or is access to
the svn repositories currently disabled?
Would be nice to hear about these bugs; some of the have been posted
several times, but we never heard back about them.
All best
Thomas
