Hi,
Already for quite some years the 'current' context release is the one
that ends up on texlive. The rest of the year we talk about betas and
very rarely an alpha release. This distinction no longer makes sense.
From now on there will be no alpha, beta or current (with latest begin
the most recent of the three, when present): we only will have latest.
Most users follow the latest anyway and keeping a copy of some tree is
cheap.
There will of course be the yearly tex live snapshots and these will
have the year attached to them.
So, effectively nothing changes, apart from the fact that we no longer
use the labels (and distinction on the website).
A more fundamental distinction is between the versions:
pdftex|xetex : mkii (probaly not used that much any longer)
luatex|luajittex : mkiv (also the test for luatex dev)
luametatex : lmtx (the (upcoming) real deal)
Mojca and I are diuscussing / working on an upgrade of the context
garden installations and repositories but more about that later,
Hans
