Bug#443332: context: New upstream version 2007.09.10
Dear Thanasis, first of all, thanks for the reminder. I have prepared a new context package since some time, but wanted to wait till luatex is in unstable (as luatex, and not as luatex-snapshot).

I have about 5 documents from various context users I am running through my installation to check the functionality before I upload. deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ context/ (also deb-src), signed with my gpg key from the Debian keyring.

I'm using the latest ConTeXt locally here right now. Current LuaTeX is totally FUBAR and so Mk IV is (for me) unusable. However, the default engine is still Mk II (with pdftex or xetex) so upgrading at this point has no drawback. Ideally, we would have frozen the ConTeXt version in testing to something from back in January before the font mess entered upstream... but since we didn't, it would be nice to get a little bit of the functionality back. I don't see a reason to delay the update out of caution, since the experimental Mk IV stuff is not the default. Now, having _time_ to do it is of course a different story... ;) > P.S. Funny name.

I assume it comes from the slightly archaic Anglo-American terminology for denoting models of military equipment -- 40mm grenade launcher Mk 19, Cruiser Tank Mk III, etc. But why upstream (Dutch, I believe) picked it is anybody's guess... -- Thanasis Kinias Doctoral Candidate, Department of History, and Instructor, Professional Enhancement Programs Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, U.S.A. .

We're kind of low on personel these months... The font stuff sounds indeed like something to be fixed (although nobody seems to have reported it to the Debian BTS, AFAIR). With Mark IV we should be a bit careful: Unless luatex is in testing, context should work without it, and I'm not sure which function Mark IV has at the moment. Regards, Frank P.S. Funny name.
