Hi Hans,
TeX Live contains ~31 times as many files as the ConTeXt distribution,
so running "mtxrun --generate" is relatively slow. However, TeX Live
already generates a filename index for all its files, so if we use that

Previously, ConTeXt was imported into TeX Live once per year, via a TDS
archive from CTAN. There were a few problems with this:
1. To handle this import, the TeX Live maintainers had to create lots
of custom scripts, and even then, the import still needed lots of
manual effort.

That's odd. You can set it as the default PDF viewer on Windows and

You can use "buffers.getcontent" or "buffers.raw":

One
Two
Three
\stopbuffer[test]
\starttext
\startluacode
require("util-sha")

Hi Hans,
I see that you've released the LuaMetaTeX source code, yay! I'm really
impressed with how easy it is to build, and with how quickly it builds.
Can you please apply this patch to the LuaMetaTeX source code:

I just tried updating again, and it says that I'm up to date, but:

This is LuaMeta
Hi Steffen,

Well I'm not sure if it's "correct", but it seems to work. Based on my
testing, having three subsequent sets of groups ({A}{B}{C}) is converted
to a discretionary. The discretionary hyphen "\-" is equivalent to the

Hi all,
If you load a non-existent module, ConTeXt issues a minor warning, but
otherwise proceeds as normal:
MWE:
\usemodule[doesnt-exist]
\starttext
Hello world!
\stoptext
I think that this behaviour should be changed so that a fatal error is
