Thanks for your reply Hans.
I half suspected that the ARM version was experimental but thought I
should report it anyway.
Much as I would love to donate an ARM mini to the farm the best I can do
is offer to compile on my mac mini Silicon M1, however, I would have to
add the caveat that this is something I have never done so would need a
lot of hand holding.
Best Wishes

I have been using ConTeXt (X86 64bits) on my mac mini Apple Silicon
M1 and it works well using Rosetta translation for the M1. I recently
installed the ARM 64bits version (separately from the X86 64bits
version) which I assume does not require translation using Rosetta.
However I had a error with the lmt_shade command in the ARM 64bits
ConTeXt verson but not in with the X86 64bits version of ConTeXt. The
MWE is shown below. This is actually taken from the LuaMetaFun
manual. I also noticed that some figures are missing in the manual
(Chapter 7, Shade) which is part of the ARM 64bit tree but not in the
manual in the X86 64bits tree.
That arm version was an experiment so it's definitely not in sync with
the latest luametatex/lmtx combination. It was crosscompiled on an
intel mac which took ages so it stuck as experiment. Because th eintel
bin runs on the arm mac it has a low priority (unless someone donates
an arm mini to the farm). So, forget about the arm apple bins for now.
We do generate windows arm but that's because it's easy to do, boit
that we have a machine to test if it actually works.
Btw, in the latest upload the metafun manual should compile ok (Otared
tested till we had all working in lmtx which does some things
differnetly deep down; there were also some resources missing).
