Hi to all module authors!

The CTAN team (Manfred) and us (Mojca and I) have recently been setting 
up a new system whereby CTAN automatically picks up new, updated versions
of the ConTeXt modules that want to be archived on CTAN.

For this system to properly pickup new versions of modules, it is vital
that the Version of such modules is coded as YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY-MM-DD.

The YYYY.MM.DD format has a slight advantage, because it follows the 
traditional version number setup of <Major>.<Minor>.<Revision>, but the 
version with dashes works as well. 

So, if you are a module author on https://modules.contextgarden.net/
and want to benefit from this automatic update of the your new module
version to CTAN, then please make sure your version string matches the
above specification. Version strings like “r10” and "hg-rev57” cannot
be parsed automatically, so any module updates you make using such 
version strings will more than likely be ignored.

Best wishes,
Taco
