I do recall reading on the ConTeXt wiki that \definenumber is
maintained for backwards compatibility reasons. However, why then does
ConTeXt fail to compile with \getcounter, if that's how it's supposed
to work? I was confused, don't get me wrong, but what I wrote was my
own conclusion on the matter.
Clearly, we have a bug that needs to be reported. I wish my email
hadn't included such misinformation. But now, this is a bug that needs
to be resolved.
I'm running ConTeXt version 2024.01.24, and the given attachment fails
to compile, even with MkIV.
I don't want to pester those subscribed to this mailing list with bug
reports, so I thought it would be more sensible to post such reports
on the context developers mailing list. I ask for confirmation that I
can post there instead of here.
There is no command named \getcounter, only \convertedcounter exists.
The two older commands \getnumber and \convertednumber are aliases for
the new \convertedcounter command.
You can report bugs on this list (no need to use the more or less dead
dev list) but in this case there is no bug, just different names.
