Dear Hans,
since you have promissed another hotfix release for TL 2010, here's a
list of issues that I had with my thesis and MKIV (some have already
been fixed in the due time, but many remained). I probably wouldn't
have had those "problems" if I was designing my document in MKIV from
scratch, but just recompiling in MKIV didn't work out for several
reasons listed below.
1.) Minimal example:
\usetypescript[iwona]
\setupbodyfont[iwona]
\starttext
$a+b$
\stoptext
Output:
!define font : font with name Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular is not found
!define font : unknown font Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular, loading aborted
!define font : unable to define Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular as
\*iwona6ptmmmr33*
!define font : font with name Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular is not found
!define font : unknown font Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular, loading aborted
!define font : unable to define Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular as
\*iwona8ptmmmr22*
!define font : font with name Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular is not found
!define font : unknown font Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular, loading aborted
!define font : unable to define Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular as
\*iwona11ptmmmr11*
!define font : font with name Iwona-Math-Letters-Regular is not found
etc. I need to figure out why, though it works (I don't see
deficiencies in output yet).
2.) Recently discussed on the mailing list - stopper has no influence in MKIV:
\setupcaptions[stopper={:}]
\starttext
\placefigure{title}{\framed{bla}}
\stoptext
3.) Bibliography citations give different result with the same setup
(different numbers and different spacing in \placepublication - might
be also worth testing with grid typesetting as I wasn't able to set up
the alignment properly in MKII last time when I have tried). I'm not
sure which one is right, but there's probably no reason to produce
different results.
\usemodule
[bib]
\setuppublications
[alternative=num,
criterium=all,
sorttype=cite]
\starttext
\startpublication[k=a,t=article]\arttitle{a}\stoppublication
\startpublication[k=b,t=article]\arttitle{b}\stoppublication
\startpublication[k=c,t=article]\arttitle{c}\stoppublication
x\cite[a,b,c]
\placepublications
\stoptext
4.) The following problem must have appeared recently (it was working
ok in September): in MKII the encoding is completely screwed up:
\usemodule[gnuplot]
\enableregime[utf-8]
\starttext
\startGNUPLOTscript[integrated risetime]
plot sin(x) t 'šin(čix)'
\stopGNUPLOTscript
\useGNUPLOTgraphic[integrated risetime][1]
\stoptext
A slightly more basic example:
\enableregime[utf-8]
\starttext
\startbuffer[gnu]
\startMPcode
draw \sometxt{čšž};
\stopMPcode
\stopbuffer
čšž
\getbuffer[gnu]
\stoptext
5.) Weird formula number placement when long equations are used in MKIV
\def\oklepaj#1{\left(#1\right)}
\starttext
\placeformula
\startformula
{\dot N}(t)=
A\oklepaj{\exp\oklepaj{-\frac{t-t_0}{τ_{\text{eksp.}}}}-\exp\oklepaj{-\frac{t-t_0}{τ_{\text{fast}}}}}+
B\oklepaj{\exp\oklepaj{-\frac{t-t_0}{τ_{\text{eksp.}}}}-\exp\oklepaj{-\frac{t-t_0}{τ_{\text{slow}}}}}
\stopformula
\stoptext
6.) I know that \NR is not the most appropriate way to go into next
row, but the following gives considerably different results in MKII
and MKIV:
\starttable[|l|]
\NC \type{a} \NC\NR
\NC \type{a} \NC\NR
\NC \type{a} \NC\NR
\stoptable
7.) I know that there's a longstanding left vs. right bug, but
flushleft is no solution in the following case (compare MKII and MKIV
again):
\definedescription
[latexdesc]
[headstyle={\ss\bf},style=normal,align=left,location=hanging,width=fit,margin=0cm]
\latexdesc{step E (expectation):} \input tufte
\latexdesc{step M (maximization):} \input tufte
8.)
\definetypeface [boldmath] [mm] [boldmath] [latin-modern] [default]
\starttext
$\boldsymbol{\theta}$
\stoptext
9.) Note the big difference of when the formula starts vertically on page:
\starttext
\startformula
a+b
\stopformula
\stoptext
10.) Different square root shape/variant used:
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2πσ_i^2}}$
Original formula:
\startformula
\startcases
\NC ρ_0, \NC for $i=0$, \NR
\NC
ρ_i\,\frac{1}{\sqrt{2πσ_i^2}}\exp\biggl(-\frac{\left(x_j-μ_i\right)^2}{2σ_i^2}\biggr),
\NC for $i\in\left\{1,2\right\}$. \NR
\stopcases
\stopformula
but I cannot reproduce the big difference it makes in original
document on a smaller scale.
11.) Missing bibliography entries:
\usemodule[bib]
% this line spoils the show
\setuppublications[alternative=num]
\setuppublicationlayout[webpage]{%
\inserttitle{\bgroup\it }{\egroup. }{}%
\inserturl{}{}{}%
}
\startpublication
[k=FAIR,t=webpage,u=http://www.gsi.de/fair/]
\biburl{http://www.gsi.de/fair/}
\title{FAIR -- Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research}
\stoppublication
\starttext
\cite[FAIR]\par
\placepublications
\stoptext
12.) \nocite[nonexistent] generates an empty [n] in bibliography in
MKII, while it has zero effect in MKIV (it should at least generate an
error).
13.) Different spacing
\setupwhitespace[big]
\def\dictentry#1#2{\hbox{\bf#1}\hbox{\hbox to 1em{}\hbox{#2}}\blank[4mm]}
\starttext
\dictentry{clipping}{preboj}
\dictentry{clustering}{gručenje}
\stoptext
14.) Two very weird issues with section alignments, but I'll continue
later - I need some fresh air now.

What's the following BEWARE useful for?
