Hi,
I noticed some problems with transparency colors lately. But every time
I tried to make a minimal example out of it, the code worked. Now, by
chance, I found a not working example.
\setuppagenumber[state=stop]
\definecolor[tcolor][r=1,a=1,t=.6]
\definetextbackground[ghost]
[background=color,backgroundcolor=tcolor]
\starttext
\starttextbackground[ghost]
FOO
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext
Here the error message...

This is a side effect of no longer using the ugly color hackery on the
one hand (using scripts instead) and mp having 3 color related data
types that don't carry scripts themselves.
This means that we cannot assign colors (with transparencies) reliable.
I made a patch (at the mp macro level) for the backgrounds but more
placed might need patching. So, from now on we will also have different
files for mp: mpii and mpiv.
I uploaded a beta, so best do some testing right away as i might have
messed up,
Hans
