Summary description: Collect macro arguments as boxes
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
--
This package provides macros to collect and process an macro argument (i.e.
something which looks like a macro argument) as horizontal box instead as a real
macro argument. These arguments will be stored like when using \savebox,
\sbox or the lrbox environment and allow verbatim or other special code. Instead
of explicit braces also implicit braces in the form of \bgroup and \egroup
are supported. This allows to split the begin and end over different macros or 
to
place them in the begin and end code of an environment. The provided macros are
mainly intended to be used inside other macros or environments

On Tue, 19 Jul 2011 Mojca Miklavec submitted an update to the

  context

package.

Summary description: The ConTeXt macro package.
License type: other-free

Announcement text: 
--

Patched version of ConTeXt 2011.05.18 as distributed with TeX Live. This should 
hopefully fix issues in MikTeX as well. In particular this fixes:

- most problems with spaces in path (jobname may not contain spaces)
- extended search path for texmfcnf.lua (closer related with search path for 
texmf.cnf)
- support for multiple luatex caches
- auto-generation of cache during the first run
