Package: context
Version: 2009.11.26-2
Severity: normal
Hi!
I use ConTeXt to make my presentations. With the latest upgrade, I am
unable to use linear shades, a concept I borrowed from the ConTeXt
Garden Wiki.
Rather than describe the situation, I attach the sample file I use
(test.tex). test.log is the output when I run it with the latest
ConTeXt, while test_old_context.log is the output when run with
Debian ConTeXt 2008.05.21-1 on a Lenny machine.
The expected output is:
http://people.debian.org/~akumar/dump/test_expected.pdf (made with
Debian ConTeXt 2008.05.21-1)
The output I get with the latest ConTeXt is:
http://people.debian.org/~akumar/dump/test_actual.pdf
I think you can spot the problem here; if I comment out the
\setupbackgrounds line, the outputs look identical.
Please let me know if the error is on my side, and if I need to make
some changes at my end. I believe I've done the read the changelog
drill, but I am unable to figure out where the error could me.
Thanks for any advice. I'll be glad to give you further inputs if you
want.
Thanks.
Kumar
