Dear Friends, I am a regular user of ConTeXt. A recent upgrade of ConTeXt in Debian broke things for me. The bug report is here:
https://bugs.debian.org/1055233 but I have reproduced the gist here: Upon upgrading to ConTeXt 2023.05.05.20230730+dfsg-2, several math features seem to break for me. Here is an example: \starttext Hello world! \startformula X(f) = \startcases[align={right,left},distance=3pt] \NC T, \NC{} $|f| < \frac{1}{2T}$ \NR \NC 0, \NC{} $|f| \geq \frac{1}{2T}$ \NR \stopcases \stopformula \stoptext The above works very well in 2021.03.05.20230120+dfsg-1+deb12u1 but gives me this error in 2023.05.05.20230730+dfsg-2: resolvers | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': /usr/bin/luametatex --jobname="./test.tex" --socket --shell-escape --fmt=/home/kumar/.texlive2023/texmf-var/luametatex-cache/context/f919750633122078d706dd10f1cfd39b/formats/luametatex/cont-en.fmt --lua=/home/kumar/.texlive2023/texmf-var/luametatex-cache/context/f919750633122078d706dd10f1cfd39b/formats/luametatex/cont-en.lui --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="./test.tex" --c:input="./test.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:texmfbinpath="/usr/bin" job > passes > version mismatch: 1.32 <> 1.33 system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2023.05.05 18:36 LMTX fmt: 2023.11.2 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkxl' loaded open source > level 1, order 1, name '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl' system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv close source > level 1, order 1, name '/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl' system > files > jobname './test', input './test.tex', result './test' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > level 1, order 2, name './test.tex' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) mathematics > tweak > 'LatinModernMath-Regular', size 6, math size 3, version 'Version 1.959' found, version 'Version 1.958' expected fonts > 'fallback modern rm 12pt' is loaded tex error > tex error on line 5 in file ./test.tex: Missing $ inserted <inserted text> $ <to be read again> \mathatom <macro> \math_atom_by_parameter_indeed #1->\mathatom \s!class \mathcodechecked {#1} <macro> \math_frac #1#*[#2]->\beginmathgroup \setlocalmathfractioncurrent {#1}\ifparameter #2\or \setupcurrentmathfraction [#2]\fi \edef \p_math_fraction_fences {\mathfractionparameter \c!fences }\math_atom_by_parameter \mathfractionparameter \bgroup \ifempty \p_math_f <to be read again> { <line 3.5> \NC T, \NC{} $|f| < \frac{ 1}{2T}$ \NR 1 \starttext 2 Hello world! 3 \startformula 4 X(f) = \startcases[align={right,left},distance=3pt] 5 >> \NC T, \NC{} $|f| < \frac{1}{2T}$ \NR 6 \NC 0, \NC{} $|f| \geq \frac{1}{2T}$ \NR 7 \stopcases 8 \stopformula 9 \stoptext 10 I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed. mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1 Just another note: some examples seem broken here as well: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Multiline_equations Please let me know how I can help debug this. Thanks.
