Hi Adam,

Is this a Halo release for TeXLive? 

I don't know what that means, but no, this context release won't be on
TL'05.  That's frozen, and Manfred is making the golden masters for
final testing and production now.  From what Hans and Taco have told me,
the post-TL context releases aren't critical, i.e., TL should be ok.  If
that's not the case, I don't want to know :).  (Ok, not really, please
inform ASAP if that's so :)

Cheers,
k

TL contains the 2005.10.27 release (or so), and that release is OK.

Cheers, Taco

I should have been more precise. I've heard of halo releases being the
last set of bug fixes for a given software series (such as MacOSX 10.3.9
or whatever was the final kernel in the Linux 2.2.n series).

Oh. I haven't been following closely, but I did notice that Taco
referred to the previous (2005.11.09) version as being a bit of a
problem child.

I just wanted to flag the issue as soon as possible, in case Hans/Taco
saw it as critical.

there could be a problem for users who install tex live alongside older 
local trees with for instance latin modern instances and map settings; 
there are a few fixes in macros as well as the mp related issues; also a 
missing map file was added (to be sure)


there are no conceptual changes so just unzipping the latest zip in the 
tree should pose no problems


(i'm in fiona-apple-and-kate-bush-latest-cds-listening-loop-mode which 
is great for fixing/adding things reported the last months -)

the only problems with the software (kernels) i ran into was that 
previous te xlive binaries no longer run on this years kernels but that 
should not affect context and tex live

there has indeed been some fixes (some posted off list) that had to deal 
with latin modern, mptopdf (used outside context) as well as supp-pdf 
and such
