 Thank you Wolfgang for this explanation.
 
 Do you mean: global (i.e. \define…[..,..=..,..] and local
 (i.e. \setup…[…][..,..=..,..]) settings?

No, I meant with \setupheads[style=bold] you can change the font of each
heading and with \setuphead[section][style=italic] you change only the font
for section. As you can see we have a plural and a singular form of the command.

With the new system to generate the setup commands we have only
\setuphead which handles bot cases.

 For backward
 compatibility you can find things like this: \let\setupnotes\setupnote
 
 OK, but is this a good idea?
 I thought that mkii is kept around for backward compatibility
 and that mkiv takes the liberty to rationalize the syntax,
 sometimes sacrificing backwards compatibility in order not to be
 encumbered with inconsistent syntax, whenever possible.
 
 Indeed, this sometimes generates much discussion on the mailing list
 when we discover that our favorite command has been removed
 or renamed - a good way of testing to see if we are active and alert. :)

It’s better to promote the new commands but we should take time
until the old variants vanish because we have to get used to them.

 Hi,
 
 I have installed the last standalone version from contextgarden and oops, my 
 (few days) old file does not work properly. My old setup of footnotes was 
 like:
 
 \setupfootnotedefinition[loaction=page...]
 \setupfootnotes[bodyfontsize=8pt, style=\ss...]
 
 Now the context does not understand to that. So I am trying to set up 
 footnotes with \setupnote[footnote] but it seems nothing works. I am not able 
 to use location=serried, location=page, style and so on... Is it connected 
 with some general update? :o(

The command \setupnotedefinition (where \setupfootnotedefinition is a shortcut 
for \setupnotedefinition[footnote]) is now \setupnotation and 
“location=serried” is now “alternative=serried”. The \setupnote command 
(\setupfootnotes is \setupnote[footnote]) has only a “bodyfont” key which 
accepts “{8pt,sans}” as argument but not “bodyfontsize” key and style is only 
available for \setupnotation (but as you saw you can add it to bodyfont).

Looking at strc-not.mkvi and from your explanations above
it is still not clear to me how to use the new footnote definitions.
We have \setupnotedefinition
(with \setupfootnotedefinition=\setupnotedefinition[footnote]),
\setupnote (with \setupfootnotes=\setupnote[footnote]),
also \setupnotes (=\setupnote ?)
Is there any difference between the singular and the plural forms?
Also, what parameters are accepted? (I see % not all make sense here
in strc-not.mkvi)

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes seems confused (ToDo).

In particular, I am still trying to get
next=\autoinsertnextspace
to make \startfootnote\stopfootnote work correctly...

Footnotes are not yet fixed (due to Hans' flue ...)
So it is probably in vain trying to make sense of the current state of the 
footnote mechanism.

Many thanks for the reply, Wolfgang.

I know you weren't replying a question of mine, but reading the code
itself I solved some issues I had with linenotes and I found a bug
(which I report on a different thread).

Reading the code seemed counterproductive to me, but it seems to be one
of the best methods to learn from ConTeXt.

Thanks again,


Pablo

1. The \setupnotedefinition was replaced with \setupnotation

2. Many of the \define… and \setup… commands are now auto generated
   from \installcommandhandler which generates only one setup-command
   which can be used for global (i.e. \setup…[..,..=..,..]) and local
   (i.e. \setup…[…][..,..=..,..]) settings. For backward compatibility you
   can find things like this: \let\setupnotes\setupnote

3. The argument are same as before (with a few changes)

 http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Footnotes seems confused (ToDo).
 
 In particular, I am still trying to get

Large parts of the code have been rewritten and the next key wasn’t added yet.
