The ConTeXt reference manual linked from

referenced in the garden is from 2013-Sep-27. As of now, I did not find
a version of the document in the distribution. Neither in ConTeXt LMTX,
nor in ConTeXt Standalone.


The garden copies are kind of independent. Not updated often.

The website is largely the same as what is in the distribution but not 
entirely. (Btw, most of the website is generated automatically along 
with generating the current distribution zip.)


The website is a bit more archival in that sense. The old ref manual 
(most of which still applies) has some chapters turned into what are now 
separate manuals.



In the following days I will start to use the most recent version of the
two documents known to me.

In the LMTX distribution: musings.pdf is from 2020-Jan-17, whereas
musings.tex and musings-names.tex are from 2020-Feb-18.


Yes, I don't generate the main docs every time I fix a typo or add a 
line (esp when it's not that fundamental).

luametatex.pdf in LMTX is from Feb-18. In Standalone it is from Jan-30.
Sure, sometimes we update LMTX independent from the mkiv distribution. 
I generate the luametatex manual (1) as a quick test and (2) to check if 
I messed up performance.


Anyway, as the sources are distributed too one can always generate the 
latest greatest.
