Re: [NTG-context] release
Hi Hans, For your information, yesterday I updated my ConTeXt installation with the command: sudo ctxtools --updatecontext and the result is that I cannot anymore typeset any file with mkii, nor mkiv… Out of despair, I removed my whole MacTeX install (running texlive 2007 on Mac OS X 10.5.4), and tried to update again. My version is now context version: 2008.08.05 18:47 and I get the following error message: ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 MKII fmt: 2008.8.6 int: english/english language : language en is active system : cont-new loaded (/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/ context/base/cont-new.tex FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!
