I have a Mac, and am not experiencing the problems you describe. The updating process went smoothly, without any hitch, so I suspect it must be some problem with your setup (maybe older formats shadowing the ones ConTeXt created?).

In order to inform other Mac users, and possibly prevent them to update, I am reporting my (bad) experience: DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON… Indeed something has changed in the structure of the new tree, or in the scripts, and obviously maybe both, so if you are not aware, don't update! And now my experience: yesterday I tried to update and then I got the message FatalError : Your format does not match the base files! expalining me why ConTeXt could not typeset my files. After trying (without success…) to install the minimals from the Garden, I had to install anew my whole TeX tree with TeXMac (which installs TeXLive 2007). However the ConTeXt present on MacTeX dates back to 2007.01.12, so in order to have a more recent version, I downloaded manually from http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=14release_id=313 the file cont-tmf-20080521.zip copied it into (using sudo) /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local and then unzipped it there. Finally I did sudo texmfstart texexec --make --all --pdftex after which I have a ConTeXt mkii ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2008.8.7 int: english/english which is not the latest, but it works fine… Best reards: OK ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
