Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now. The current release has version 2006.07.14 A very short list of changes is given below. As usual, there is an html page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes New features since 2006.05.11: * The use of \sometxt in MetaPost figures (instead of \textext) can (sometimes) remove the need for indirect "texexec" runs, resulting in a massive speed improvement for heavy documents. * Table splitting is reimplemented and improved * Initial support for the new TeXGyre font families * A new release of the bib module, with better support for interaction and per-chapter bibliographies * Some small extensions to \framed * The database module now supports ASCII (non-TeX) files with CSV quoting * \setupformulae accepts a conversion parameter now * More built in math support (matrices etc.) * A prerelease of the "koeieletters" font * A new module for R integration * Itemizations can be randomized (for multiple-choice courseware) * Support for typesetting OpenMath (via MathML)

context – The ConTeXt macro package
A full featured, parameter driven macro package, which fully supports advanced interactive documents. See the ConTeXt Wiki for more information.
This content on CTAN is packaged independently of the ConTeXt project, so if you have a problem with ConTeXt itself, it is best to report it to the official ntg-context@ntg.nl mailing list.
If you notice that ConTeXt is mispackaged in TeX Live or CTAN, then please open a new issue on GitHub, email the public ntg-context@ntg.nl or tex-live@tug.org mailing lists, or email me privately at tex@maxchernoff.ca. Pull requests are also gladly accepted.
