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)
