    There’s a new update for ConTeXt LMTX.
    It contains a few fixes and performance optimizations, also preparations for things to be revealed at the ConTeXt meeting next week.

    “If you can’t implement something in Lua, then you're not trying hard
    enough ;).”

    “… the ConTeXt Lua interfaces are really nice, and OpTeX’s are pretty
    good too, but the other formats provide almost no interfaces which makes
    using Lua quite annoying.”

    (Max Chernoff)

    You don’t need to be a Hans Hagen fan to use ConTeXt, but it helps. 😉

    So we need to mention: Hans declared defeat in a discussion about LMTX:
    No, you can’t run plain TeX with it out of the box, since it lacks kpsewhich and mktexlsr. (ConTeXt has better mechanisms for finding files.)

    With ConTeXt in TeX live, you can run

    mtxrun --script plain --make

    to generate the plain format for LuaMetaTeX.

    There were two ConTeXt LMTX updates in the last few days. As far as we know they contain only bugfixes as results from discussions on the mailinglist.

    Another update for ConTeXt:
    – bugfixes
    – \externalfigure[foo.png][gray=yes]
    – context --extra=compare --colors=red,blue one.pdf two.pdf
    – new "squeeze" keyword for left and right justification
    – align=fixed:small / broad:small (small penalty for interpunction)
    – \pbsp as “possibly keep together space”
