ConTeXt group<p>We pushed the first post-<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TeXlive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXlive</span></a> 2025 update. Apart from a few pending patches, we spend some time on what we call retrotex and retropost.</p><p>🧵 </p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXLaTeX</span></a> because general <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LuaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LuaTeX</span></a> is affected.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ConTeXt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConTeXt</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TeXConTeXt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXConTeXt</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LuaMetaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LuaMetaTeX</span></a></p>

As a consequence, when you use that mechanism – we're not sure how many actually do – and want the old code to kick in you need to load the "oldcolumnsets" module.</p><p>🧵 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TeXConTeXt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXConTeXt</span></a></p>
ConTeXt group<p>From the recent online meet-up:</p><p>– Hans &amp; Mikael are working on column sets (mostly for magazine layout), the results are already impressive. Parallel text streams are possible (e.g. for translations). Wait for "beyond-pages.pdf".</p><p>– Keith implemented a MP function for Perlin noise (colored “clouds”).</p><p>– To avoid hyphenation in single places, don’t use \hbox{} but {\nohyphens }, it doesn’t create a box. There’s also \noligatures and \nokerns.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TeXConTeXt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXConTeXt</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ConTeXt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConTeXt</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LMTX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LMTX</span></a></p>

ConTeXt group<p>We’d like to remind you that registration for the 18th <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ConTeXt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConTeXt</span></a> Meeting </p><p><a href="https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">meeting.contextgarden.net/2024</span><span class="invisible">/</span></a></p><p>will only remain open for a few more days. There are a few open onsite spots remaining, so there is still an opportunity to meet us all in person this year. You can also register to attend the online meeting, where there is no limit on the number of attendees. Meeting in person is a lot more fun, though!</p><p>This year we are hosted in Lutten, The Netherlands, in a converted water tower.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/TeXConTeXt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXConTeXt</span></a></p>
