releases (from trunk) are normally available via the \CONTEXT\ distribution

-Future versions will probably become a bit leaner and meaner. Some libraries

+Version 1.10 is more or less an endpoint in development: this is what you get.
+Because not only \CONTEXT, that we can adapt rather easily, uses \LUATEX, we

+large enough and there is not that much to gain.
You might find \LUA\ helpers that are not yet documented. These are considered
experimental, although when you encounter them in a \CONTEXT\ version that has
