Welcome! Please read this information.

This is Gerben Wierda's ConTeXt updater i-Package for TeX for Mac OS X. ConTeXt is a macro package for TeX like LaTeX, very actively maintained, well designed. See http://www.pragma-ade.com/

For information on i-Installer.app packages, see the i-Installer.app Help function. Especially read about the risks of installing software from the net and how you can inspect the contents of your package.

ConTeXt needs a TeX installation.

The configure process will give you a choice which ConTeXt is to be installed if there are both a standard and a BETA distribution. The default location is the local texmf tree, so you can remove it and go back to your original situation. Also, a reinstall of TeX will not overwrite your separately installed ConTeXt.

The file ConTeXt.ii2.updatelog contains the log of my updates from http://www.pragm-ade.com.

NOTE: This package will be updated frequently without any change to this README file. Inspect ConTeXt.ii2.updatelog for a log of intermediate updates to this package.

The ConTeXt.ii2.updatelog file will say "ConTeXt only"  if the BETA is identical to the stable release.
