itemize within tables is no longer working

Question

I'm new to this forum (and relative new to LaTeX).

After upgrading MiKTeX to the latest version yesterday evening I'm unable to compile a document containing an \begin{itemize} ... \end{itemize} construction within an tabulary or tabularx environment.

\documentclass[fontsize=11pt, paper=a4, twoside, headinclude, footinclude, headsepline, footsepline, BCOR=5mm]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[lmargin=2.5cm,rmargin=2.5cm,tmargin=2.5cm,bmargin=3.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{tabulary}
\setlength{\tymin}{50pt}
\setlength{\tymax}{\linewidth}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[hbt!]
\captionabove{Test Table}
\label{tab:Test Table}
\centering
    \begin{tabulary}{\textwidth}{LL}
%    \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{XX}
    \rowcolor{black!90}
    \toprule
    \color{white}\textbf{Column 1} & \color{white}\textbf{Column 2}\\
    \midrule
    Col 1 / Row 1 & Col 2 / Row 1:
            \begin{itemize}
                \item Item 1 with a long text which must be wrapped into the next line
                \item Item 2 with a long text which must be wrapped into the next line
            \end{itemize}\\
    \hline
    Col 1 / Row 2 & Col 2 / Row 2\\
    \hline
    Col 1 / Row 3 & Col 2 / Row 3 and again, a column with a long text which must be wrapped into the next line\\
    \hline
    Col 1 / Row 4 & Col 2 / Row 4\\
    \bottomrule
%    \end{tabularx}
    \end{tabulary}
\end{table}
\end{document}

The errormessages for tabulary are:

Zeile 35: Undefined control sequence \end{tabulary}
...
Zeile 35: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. \end{tabulary}
...
Zeile 35: Undefined control sequence \end{tabulary}

and for tabularx they are:

Zeile 34: Undefined control sequence \end{tabularx}
....
Zeile 34: Undefined control sequence \end{tabularx}

Before upgrading to the latest version everything was ok (tested with tabularx). Does anybody has a hint for me why it's no longer working or is this a bug?

Answer 1

Well for me your example already chokes (unsurprisingly) on the undefined \rowcolor, \color, \toprule. Are you sure you tested really exactly this code?

Anyway: Looking at the code of tabulary I would say that lists can't work in the LCRJ column of tabulary. The content of such cells are processed first in columns of type l and there lists are not allowed. This is not new: tabulary has not been changed recently.

tabularx should work fine (and works fine for me in an up-to-date miktex if I add all the missing packages in your example).
