TeX Live

 

O TeX Live é um distribuição TeX substituta de seu homólogo não mais utilizado teTeX. Ele é agora a distribuição TeX padrão para a maior parte das distribuições Linux, como Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu e Gentoo. Outros sistemas operacionais Unix como OpenBSD e NetBSD também convertem teTeX para TeX Live. Wikipédia

 

TeX Live 2021

O anúncio foi feito pelo seu mantenedor no Debian Norbert Preinin.

 

"O lançamento do TeX Live 2021 já está a meio ano de distância, mas devido ao atraso de esperar pelo lançamento do Debian / Bullseye, não atualizamos o TeX Live no Debian há algum tempo. Mas a espera acabou, hoje eu carreguei os primeiros pacotes do TeX Live 2021 para a o Debian Unstable."

 

A lista completa com todas as alterações podem ser vistas no quadro abaixo.

General: Donald Knuth’s changes for his 2021 tuneup of TeX and Metafont are incorporated (https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-1/tb130knuth-tuneup21.pdf). They are also available on CTAN as the knuth-dist and knuth-local packages. As expected, the fixes are for obscure cases and do not affect any behavior in practice. Except in original TeX: if \tracinglostchars is set to 3 or more, missing characters will result in an error, not just a message in the log file, and the missing character code will be shown in hex. Except in original TeX: a new integer parameter \tracingstacklevels , if positive, and \tracingmacros is also positive, causes a prefix indicating the macro expansion depth to be output on each relevant log line (e.g., ~.. at depth 2). Also, macro logging is truncated at a depth ≥ the parameter value. Aleph: The Aleph-based LaTeX format, named lamed, has been removed. The aleph binary itself is still included and supported. LuaTeX: Lua 5.3.6. Callback for nesting level used in \tracingmacros, as generalized variant of the new \tracingstacklevels. Mark math glyphs as protected to prevent processing as text. Removed width/ic compensation for traditional math code path. MetaPost: SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable support for reproducible output. Avoid wrong final % in mpto. Document -T option, other fixes to manual. Value of epsilon changed in binary and decimal modes, so mp_solve_rising_cubic works as expected. pdfTeX: New primitives \pdfrunninglinkoff and \pdfrunninglinkon; e.g., for disabling generation of links in headers and footers. Warn instead of aborting when “\pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pdfstartlink”. Dump \pdfglyphtounicode assignments in fmt file. Source: poppler support removed, as it was too hard to keep in sync with upstream. In native TL, pdfTeX has always used libs/xpdf, which is cut-down and adapted code from xpdf. XeTeX: Fixes for math kerning. Dvipdfmx: Ghostscript is now invoked safely by default; to override (assuming all input files are trusted), use -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg. To use PSTricks with XeTeX, this is required, as in: xetex -output-driver=”xdvipdfmx -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg -q -E” … If an image file is not found, exit with bad status. Extended special syntax for color support. Specials for manipulating ExtGState. Compatibility specials pdfcolorstack and pdffontattr. Experimental support for dviluatex’s extended fnt_def. Support new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition. Dvips: Default PostScript document title is now the basename of the input file, and can be overridden with the new option -title. If an .eps or other image file is not found, exit with bad status. Support new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition. MacTeX: MacTeX and its new binary folder universal-darwin now require macOS 10.14 or higher (Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur); the x86_64-darwin binary folder is no longer present. The x86_64-darwinlegacy binary folder, available only with the Unix install-tl, supports 10.6 and newer. This is an important year for the Macintosh because Apple introduced ARM machines in November and will sell and support both ARM and Intel machines for many years. All programs in universal-darwin have executable code for both ARM and Intel. Both binaries are compiled from the same source code. The additional programs Ghostscript, LaTeXiT, TeX Live Utility, and TeXShop are all universal and are signed with a hardened runtime, so all are included in MacTeX this year. tlmgr and infrastructure: keep only one backup of the main repository’s texlive.tlpdb. even more portability across systems and Perl versions. tlmgr info reports new lcat-* and rcat-* fields for local vs. remote Catalogue data. full logging of subcommands moved to new log file texmf-var/web2c/tlmgr-commands.log.
