(Older JRE versions are supported by texosquery, but cannot be enabled in restricted mode, as they are no longer supported by Oracle, even for security issues.) Other utilities: texosquery-jre8 is a new cross-platform program for retrieving locale and other OS information from a TEX document it is included in shell_escape_commands by default for restricted shell execution.Front ends and build systems that want to remove temp files may need adjusting. SyncTEX: the temporary file name now looks like foo.synctex(busy), instead of (busy) (no.New option -init-from-profile to start an installation with the values from a given profile new command P to explicitly save a profile new profile variable names (but previous ones are still accepted). install-tl: Personal paths are now set to MacTEX values ( ~/Library/.) by default on Macs.See and an upcoming TUGboat article for details. The hope is that this will reduce the perennial problem of invoking user mode by accident and thus losing future system updates. updmap and fmtutil: These scripts now give a warning when invoked without explicitly specifying either so-called system mode (updmap-sys, fmtutil-sys, or option -sys), or user mode (updmap-user, fmtutil-user, or option -user).Also, tlmgr has a new mode shell for interactive and scripted use, and a new action conf auxtrees to easily add and remove extra trees. Infrastructure: The TEXMFLOCAL tree is now searched before TEXMFSYSCONFIG and TEXMFSYSVAR (by default) the hope is that this will better match expectations of local files overriding system files.

Binaries for older Mac OS X versions are not included in MacTEX, but are still available in TEX Live (x86_64-darwinlegacy, i386-darwin, powerpc-darwin).

LuaTEX: More callbacks, more typesetting control, more access to internals ffi library for dynamic code loading added on some platforms.The following list of changes is directly from the TeX Live documentation. Now get ready for partying, and also for the end of the peace, because daily package updates will restart in the next days. These were only a few changes where I had my fingers in the development. The upcoming proceedings of the BachoTeX will also comtain an article fully documenting both updmap and fmtutil including the most recent changes. We hope by this and the accompanying web page of recommendations to help users not to shoot themselves to often by calling updmap without knowing the consequences. That is, one either needs to call updmap -sys (or updmap-sys, nothing changed here from previous years) or updmap -user (or updmap-user, new in TeX Live 2017). I have reported on this during BachoTeX/TUG 2017, here are the slides, that the two central configuration programs updmap and fmtutil will change their operation mode slightly by disallowing invocations without mde specification. User versus System mode for updmap and fmtutil

Tlmgr: saving backups to /home/norbert/tl/2017/tlpkg/backups Main = /home/norbert/public_html/tlnet (verified)

Available commands are all the usual command line actions, plus a few more (see documentation). Tlmgr also got an interactive shell now, that can also be used for scripting. $ tlmgr conf auxtrees remove /projects/book-abc $ tlmgr conf auxtrees add /projects/book-abc Here a few invocations (not very intelligent usage, though):

As it turned out, it is a rather trivial thing to achieve by some texmf.cnf lines. MikTeX had this features since long, and it was often requested. Tlmgr got a new functionality to easily add and remove additional TEXMF trees to the search path. Get out bottles of good wine, and enjoy a good long download 😉īesides the huge amount of package updates due to the 2 month testing hiatus, I want to pick a few changes before copying the complete changelog entry: Additional TEXMF trees TeX Live 2017 has been released! CTAN mirrors are busy updating.
