Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream release, TeX
Live 2020.
TeX Live provides a comprehensive, cross-platform TeX system. It includes all
the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts that are free
software, including support for many languages around the world. For more
information, see
http://www.tug.org/texlive/
And see
http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#news
for a list of changes since TeX Live 2019.
The TeX Live executables and supporting libraries are contained in the following
Cygwin packages:
* texlive-20200406-1
* libkpathsea6-20200406-1
* libkpathsea-devel-20200406-1
libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library.
* libptexenc1-20200406-1
* libptexenc-devel-20200406-1
libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library.
* libsync2-20200406-1
* libsync-devel-20200406-1
libsync is a TeX source/output synchronization library.
* libtexlua53_5-20200406-1
* libtexlua53-devel-20200406-1
libtexlua53 is a TeX lua scripting library.
* libtexluajit2-20200406-1
* libtexluajit-devel-20200406-1
libtexluajit is a TeX Just-In-Time lua compiler library.
* asymptote-2.65-1
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical
drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote
provides for figures the same high-quality typesetting that LaTeX does for
scientific text.
In addition, upstream TeX Live provides thousands of "packages", grouped into
"collections". There is a Cygwin package for each upstream collection; there
are also Cygwin packages containing documentation for some of the collections.

Recommendations
===============
Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge and can
take a long time to install. If you're not sure what you need, here are some
possible ways to start:
Minimal: Install texlive and its dependencies. This provides plain TeX but not
LaTeX.
Basic: Install texlive-collection-latex and its dependencies. This is a minimal
installation with LaTeX.
Small: Install texlive-collection-latexrecommended and its dependencies. This
provides the most commonly used non-graphics LaTeX packages. Install
texlive-collection-pictures if you want the standard graphics packages too.
Medium: Install texlive-collection-binextra, texlive-collection-context,
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended, texlive-collection-fontutils,
texlive-collection-latexrecommended, texlive-collection-luatex,
texlive-collection-mathscience, texlive-collection-metapost,
texlive-collection-plaingeneric, and texlive-collection-xetex.
Fontconfig
==========
There is a script /usr/bin/texlive-enable-fontconfig that you can run if you
want the fonts distributed with TeX Live to be available to applications that
rely on fontconfig. See /usr/share/doc/texlive/README.Cygwin for more details.
(The script can take a few minutes to run, so be patient.)
tlmgr
=====
texlive-collection-basic includes a restricted version of the tlmgr (TeX Live
Manager) utility. See /usr/share/doc/texlive-collection-basic/README.Cygwin for
more details.

Hi! Thank you for maintaining vast packages.
I can't find pdfjoin in texlive-collection-binextra-20200406-1,
while pdfjoin previously belongs to texlive-collection-binextra-20190509-1.

The author no longer supports it, and it has been removed from TeX Live. See

OK, I see.
But `pdfjam` does not work now , because of unnecessary `cygpath -w` in the original source.
I've sent an issue and a pull-request to the source repository.

Thank you.
