Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] TeX Live 2018
Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2018 20:02:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <announce.50ca185a-9b1e-ad41-17e5-c1de8abaf917@cornell.edu> (raw)
Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream
release, TeX Live 2018.
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 2017.
The TeX Live executables and supporting libraries are contained in the
following Cygwin packages:
* texlive-20180414-1
* libkpathsea6-20180414-1
* libkpathsea-devel-20180414-1
libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library.
* libptexenc1-20180414-1
* libptexenc-devel-20180414-1
libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library.
* libsync1-20180414-1
* libsync-devel-20180414-1
libsync is a TeX source/output synchronization library.
* libtexlua52_5-20180414-1
* libtexlua52-devel-20180414-1
* libtexlua53_5-20180414-1
* libtexlua53-devel-20180414-1
libtexlua52 and libtexlua53 are TeX lua scripting libraries.
* libtexluajit2-20180414-1
* libtexluajit-devel-20180414-1
libtexluajit is a TeX Just-In-Time lua compiler library.
* asymptote-2.44-1
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.
