The announced update has happened.

Beware of changes WRT footnotes!

Another addition is:
\setuplayout[grid=snapping]
different grid snapping model that delegates more to the TeX engine. Some info in beyond-snapping.tex; still experimental. Some mechanisms (like section heads & math) accept a snapping parameter.

Several bug fixes & small enhancements.

Wolfgang updated the interface definition files!

Prep for #TeXlive 26

#ConTeXt #TeXConTeXt #LMTX

The #TeXLive 2026 pretest has started. I activated the pretest builds within our #IslandOfTeX #docker images yesterday.

So in case you want to help testing wthout killing/replacing your local installation feel free to use those. e.g. the full image is available via:

registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:pretest-full

Rebuild will happen daily to keep you up to date.
Thanks for helping!

#TeXLaTeX

More Information on the pretest can be found at https://www.tug.org/texlive/pretest.html

Hey #Fedora friends. Good news! #TeXLive 2025 is finally in rawhide (and Fedora 44). If you update, you should see all of your epoch 11 texlive* packages upgraded to epoch 12 packages.

I'm sure there are bugs, there always are, please file them or poke me here.

The majority of the components now live inside of separated "texlive-collection" packages which match up to the upstream TeXLive collections (except for the components which are non-free, boooo). This makes it much easier to update them (without updating every other component at the same time).

All of this done just in time for TeXLive 2026 (in a few months).

Big thanks to @mirek for doing so many reviews and helping to finish off this herculean task.

2/ Sie hat sich auch für #LaTeX entschieden. #texlive

Trying to help my girlfriend get a #Latex setup running on her Windows Laptop for her bachelor's thesis, and my god why is that so fucking complicated? Took like 10 attempts to just install #Texlive because download mirrors kept crapping out in the online installer, had to find out there's a way to just download the entire thing as an ISO before starting the install. That seems to be running now, fingers crossed

@halfa Might be too late, but next time maybe the DEPendency Printer for #TeXLive might help.

There's still a few things on the todo list, but for the last projects I didn't have to add anything manually except additional binaries.

#TeXLaTeX

Although I have discontinued support and further development of the #TeXLaTeX package #marginnote, I have moved development from #github to #Codeberg, created another release, and also uploaded it to #CTAN. #TeXLive has already adopted the new release. The change it contains to column detection in native twocolumn mode comes from TeX.SX user cabohah. A new maintainer is still being sought.

Obwohl ich Support und Weiterentwicklung des #TeXLaTeX Pakets #marginnote eingestellt habe, habe ich die Entwicklung von #github nach #Codeberg verlagert, eine weitere Release erstellt und auch auf #CTAN hochgeladen. #TeXLive hat die neue Release bereits übernommen. Die darin enthaltene Änderung der Spaltenermittlung im nativen twocolumn-Modus stammt von TeX.SX-Benutzer cabohah. Es wird weiterhin ein neuer Maintainer gesucht.

TeXstudio updated to version 4.9.1

To all of you out there, all the best for 2026!

PS, thanks to Bruno for providing me some sample tex files to be able to track this!

Ein Teil meines etwas ungewöhnlichen Jahresendspurts: #RWTH-CI - das offizielle #TeXLaTeX bundle der #RWTH #Aachen ist jetzt endlich Teil von #TeXLive.

Ich hoffe dass ich nicht zu viele Bugs übersehen haben … aber falls ihr noch welche findet … gerne Bescheid geben ;-)

https://ctan.org/pkg/rwth-ci

Danke auch an @lukascbossert für die Beiträge, das Testen und vor allem auch deinen Einsatz für die Veröffentlichung.

I can always count on TeX Live to make every upgrade take at least half an hour. I know I probably don't need all those *-doc packages, but still.

#TeX #LaTeX #TeXLive

I've possibly found a regression in #texlive but it might not be packaging but the #upstream. Reading the build instructions does not make me confident I can bisect this one.

TeXstudio updated to version 4.8.9.

Over here at @arXiv we have released our new submission system as well as update to #TeXLive 2025! Yeah! Read the announcements here:

Wer arbeitet hier auch regelmäßig mit #LaTeX ?

Does anybody work regularly with LaTeX?

In my opinion it should be used more in #school or #university. It is so much powerful for writing reports or something like that.

That's three boxes updated to #trixie now. The last one was a bit of a challenge: I run a reasonably full installation on it, including #GNOME and #TeXLive. Two of my partitions, /var and /, were not quite big enough for the installation, so I needed to move some files around.

At least apt advises you and stops if there's insufficient room for the downloads...

Two boxes left, but neither is pure #Debian : #osmc and #RaspberryPiOS (Debian doesn't run on an #RPi5 yet).

Si te quedas atascado instalando #texlive-full o #pdflatex

Solo oprime enter tantas veces hasta que te aparezca la palabra : done.

Has así en cada etapa que te quedes atascado.

Simplemente funciona.

#gnulinux

I asked ChatGPT how to compile a Typst document. It told me to install TeX Live and use `pdflatex`. Not what I expected but perhaps still the correct answer. #latex #texlive

Here we go again hahah I'm installing #latex with the arch linux package named #texlive and the fan of the computer pretend to be a flight one hahaha
