A lightweight, cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live
TinyTeX no longer defines the TEXMFHOME variable (thanks, @vsheg, #377).
The internal function fc_cache() also runs on the TinyTeX root directory now (3d146ac531aee9b6cb28f6b8a4edecaa11d25dc4).
bundle argument to tinytex::install_tinytex(), so that users can choose to install any TinyTeX bundle, e.g., TinyTeX-0 or TinyTeX-2.The tinytex and tinytex-releases repositories have been moved from @yihui's account to @rstudio, i.e., their addresses are https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex/ and https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases/ now.
The full TeX Live has been pre-built as the TinyTeX-2 bundle in the daily release of TinyTeX: https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases/releases/tag/daily To know how to install it, please see https://github.com/rstudio/tinytex-releases#installation.
If tinytex::install_tinytex() detects an existing LaTeX distribution in the system, it will ask if you want to continue the installation in an interactive R session. If this function is called in a non-interactive R session (e.g., via the Rscript command), it will throw an error in this case, unless the argument force = TRUE is used. This is to prevent an accidental installation of TinyTeX (which occurred on CRAN recently). Another way to prevent the installation is to set the environment variable TINYTEX_PREVENT_INSTALL=true.
On *nix, if the dir ~/.local/bin exists, it will be used as the bin path for TinyTeX, i.e., symlinks of TeX Live binaries will be created to this dir. If it does not exist, ~/bin/ will be used as usual (thanks, @salim-b, #365).
Fixed #354: set the env var TEXLIVE_PREFER_OWN=1 before calling tlmgr() to use TeX Live's own curl instead of curl on PATH (thanks, @netique).
Fixed latex3/luaotfload#213: detect the lua-uni-algos package in case of error module 'lua-uni-normalize' not found (thanks, @dragonstyle).
Added the help page ?tinytex (thanks, @AmeliaMN, #361).
Use set -e and curl -f to fail immediately in the *nix installation script (thanks, @gaborcsardi, #356).
--data argument in tl_sizes() is properly quoted now to make it work on Windows (thanks, @IndrajeetPatil #329, @cderv #330).latexmk() should run the LaTeX engine one more time before calling makeindex (thanks, @trevorcampbell @ttimbers).Fixed the failure to detect the hyphen-french package from the LaTeX log: https://stackoverflow.com/q/69887190/559676
xfun::session_info('tinytex') can report the TeX Live (TinyTeX) version now.
Improved the way tinytex::tlmgr_repo() normalizes the repo URL (#346).
install_tinytex() will automatically switch to using https://github.com/yihui/tinytex-releases/releases/tag/daily to install the daily version of TinyTeX if accessing https://yihui.org fails (#332).
install-bin-unix.sh and install-bin-windows.bat now install TinyTeX from https://github.com/yihui/tinytex-releases/releases/tag/daily instead of https://yihui.org/tinytex/TinyTeX.* (#270).
Fixed #322: automatically install hyphen-* packages in case of polyglossia warnings.
Run tlmgr conf texmf max_print_line 10000 to prevent LaTeX from wrapping log lines (https://github.com/yihui/tinytex/issues/322#issuecomment-924981904). If you do not like this configuration, you may run tlmgr conf texmf --delete max_print_line to delete it.
Fixed the paths in texmf-var/fonts/conf/fonts.conf (thanks, @igelstorm @norbusan, #313).
Each LaTeX warning is now converted to a single R warning, which is printed immediately (thanks, @krivit, #315).
Remove the character v from the version argument of install_tinytex() (thanks, @cderv, #318).
The latest release of TinyTeX from https://github.com/yihui/tinytex-releases can be installed via tinytex::install_tinytex(version = 'latest') now.
Provide a global option options(tinytex.source.install = TRUE) to force tinytex::install_tinytex() to use the source installer instead of installing the prebuilt binary (#301).
The LaTeX package psnfss is included in the default TinyTeX distribution now (#303).
Fixed #295: use the environment variable $OSTYPE in bash to make sure we install the prebuilt TinyTeX binary only for linux but not for other linux distributions such as linux-musl.
Fixed #299: handle the error ! Package pdfx Error: No color profile sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc found and install the colorprofiles package.
Fixed ulyngs/oxforddown#4: also detect missing font definition files like LGRcmr.fd and install the missing packages accordingly.
Fixed #311: install the glossary and datetime2 language module when a warning like this is detected: Package glossaries Warning: No language module detected for `english'.
Fixed #302: the environment variable TINYTEX_VERSION does not work for the script tools/install-bin-unix.sh when it tries to install TinyTeX from the source installer.
Fixed a bug that tinytex:::install_prebuilt("TinyTeX", cache = FALSE) does not delete the TinyTeX installer (#294).
