We know this will cause extra work for Windows users, but there seemed no better alternative. The new directory name is bin/windows (it did not seem right to put 64-bit binaries into a directory named with “32”). Windows: As announced previously, TeX Live now contains 64-bit Windows binaries instead of 32-bit.


Thanks goes to all the developers, builders, the great CTAN team, and everyone who has contributed to this release!įinally, here are the changes as listed in the master TeX Live documentation: This should help get a working installation on the first run. Non-essential packages are installed afterwards and retried on error, but failures do not terminate the installation. In particular, we now install the necessary core packages immediately, and fail fast if there is a problem.

One of the things I have done over the last year is making tlmgr/install-tl more stable with respect to intermittent errors. Development is fast in this area, so I expect that the binary will soon be out-of-date. If you need tlgpg for TL2022 and before, use tlgpg-2022 instead of tlgpgĪnother interesting change is the inclusion of luametatex, a new engine which is used for ConTeXt. tlgpg as is can only be used with TL 2023., use the respective year directly instead of current tlcontrib’s current points to 2023 and cannot be used with older versions.This change triggered updates in several additional repositories, like tlcontrib and tlgpg: The biggest change in this year’s release is the switch to 64bit Windows binaries, and renaming the binary directory from win32 to windows. Get the Champagne ready, we have released the final images of TeX Live 2023.
