The release of the TeX Live 2022 distribution kit, created in 1996 on the basis of the teTeX project, has been prepared. TeX Live is the easiest way to deploy a scientific documentation infrastructure, regardless of the operating system used. An assembly (4 GB) of TeX Live 2021 has been generated for download, which contains a working Live environment, a complete set of installation files for various operating systems, a copy of the CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) repository, and a selection of documentation in different languages ββ(including Russian).
Among the innovations can be noted:
- A new hitex engine is proposed, which generates output in the HINT format, specially designed for reading technical documentation on mobile devices. HINT viewers are available for GNU/Linux, Windows and Android.
- Added new primitives: "\showstream" (to redirect the output of the "\show" command to a file), "\partokenname", "\partokencontext", "\vadjust", "\lastnodefont", "\suppresslongerror", "\suppressoutererror" and "\suppressmathparerror".
- LuaTeX has improved support for TrueType fonts and added the ability to use variable fonts in luahbtex.
- pdfTeX and LuaTeX added support for structured references defined by the PDF 2.0 specification.
- The pTeX component has been updated to version 4.0.0 with better support for the latest LaTeX markup.
