[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: TeX Live 2012


Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream release, TeX Live 2012.

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/

The TeX Live executables and supporting libraries are contained in the following Cygwin packages:

*** texlive-20120628-1

*** libkpathsea6-20120628-1
*** libkpathsea-devel-20120628-1

libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library.

*** libptexenc1-20120628-1
*** libptexenc-devel-20120628-1

libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library.

*** asymptote-2.16-1

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; starting with this release, there are also packages containing documentation for some of the collections.

Recommendations
===============
Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge. 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.

Small: Install texlive-collection-latex and its dependencies. This is a minimal installation with LaTeX.

Standard: 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.

If you find you need more, consider installing the following packages:

* texlive-collection-bibtexextra
* texlive-collection-binextra
* texlive-collection-fontsextra
* texlive-collection-formatsextra
* texlive-collection-genericextra
* texlive-collection-latexextra
* texlive-collection-mathextra
* texlive-collection-texinfo
