Hi, I am pleased to announce a new teTeX pretest release. Download from ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-src-beta-20020530.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmf-beta-20020530.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmfsrc-beta-20020530.tar.gz or use any other CTAN mirror. It might take a few hours until dante and the other CTAN hosts and mirros pick up the file from my server.
This release is almost the same as TeX Live 7 with the following exceptions: - teTeX has an additional fix for dvips - teTeX's pdftex uses a newer version of libxpdf - we use the most stable omega release 1.15 whereas TeX Live has a later version (which is known to be unstable) NEWS ==== I think that this beta release will be very stable and that a new stable release (teTeX-2.0) will happen in the "not so far future". A special feature is the new updmap which is now installed with the other binaries. There is no manpage, so updmap --help and read the comments in the config file (updmap --edit). The texmf tree seems to be free of any packages with license problems now! Changes since last release (src tarball): ========================================= completely rewritten updmap tool! dvips with -G1 fix (5.90a) stable omega 1.15 mktexpk always tries metafont before anything else xpdf lib 1.01 libpng 1.2.2 shell scripts fixed for zsh on MacOS/X no longer strip the prefix argument when configuring in libs I have only compiled and run it on Linux (SuSE 7.2) so far.
