CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.60

  • The backward-compatible TinyTeX.tar.gz (Linux) and TinyTeX.tgz (macOS) bundles are now truly gzip-compressed instead of being XZ-compressed copies with misleading extensions. Backward-compatible copies are only provided for the TinyTeX bundle (used by Quarto's quarto install tinytex), not for TinyTeX-0, TinyTeX-1, or TinyTeX-2 (thanks, @knstmrd @pebenbow, rstudio/tinytex-releases#58).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.59

  • Fixed font package detection for fonts with spaces in their names (e.g., "Noto Emoji", "DejaVu Sans"). Previously, latexmk() failed to automatically install the missing font package because the search pattern preserved the space, but font files never have spaces in their names (thanks, @cderv, #478, #479).

  • Added detection for PDF/A errors and automatic installation of the latex-lab package when \DocumentMetadata support files are missing (thanks, @cderv).

  • Added the colorprofiles, latex-lab, and pdfmanagement-testphase packages to the TinyTeX bundle to better support PDF/A document compilation (thanks, @cderv, @gordonwoodhull, #481, #482).

  • Support TeX Live on macOS when symlinks are installed to /Library/TeX/texbin (a standard MacTeX-style installation), so that users no longer need to manually adjust PATH.

  • TinyTeX prebuilt binaries are now provided for ARM64 Linux (aarch64) (thanks, @edavidaja, #483).

  • TinyTeX prebuilt binaries are now provided for x86_64 musl Linux (Alpine Linux and other musl-based distributions), so Docker/Alpine users can install TinyTeX with a fast binary download instead of a slow source build (#485, #487).

  • The TinyTeX release binary naming scheme has been updated to TinyTeX-{N}-{os}[-{arch}].{ext} (e.g., TinyTeX-1-linux-x86_64.tar.xz, TinyTeX-1-linux-arm64.tar.xz, TinyTeX-1-darwin.tar.xz). Old-style names remain available as backward-compatible copies (#484).

  • install_tinytex() and install-bin-unix.sh now automatically detect and use the new naming scheme for versions after 2026.03.02, and fall back to the old naming for older versions.

  • The default CTAN repository is now https://tlnet.yihui.org (a CDN-based mirror hosted on Cloudflare). If this is not accessible, the installer falls back to https://mirror.ctan.org.

  • The Windows installation scripts (install-windows.bat and install-bin-windows.bat) have been rewritten in PowerShell; the .bat files are now thin wrappers that download and run the corresponding .ps1 scripts (#492, #493).

  • Suppress spurious warnings from tlmgr_version() when tlmgr cannot be executed (rstudio/rmarkdown#2612).

  • On macOS, TinyTeX now uses /etc/paths.d/TinyTeX to add the TinyTeX binary directory to PATH when /usr/local/bin is not writable, instead of recursively changing the ownership of /usr/local/bin. The previous behavior (using tlmgr path add) is preserved for users who have already made /usr/local/bin writable. This fixes a filesystem security issue (thanks, @r2evans, #463, #489).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.58

  • Detect missing language definition files from babel errors ! Package babel Error: Unknown option 'xxx' (thanks, @cderv, #476).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.57

  • Added the missing font detection for the haranoaji package (thanks, @kenjisato @cderv, #465).

  • The daily TinyTeX release includes texlive-local.deb now (thanks, @salim-b, #467).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.56

  • Fixed a bug introduced in v0.55 that changed latexmk()'s default output path inadvertently, causing errors when compiling a .tex input file that is not under the current working directory (thanks, @thanasisn @solvi808, rstudio/rmarkdown#2589).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.55

  • latexmk() supports the engine arguments --no-pdf and --output-format=dvi now (thanks, @pmur002, #455).

  • Corrected the filename of TeX Live source package installer from install-unix.tar.gz to installer-unix.tar.gz (thanks, @csoneson, #460).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.54

  • Provided an internal function tinytex:::ctan_mirrors() to return a data frame containing information about all CTAN mirrors (#450).

  • Changed which to command -v in the installation script for *nix. The latter is more portable because it is a built-in shell feature, and which is an external utility that is not necessarily installed (#451).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.53

  • Detects the missing font from the fontspec error The font "***" cannot be found (thanks, @cderv, #448).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.52

  • Added independent packages in lieu of the ms package to the TinyTeX bundle (thanks, @benz0li, #445).

  • Added the anyfontsize package to the TinyTeX bundle (thanks, @olivroy, #446).

  • Disabled the automatic search and installation of missing LaTeX packages by default when the LaTeX distribution is not TinyTeX.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.51

  • Added a global option tinytex.upgrade to automatically upgrade TinyTeX when it fails due to a new release of TeX Live each year. By default, this option is FALSE. If you set options(tinytex.upgrade = TRUE) (e.g., in .Rprofile), TinyTeX will try to upgrade itself when it is not possible to install or update LaTeX packages from CTAN due to the fact that it is still based on a previous year's TeX Live.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.50

  • The installation script install-bin-unix.sh will throw an error early if perl is not found (thanks, @jangorecki, #431). Note that on Linux, perl-base is insufficient.

  • options(tinytex.tlmgr_update = FALSE) can be set to prevent tlmgr update --self --all when tinytex::tlmgr_install() tries to install packages (thanks, @matthewgson, #434).

  • Fixed bugs in tinytex:::auto_repo() that prevented tinytex::install_tinytex() from setting the CTAN repository after installation (thanks, @dmkaplan2000, #436).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.49

  • On Windows, TinyTeX will be installed to the directory defined by the environment variable ProgramData when APPDATA points to a path that contains spaces or non-ASCII characters (thanks, @AJThurston @wesleyburr #420, @norbusan #427).

  • Detect and fix the error caused by the L3 programming layer mismatch (thanks, @wesleyburr, #424).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.48

  • The script to ask users to chmod /usr/local/bin failed to work on newer versions of macOS.

  • More efforts to avoid releasing broken versions of TinyTeX.

  • Deal with invalid characters in LaTeX logs (thanks, @martinmodrak, #425).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.47

  • Documented on the help page ?tinytex::install_tinytex that installing TinyTeX requires perl, and perl-base on Linux is not sufficient (thanks, @mfansler, #419).

  • Enhanced the instruction message when users run into Unicode problems in latexmk() (thanks, @LexiangYang).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.46

  • Changed tlmgr_version(raw = TRUE/FALSE) to tlmgr_version(format = 'raw'/'string'/'list'): the previous raw = TRUE means format = 'raw'; raw = FALSE means format = 'string'; format = 'list' returns structured data that can be used for computation.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.45

  • TeX Live has renamed the win32 directory under bin/ to windows.

  • Automatically correct the spelling of TinyTeX in the bundle argument of install_tinytex() (thanks, @kellijohnson-NOAA, #408).

  • Fixed a bug that check_installed() returns FALSE for the entire vector when a single package is missing (thanks, @ThierryO, #404).

  • The babel language pinyin should be treated as chinese (thanks, @nigeder).

  • Removed the LaTeX package soulutf8 from TinyTeX (thanks, @benz0li, #402).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.44

  • For the TinyTeX-2 bundle, its file format has been changed from .gz to .xz on Linux and macOS (#394), and from .zip to .exe on Windows (#398).

  • The installation script install-unx.sh no longer changes the working directory (#386).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.43

  • Added the LaTeX package pdfcol to the TinyTeX bundle (#387).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.42

  • Querying CTAN might time out, which can cause failure in installing TinyTeX (thanks, Lillian Welsh, https://stackoverflow.com/q/73404800/559676).

  • When installing TinyTeX on macOS and the directory /usr/local/bin does not exist, users will be prompted to create it. Then if it is not writable, users will be prompted to make it writable via chown.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.41

  • TinyTeX no longer defines the TEXMFHOME variable (thanks, @vsheg, #377).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.40

  • Added a bundle argument to tinytex::install_tinytex(), so that users can choose to install any TinyTeX bundle, e.g., TinyTeX-0 or TinyTeX-2.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.39

  • 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

  • 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. In a non-interactive R session, it will throw an error unless force = TRUE is used. The environment variable TINYTEX_PREVENT_INSTALL=true can also be set to prevent the installation.

  • On *nix, if the dir ~/.local/bin exists, it will be used as the bin path for TinyTeX. If it does not exist, ~/bin/ will be used as usual (thanks, @salim-b, #365).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.38

  • 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).

  • 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).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.37

  • Fixed rstudio/bookdown#1274: latexmk() should run the LaTeX engine one more time before calling makeindex (thanks, @trevorcampbell @ttimbers).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.36

  • Fixed the failure to detect the hyphen-french package from the LaTeX log.

  • xfun::session_info('tinytex') can report the TeX Live (TinyTeX) version now.

  • Improved the way tinytex::tlmgr_repo() normalizes the repo URL (#346).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.35

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.34

  • The --data argument in tl_sizes() is properly quoted now to make it work on Windows (thanks, @IndrajeetPatil #329, @cderv #330).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.33

  • 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).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.32

  • 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 other 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 missing packages accordingly.

  • Fixed #311: install the glossary and datetime2 language module when a warning like Package glossaries Warning: No language module detected for 'english' is detected.

  • Fixed #302: the environment variable TINYTEX_VERSION does not work for tools/install-bin-unix.sh when trying to install TinyTeX from the source installer.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.31

  • Support tectonic as a new engine (thanks, @dpryan79, #290).

  • Also recompile the .tex document if required by biblatex (thanks, @cderv, #288).

  • check_installed() returns a logical vector instead of a scalar now, to indicate if individual LaTeX packages are installed or not.

  • Fixed #291: detect the l3kernel package from the error message about expl3.sty, and update existing packages when they are required to be installed, since they might be too old to remain compatible with other packages.

  • Bundled more LaTeX packages in the TinyTeX.* bundles.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.30

  • Exported functions is_tinytex() and check_installed() (thanks, @cderv, #269).

  • When options(tinytex.latexmk.warning = FALSE), delete the log file in latex_emu() if it contains warnings (thanks, @guang-yu-zhu, #281).

  • Removed warnings against existing LaTeX distributions in install_tinytex() (thanks, @AmeliaMN, #275).

  • Set TEXMFHOME to ./texmf-home instead of $TEXMFLOCAL.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.29

  • Missing fonts are better detected now, e.g., for the font name Caladea, tinytex also tries to find files Caladea-(Bold|Italic|Regular) (thanks, @cderv, #268).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.28

  • It is possible to suppress LaTeX warnings via the global option options(tinytex.latexmk.warning = FALSE) now (thanks, @fgoerlich #256, @cderv #260).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.27

  • Fixed the installation script for non-Linux platforms (#243).

  • When bibtex fails, tinytex::latexmk() should try to find out the missing packages instead of stopping immediately.

  • Run rd %APPDATA/TinyTeX% twice to remove TinyTeX on Windows to avoid installation failures. Also deleted install-tl and install-tl-windows.bat in the prebuilt TinyTeX binaries.

  • Added the tinytex::tlmgr_repo() function to query or set the CTAN repository for TinyTeX.

  • Fixed tinytex::install_tinytex() for Linux machines that are not x86_64 (#252).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.26

  • The R function tinytex::install_tinytex() now installs prebuilt binaries of TinyTeX. Previously it used the TeX Live installer to install packages. Now it downloads a single prebuilt package and extracts it locally. If the operating system is not Windows, macOS, or Linux, the previous method (the TeX Live installer) is still used.

  • By default, tinytex::install_tinytex() will reinstall all currently installed LaTeX packages after reinstalling TinyTeX, so you won't lose any packages. If you want a fresh installation (keeping the previous behavior), use install_tinytex(extra_packages = NULL).

  • Added a version argument to install_tinytex(), so users can install a specific version of TinyTeX.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.25

  • Improved the search for missing TikZ libraries (thanks, @boltomli, #221).

  • Fixed the installation of TinyTeX on Unix-alikes such as FreeBSD (thanks, @rhurlin, #222).

  • Added an argument delete_tlpdb to tlmgr_update() to automatically delete the tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.* files after tlmgr update. The value of this argument can be set via a global option options(tinytex.delete_tlpdb = TRUE) (thanks, @AlfonsoMuskedunder, #226).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.24

  • The value of the install_packages argument of tinytex::latexmk() can be set via a global option, e.g., options(tinytex.install_packages = FALSE) to disable the automatic installation of missing LaTeX packages.

  • By default, the automatic installation of missing packages only works when the tlmgr executable is writable. This means that, by default, tinytex::latexmk() will no longer try to install missing packages if you are using the texlive-* packages of your OS (e.g., Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.23

  • tinytex::latexmk() can automatically install missing hyphen-* packages now (thanks, @boltomli, #204).

  • Added tests to make sure the default installation of TinyTeX is able to compile basic R Markdown documents and bookdown projects against pdflatex, xelatex, and lualatex (thanks, @AlfonsoMuskedunder, #207).

  • tinytex:::install_prebuilt() supports Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu now.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.22

  • Provided a more informative message to R users about upgrading TeX Live yearly.

  • Exported the parse_install() function.

  • Fixed the bug that latexmk() could accidentally delete TinyTeX on Linux (#197). Linux users are strongly recommended to update tinytex to v0.22.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.21

  • Do not run tlmgr path add if /usr/local/bin/tlmgr doesn't exist (thanks, @cboettig, #181).

  • Do not use $HOME in texmf variables, otherwise they might create ~/.TinyTeX (#150).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.20

  • tinytex:::is_tinytex() will no longer signal an error if TinyTeX is not found; it returns FALSE instead.

  • uninstall_tinytex() will cleanly uninstall TinyTeX and delete the ~/.TinyTeX folder if it exists.

  • Added an argument add_path to install_tinytex() so users can disable tlmgr path add (thanks, @norbusan, #179).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.19

  • Added more LaTeX packages to the default installation due to changes on CTAN (thanks, @ateucher @jonkeane, #158 #166 #167 #169).

  • Support installing older versions of TeX Live from https://texlive.info.

  • Automatically install mktexpk when necessary (#173).

  • Correctly detect the missing file from error messages of the form Encoding file 't2aenc.def' not found (thanks, @ngriffiths21, #174).

  • Emit fewer messages when trying to automatically install missing LaTeX packages (#174).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.18

  • Added a few LaTeX packages to the default installation of TinyTeX (#158, #160, #163).

  • Automatically install epstopdf when there is an error ! xdvipdfmx:fatal: pdf_ref_obj(): passed invalid object. (#161).

  • When a .tex document fails to compile, run tinytex::tlmgr_update() to avoid package compatibility issues.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.17

  • Missing LaTeX packages can be detected from error messages like ! Package isodate.sty Error: Package file substr.sty not found (thanks, @boltomli, #144).

  • Added an argument min_times to tinytex::latexmk() to specify the minimum number of compilation times (thanks, @billdenney, #148).

  • The repository argument of tinytex::install_tinytex() is more intelligent now: if you only provide repository = "http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/CTAN/", the path to tlnet will be appended automatically.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.16

  • Allow tlmgr path add to fail on macOS when installing TinyTeX.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.15

  • Fixed #129: redirect xelatex error messages to the LaTeX log file, so that missing font packages (e.g., rsfs) can be parsed and automatically installed (thanks, @uninyhart).

  • Fixed #132: tinytex.profile contains broken paths on Windows (thanks, @twwd).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.14

  • Missing TikZ libraries can be identified from the LaTeX error message and automatically installed by tinytex::latexmk().

  • The missing mptopdf package can be correctly detected from the LaTeX error message and automatically installed.

  • tinytex::tl_pkgs() correctly returns package names containing dots, such as texlive.infra (thanks, @riccardoporreca, #120).

  • Added the float package to the default installation of TinyTeX (thanks, @ivan-krukov, #122).

  • Compile LaTeX documents for enough times when longtable is used (thanks, @eheinzen, #124).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.13

  • tinytex::reinstall_tinytex() will print out the instruction on how to reinstall previously installed LaTeX packages, in case the reinstall fails.

  • tinytex::reinstall_tinytex() will try to preserve the texmf-local directory if it is not empty (#117).

  • For the shell/batch scripts to install TinyTeX, the CTAN mirror can be set via the environment variable CTAN_REPO (#114).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.12

  • Fixed #108: if the repository argument is provided in tinytex::install_tinytex(), the TeX Live network installer will be downloaded from this repository instead of the default CTAN mirror.

  • When an error like ! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character is detected in the LaTeX compilation log, tinytex::latexmk() will remind users of using xelatex instead of the default pdflatex (#109).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.11

  • latexmk() will try to automatically install babel hyphenation packages (#97).

  • tinytex received a hex logo designed by @haozhu233.

  • Also read missfont.log to automatically install missing font packages.

  • latexmk(engine = 'latex') is also supported to generate .dvi output from .tex.

  • Allow TinyTeX to be installed alongside with other LaTeX distributions (#102).

  • No longer require /usr/local/bin to be writable on macOS (#24).

  • When there is a LaTeX error ! Missing $ inserted, latexmk() will try to provide more context for R Markdown users to find out where the error comes from.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.10

  • latexmk() will do a better job of detecting and installing font packages.

  • When the LaTeX compilation generates warnings in the log file, the log file will not be deleted.

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.9

  • Five LaTeX packages (dvips, helvetic, inconsolata, tex, times) were added to the default TinyTeX installation (#73).

  • On macOS, if /usr/local/bin is not writable during tinytex::install_tinytex(), the installation script will ask for password to gain the admin privilege to make this directory writable (#24).

  • Patch tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm to remove the false alarm when (un)installing LaTeX packages via tlmgr in a system-wide TinyTeX installation (#77).

CHANGES IN tinytex VERSION 0.8

  • Fixed #69: install_tinytex() failed on Windows.

  • Added a function tinytex_root() to return the root directory of TinyTeX.

  • Added functions copy_tinytex() and use_tinytex() to make it easier to copy an existing TinyTeX installation to another location and use it in another system.
