tinytex 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).

tinytex 0.53

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

tinytex 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.

tinytex 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. Usually, a new release of TeX Live is made in March or April every year. If you do not upgrade, you will not be able to use tlmgr to interact with CTAN repositories that use the new release of TeX Live.

tinytex 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).

tinytex 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). More info: https://yihui.org/en/2023/11/tinytex-path/

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

tinytex 0.48

• The script to ask users to chmod /usr/local/bin failed to work on newer versions of macOS (8af916a).

• More efforts in avoid releasing broken versions of TinyTeX (8c3f7e4).

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

tinytex 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(), e.g., yihui/yihui.org#1089 (comment) (cd41991) @LexiangYang.

tinytex 0.46

• Change 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.

tinytex 0.45

• TeX Live has renamed the win32 directory under bin/ to windows (0eed871).

• 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, 7da596a).

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