tinytex 0.23

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

• Added tests in this package 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. The prebuilt binaries are stored on AppVeyor:

  • Windows: https://yihui.org/tinytex/TinyTeX.zip
  • macOS: https://yihui.org/tinytex/TinyTeX.tgz
  • Ubuntu: https://yihui.org/tinytex/TinyTeX.tar.gz

  tinytex::install_prebuilt() will download the binary package from AppVeyor and install it. If you have difficulties with downloading the binary package from R, you may download it in your web browser, and pass the path of the package to the function, e.g., tinytex:::install_prebuilt("~/Downloads/TinyTeX.zip").

  Note that the prebuilt binaries are provided only for your convenience. I do not recommend that you use them routinely. Normally you should install TinyTeX with tinytex::install_tinytex(). However, in certain cases, you may not be able to run tinytex::install_tinytex(). For example, github.com may be blocked in your region, or the latest version of TeX Live is broken (e.g., #210 #213). Then you can use tinytex:::install_prebuilt() as a temporary workaround, which will give you a working version of TeX Live. This version also includes additional LaTeX packages, and you may request that it includes even more packages by editing tools/pkgs-yihui.txt and send a pull request.
