From Gerben.Wierda at rna.nl Wed Jan 3 22:19:24 2007 From: Gerben.Wierda at rna.nl (Gerben Wierda) Date: Wed Jan 3 22:19:34 2007 Subject: [Ii2-announce] i-Installer 2.87 released, mandatory upgrade Message-ID: <200c52df236a9fe79f4ee618d28a2802@rna.nl> Dear all, i-Installer 2.87 has been released. This will be a mandatory upgrade for those that use the i-Packages as all i-Packages (except ii2.ii2) will soon not work with a lower version of i-Installer. Main changes: - Donations menu item removed - Startup warning about end of support - Support for deprecated and retired i-Packages G From Gerben.Wierda at rna.nl Wed Jan 3 22:23:11 2007 From: Gerben.Wierda at rna.nl (Gerben Wierda) Date: Wed Jan 3 22:23:18 2007 Subject: [Ii2-announce] Deprecated TeX i-Package and Retired LaTeX Updater i-Package Message-ID: The TeX i-Package (gwTex 2003-2005) has received deprecated status. This means that it will put up a warning before installation and / or configuration. The preferred replacement is the gwTeX i-Package based on a subset of TeX Live. The LaTeX Updater i-Package has been retired. That means that i-Installer will not install or configure it, but only uninstall it. This i-Package existed for a while, while the TeX i-Package had a very outdated LateX. As the new gwTeX i-Package will be up to date for the forseeable future, there is no more LaTeX Updater needed. Both i-Packages require i-Installer 2.87.

Amongst others: - Requires i-Installer 2.87 - Fixes manpath bug on Mac OS X 10.3 (Dick: note that there is a new setmanpath script that guesses manpath version and adapts accordingly) - Added Resources to the TeX Dist structures (thanks, J?r?me). Note, on my 10.3.9 PPC system, the TeX Dist prefpane does not work. - Fixed non-functional powerpc links in the TeX Live .texdist structures - Fixed texdist, which failed (instead of warned) when a certain error situation was found. Before installing, please run sudo rm -rf /Library/TeX from an admin account in a Terminal window, so that th eTeX Dist structures are recreated Note that I do not generally announce these updates on the Mac tex lists anymore (I leave that to others ;-) G From Gerben.Wierda at rna.nl Thu Jan 4 15:32:18 2007 From: Gerben.Wierda at rna.nl (Gerben Wierda) Date: Thu Jan 4 15:32:30 2007 Subject: [Ii2-announce] i-Installer, gwTeX i-package updates Message-ID: <36183EF6-055B-473F-8E75-E0B610FE765B@rna.nl> i-Installer has been updated to version 2.87.1, only some messages have been improved. The gwTeX i-Package has been updated. I have fixed the typo that lead to a deselect of all languages when installing in simple mode (full or basic install). I have also slightly rearranged the configuration such that it is slightly more efficient. I will be maintaining this until the situation has become stable (which also includes that the i-package will contain the final TeX Live binaries) and I will start 'sleeper mode' when that is done. Until then, the situation is still as old, though I have ended e-mail support for people with problems other than bugs I can reproduce immediately.

It contains the latest TeX Live release binaries (probably the release binaries), pdfTex 1.40.1 (yes, the first bugfix release is already there) and XeTeX 0.996. Configuration will also configure ConTeXt for both pdfTeX and XeTeX such that they can be used side-by-side without interfering with each other. I consider this i-Package a release candidate for the TL2006 release. G PS. In case people forget: I will not immediately end *maintenance* of the i-Packages (as I will keep on using them myself). What ends is e-mail *support*.

This makes sure i-Installer overrides the "umask" setting (it turned out that code was inactive, possibly because a statement for testing had not been removed). It also improves the startup panel about support.
