MiKTeX Tools 2.8 Beta 2

by CSchenk23. February 2009 10:10

A new release for GNU/Linux will be available later this week. It is tagged "MiKTeX Tools 2.8 Beta 2".

What's new

  • MiKTeX-pdfTeX, the MiKTeX variant of the pdfTeX angine, has been ported.
  • Binary packages (deb/rpm/tgz) are now available for i386 GNU/Linux systems.

MiKTeX-pdfTeX

The engine features integrated package management: missing packages will be installed on-the-fly (after confirmation).

The binary is installed as miktex-pdftex so that it can coexist with the pdftex binary of the host TeX system.

Availability

Binary packages (deb/rpm/tgz) and source code will be released later this week. Keep an eye on the MiKTeX Tools home page (http://miktex.org/unx/).

--admin is a new option. Do you have another (pre Beta 2) MiKTeX Tools installation?
