Bit late, as one of the historic mirrors ran out of space and messed up our workflow:
#TeXLive2025 is now available as historic image via our #IslandOfTeX #docker image registry
registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:TL2025-historic
So in case you are scared by the changes provided by TeXLive2026, feel free to use it (But please ensure to keep one pipeline running texlive:latest to help testing. Thanks!)
The #TeXLive 2026 pretest has started. I activated the pretest builds within our #IslandOfTeX #docker images yesterday.
So in case you want to help testing wthout killing/replacing your local installation feel free to use those. e.g. the full image is available via:
registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:pretest-full
Rebuild will happen daily to keep you up to date.
Thanks for helping!
More Information on the pretest can be found at https://www.tug.org/texlive/pretest.html
@ari Im case you are searching for a font containing special characters, which is already available on your system for #TeXLaTeX (using lualatex) you could use the
#IslandOfTeX's albatross tool.
It will show you a list of fonts which contain all characters you ask for
The pretest für #TeXLive 2025 has started!
In case you want to help finding bugs before the release have a look at https://www.tug.org/texlive/pretest.html
You can also install it additionally to your normal #TeX environment and fall back in case you face any issues. But it's always better to find issues as early as possible.
Of course we are building docker images for the pretest on the #IslandOfTeX again. I'll add more information as soon as they are published.
Since we realized there are too little people knowing about the @TeXUsersGroup #matrix space, feel free to join
https://matrix.to/#/#tug:matrix.org
The TUG channels focus on #TeXLive and #TikZ/#PGF but ou can also find the spaces for #IslandOfTeX as well as as the TeX #Markdown Package space linked there.
