[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: TeX Live 2012

[Ken Brown]

Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream 
release, TeX Live 2012.

TeX Live provides a comprehensive, cross-platform TeX system.  It 
includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts 
that are free software, including support for many languages around the 
world.  For more information, see

   http://www.tug.org/texlive/

The TeX Live executables and supporting libraries are contained in the 
following Cygwin packages:

*** texlive-20120628-1

*** libkpathsea6-20120628-1
*** libkpathsea-devel-20120628-1

libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library.

*** libptexenc1-20120628-1
*** libptexenc-devel-20120628-1

libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library.

*** asymptote-2.16-1

Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for 
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like 
syntax.  Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality 
typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.

In addition, upstream TeX Live provides thousands of "packages", grouped 
into "collections".  There is a Cygwin package for each upstream 
collection; starting with this release, there are also packages 
containing documentation for some of the collections.

Recommendations
===============
Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge. 
If you're not sure what you need, here are some possible ways to start:

Minimal: Install texlive and its dependencies.  This provides plain TeX 
but not LaTeX.

Small: Install texlive-collection-latex and its dependencies.  This is a 
minimal installation with LaTeX.

Standard: Install texlive-collection-latexrecommended and its 
dependencies.  This provides the most commonly used non-graphics LaTeX 
packages.  Install texlive-collection-pictures if you want the standard 
graphics packages too.

If you find you need more, consider installing the following packages:

* texlive-collection-bibtexextra
* texlive-collection-binextra
* texlive-collection-fontsextra
* texlive-collection-formatsextra
* texlive-collection-genericextra
* texlive-collection-latexextra
* texlive-collection-mathextra
* texlive-collection-texinfo
