TeX Live 2015 - bugs and updates

Most of TeX Live is a redistribution of packages and programs from elsewhere, primarily CTAN. So, the target for bug reports varies according to the nature of the problem.

• If you have problems with a TeX document, e.g., a package is no longer behaving as it used to, this needs to be reported to the package maintainer. As a rule, package-specific fixes are not installed directly in TL (new versions of packages should be uploaded to CTAN), or made by TL developers.
• If you have questions about using TeX, or need help achieving a particular result, please use the general help resources.
• To report a bug in TeX Live installation or infrastructure, please email the tex-live mailing list.

Highlights of changes in this release (details for LuaTeX, XeTeX, MetaPost). If you need to use alternate binaries, the custom binary support in the TL installer may prove useful.

Known issues in TeX Live 2015:

• Asymptote now requires Ghostscript 9.16, due to incompatibilities introduced in Ghostscript; a Windows binary for gs9.16 is included in TeX Live, and a gs9.16 package for MacOSX is available with MacTeX.

• Notes for FreeBSD users explain some details for that platform.

• On Windows, installation may fail for a variety of reasons. See the TeX Live on Windows page for some symptoms and remedies.

Bug archives for the previous release and earlier years are still online.
