Доброго времени суток!

Вначале форвард последнего анонса Томаса Эссера:
=====================================================================================
Hi,

I am pleased to announce a new teTeX pretest release. Download from
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-src-beta-20020129.tar.gz
or use any other CTAN mirror. It might take a few hours until dante and
the other CTAN hosts and mirros pick up the file from my server.

This one contains some very new and sometimes experimental stuff:
   * xdvik-22.40g with type1 rendering and source special support
   * dvips-5.86f which contains some new and not-yet very well tested
     partial font downloading code (supports downloading one font with
     more than one encoding)

This version also contains a new too, texdoctk, which is included in the
source tree from now on, but will not work until I release a new version
of the texmf tree.

The same stuff as in the latest teTeX-beta:
   * omega 1.23
   * unreleased pretest web2c version (7.3.7 pretest) with source special support
   * fmtutil now handles metafont / metapost formats, too
   * portability fixes
   * IPC (for TeX) enabled by default
   * pdfTeX 1.00a-pretest-20011114-ojmw

I am still bringing the texmf tree up-to-date and a new (beta) release of
that will follow as soon as this is finnished.

Be careful and do not use it on a production system. I have only compiled
and run it on Linux (SuSE 7.2) so far.  Report any bugs that you find to
tetex-pretest@informatik.uni-hannover.de

	Thomas

Теперь пояснения:

1. Ожидание новой версии teTeX позволит нам реализовать практически
целиком поддержку Type 1 шрифтов в системе по умолчанию, поскольку,
во-первых, новый xdvi будет их поддерживать (не надо более генерировать
теховские растровые шрифты), а во-вторых, новый dvips будет поддерживать
"выдергивание" отдельных глифов из шрифта. Таким образом, шрифты cm-super
и Валентина Филиппова станут доступны всему TeXу.

2. Полноценная поддержка IPC сделает возможным использование on-fly
просмотровщиков, например, в Emacs, которые перекомпилируют только
изменившийся фрагмент документа. Это происходит очень быстро и, по-видимому,
также поддерживается и TeXmacs.

Теперь вопросы:

1. Сколько у нас времени до релиза?

2. Стоит ли овчинка выделки?
