SYNOPSIS

10       latex-dev [first-line]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       These -dev executables are intended for testing upcoming LaTeX2e kernel
14       changes.  They  correspond to new formats which have been tested by the
15       LaTeX team for stability and usability. Thus, they  are  not  arbitrary
16       development snapshots; more like release candidates.
17
18       Wider  testing  by  knowledgeable users is desired, indeed, is the main
19       purpose for these executables to exist. Simply  replacing  the  regular
20       engine (e.g., pdflatex) with the -dev engine name (pdflatex-dev) is all
21       that should be needed.
22
23       The lualatex-dev format is based on luahbtex, the luatex  variant  with
24       harfbuzz enabled for glyph shaping.

26       Please  report  bugs  in  these -dev versions, like all LaTeX releases,
27       following the procedure at https://www.latex-project.org/bugs.
