# MiKTeX Change Log

## 20.6.29 - 2020-06-29

This followup release to fix some regressions:

- [568](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/568): pdflatex fails after recent update
- [569](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/569): \show crashes MiKTeX

## 20.6 - 2020-06-28

### New release versioning scheme

The MiKTeX project has switched to a date-based versioning scheme for releases.

See this issue for more info: [https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/554](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/554)

### New programs

- patgen 1.0.6
- upmendex 0.54

### Fixed issues

- [41](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/41): Error running miktex on Win 10 ver. 1709
- [534](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/534): include patgen in repo
- [538](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/538): MACOS, mthelp calls firefox instead of open
- [552](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/552): LuaLaTex fails on special characters in the windows user account path
- [554](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/554): MiKTeX release versioning
- [556](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/556): -jobname cli option broken on latex, pdflatex, xelatex, still working on lualatex
- [561](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/561): include upmendex in repository

## 2.9.7440 - 2020-05-17

### Breaking changes

#### Removal of Omega 1.15

Omega 1.15 is obsolete and has now been removed from the distribution.

#### Windows 8.3 file names

In the past, it was possible to specify Windows 8.3 file names (aka
short file names) when invoking a TeX engine. As of 2.9.7440, this is
not supported anymore.

Impact: The following use case is broken:

```
pdflatex abraka~1.tex
```

where `abraka~1.tex` is the 8.3 variant of the long file name `abrakadabra.tex`.

#### Package database signing

In the past, package database signing was optional. As of MiKTeX
2.9.7440, it is required that MiKTeX package database files are
provided with a valid signature.

Reason: In order to support custom remote package repositories (see
[Allow local http
mirrors](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/519)), it must be
ensured that the contents of the custom package repository is
unmodified.

Impact: Users will receive an error message if they visit an outdated
(no signature) or modified (tampered database) package repository.

### Unrestricted shell escape commands and elevated privileges

As of MiKTeX 2.9.7440, it is possible to prevent the execution of
unrestricted shell escape commands when a program is running with
elevated privileges:

```
initexmf --verbose --set-config-value [Core]AllowUnrestrictedSuperUser=f
```

This prevents the following use case:

```
sudo pdflatex --shell-escape file.tex
```

where `file.tex` contains:

```
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{shellesc}
\begin{document}
\ShellEscape{echo hello, world! > hello.txt}
\input{hello.txt}
\end{document}
```

For more information and discussion, visit the issue page at GitHub:

## 2.9.7300 - 2020-02-17

### Group-delimited \input argument

MiKTeX adopted the forthcoming TL 2020 \input enhancement which allows
you to specify file with spaces in the name:

```
\input{my stuff}
\input{"my stuff"}
```

To quote Karl Berry:

> For TL 2020, I think we're going to be able to extend
> \input so that it can take a grouped argument (\input{...}), and thus
> allow any character in the name -- except that " characters will still
> be eliminated, at LaTeX's request.  This won't affect the standard
> space/token-delimited use of \input in any way.

### CentOS 8

MiKTeX is now available for CentOS 8. Quick installation instructions:

```
sudo rpm --import "https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD6BC243565B2087BC3F897C9277A7293F59E4889"
sudo curl -L -o /etc/yum.repos.d/miktex.repo https://miktex.org/download/centos/8/miktex.repo
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install miktex
```

## 2.9.7050 - 2019-05-30

### Breaking changes

#### `--c-style-errors` does not imply `\scrollmode` anymore

You can use the `--interaction=scrollmode` option, if you depend on the old behaviour:

```
pdflatex --c-style-errors --interaction=scrollmode document.tex
```

## 2.9.6930 - 2019-01-06

### Resetting personal MiKTeX configuration

In order to avoid leftovers, MiKTeX Console learned to reset the
personal MiKTeX configuration if MiKTeX was installed system-wide:

![](images/console-cleanup-reset-personal.png)

This allows users to remove their MiKTeX related installation files
before a system administrator completely uninstalls MiKTeX.

### Admin mode: blinding out of personal MiKTeX configuration

Prior to MiKTeX 2.9.6930, personal TEXMF root directories were visible
(e.g., in MiKTeX Console) when running in administrator mode. This
behaviour has been changed: in MiKTeX 2.9.6930 and higher, personal
TEXMF root directories are blinded out when running in administrator
mode.

### Update improvements

The `Check for updates` operation is much faster now.

### Fixed security issues

#### CVE-2018-17407

This applies to MiKTeX (TeX Live is an upstream source):

> An issue was discovered in t1_check_unusual_charstring functions in writet1.c files in TeX Live before 2018-09-21.
> A buffer overflow in the handling of Type 1 fonts allows arbitrary code execution when a malicious font is loaded by one of
> the vulnerable tools: pdflatex, pdftex, dvips, or luatex.

## 2.9.6600 - 2018-02-11

### MiKTeX Console

[MiKTeX Console](https://miktex.org/announcement/miktex-console) is
the new MiKTeX management tool which combines three UI applications
into one:

* MiKTeX Package Manager
* MiKTeX Settings
* MiKTeX Update Wizard

### `miktex-lua53tex`

LuaTeX now comes in two variants:

* `miktex-luatex` is the default engine with Lua 5.2 inside
* `miktex-lua53tex` is the experimental engine with Lua 5.3 inside

#### Switching engines

By default, the LuaTeX executables (`luatex`, `lualatex`, ...) are
linked to the 5.2 engine.

You can switch the engine by setting a configuration value and
recreating links to the executables.

To use the new 5.3 based engine:

    initexmf --set-config-value [luatex]luaver=5.3
    initexmf --force --mklinks

To switch back to the 5.2 based engine:

    initexmf --set-config-value [luatex]luaver=5.2
    initexmf --force --mklinks

As always: run `initexmf` with administrator privileges and add the
`--admin` option, if you manage a shared MiKTeX installation.

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D6BC243565B2087BC3F897C9277A7293F59E4889
    echo "deb http://miktex.org/download/ubuntu xenial universe" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/miktex.list
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install miktex

See [this howto](https://miktex.org/howto/install-miktex-unx) for more info.

### Dockerized build environments

The MiKTeX build environment has been dockerized for the following
Linux distros:

* [Ubuntu 16.04](https://github.com/MiKTeX/docker-miktex-build-xenial)
* [Debian 9](https://github.com/MiKTeX/docker-miktex-build-stretch)
* [Fedora 25](https://github.com/MiKTeX/docker-miktex-build-fedora-25)

This makes it possible to build MiKTeX using Docker.  No build tools
required.

For example, to build MiKTeX for Debian 9:

    mkdir -p /tmp/miktex
    curl -fsSL https://miktex.org/download/ctan/systems/win32/miktex/source/miktex-2.9.tar.xz | \
      tar -xJ --strip-components=1 -C /tmp/miktex
    docker pull miktex/miktex-build-stretch
    docker run --rm -t \
