Yet another related change is that BibTeX and Makeindex now refuse to write their output files to an arbitrary directory (like TEX itself), by default. This is so they can now be enabled for use by the restricted \write18. To change this, the TEXMFOUTPUT environment variable can be set, or the openout_any setting changed. -

XeTEX now supports margin kerning along the same lines as pdfTEX. (Font expansion is not presently supported.) -

By default, tlmgr now saves one backup of each package updated (tlmgr option autobackup 1), so broken packages updates can be easily reverted with tlmgr restore. If you do post-install updates, and don’t have the disk space for the backups, run tlmgr option autobackup 0. -

Finally, the TEX Live release on the TEX Collection DVD can no longer be run live (oddly enough). A single DVD no longer has enough room. One beneficial side effect is that installation from the physical DVD is much faster. -

2011 saw only a few changes. +

The Mac OS X binaries (universal-darwin and x86_64-darwin) now work only on Leopard or later; +Panther and Tiger are no longer supported. +

The MetaPost (mpost) program no longer creates or uses .mem files. The needed files, such as plain.mp, are +simply read on every run. This is related to supporting MetaPost as a library, which is another significant +though not user-visible change. +

The updmap implementation in Perl, previously used only on Windows, has been revamped and is now used +on all platforms. There shouldn’t be any user-visible changes as a result, except that it runs much +faster. +
