LATEX-DEV(1)                General Commands Manual               LATEX-DEV(1)

NAME
       latex-dev, pdflatex-dev, xelatex-dev, lualatex-dev, dvilualatex-dev,
       platex-dev, uplatex-dev - release candidate LaTeX testing

SYNOPSIS
       latex-dev [first-line]

DESCRIPTION
       These -dev executables are intended for testing upcoming LaTeX2e kernel
       changes. They correspond to new formats which have been tested by the
       LaTeX team for stability and usability. Thus, they are not arbitrary
       development snapshots; more like release candidates.

       Wider testing by knowledgeable users is desired, indeed, is the main
       purpose for these executables to exist. Simply replacing the regular
       engine (e.g., pdflatex) with the -dev engine name (pdflatex-dev) is all
       that should be needed.

       The lualatex-dev format is based on luahbtex, the luatex variant with
       harfbuzz enabled for glyph shaping.

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