I think the pretest area is populated with the first build<br>
for TL 2021. See <a href="https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html</a> as usual for<br>
details of how to install (unchanged from previous years), and the list<br>
of notable changes that I've got so far. Additions or corrections to the<br>
news are greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
The binaries for some of the platforms (x86_64-darwinlegacy, *-freebsd,<br>
-solaris, armhf-linux) have not yet been updated. I expect that to<br>
happen soon. All others are current AFAIK. Dick Koch is creating the<br>
MacTeX/BasicTeX packages and they should also be available soon.<br>
<br>
As I mentioned in passing a day or two ago, this year for the first time<br>
tlnet will continue to be updated during this pretest period. That is,<br>
regular package updates sent to CTAN will normally end up in both tlnet<br>
and tlpretest. (If a package update should only be in the pretest,<br>
and you haven't already told me, please say so in the CTAN upload notes.)<br>
<br>
Please don't let this dissuade you from trying the pretest! Better for<br>
everyone to test now than wait for breakage in the official release. TL<br>
has no dedicated testers or QA department, so it's all up to us<br>
collectively as volunteers.<br>
<br>
Hope it flies,<br>
Karl<br>
