At some point the idea was that we'll relegate the LaTeX output to a separate package to reduce the maintenance burden. However, for a while now, I've felt that we want to give the PDF/LaTeX output similar importance as to the HTML backend.

So in order to avoid having to bump [compat] in yet another package, this effectively deprecates the DocumenterLaTeX. In the future, people need to set format = Documenter.LaTeX(...) to compile PDFs.

Technically non-breaking, but breaking in practice:

  • People who use DocumenterLaTeX won't be able to install that package together with Documenter 0.26.
  • Setups that reference Documenter.Writers.LaTeXWriter.LaTeX() directly will technically keep working, but they should update to Documenter.LaTeX().
