Breaking changes
Common TEXMF root directories in a private (current user) installation
In the past, common TEXMF root directories (e.g., C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
)
were in the input search path, even if MiKTeX was installed for the current user only.
As of 21.6.28, common TEXMF root directories are excluded from the input search path.
This should have no impact for most users, because these directories usually
do not exist when MiKTeX is installed for the current user.
Fixed issues
Breaking changes
Non-secure package repository URLs (schemes ftp
and http
) are deprecated. The package repository
picker (<Random package repository on the Internet>
) always chooses a secure URL (scheme https
).
