Projects from Overleaf and VS Code compile and import cleanly, a simpler installer, grouped coltex help, and skills that are all your own.

Fixed

  • A project whose latexmkrc sends the output to another folder ($out_dir = 'build', as VS Code's LaTeX Workshop is often set up) no longer fails every build. ColTex keeps latexmk's output where it reads it; the rest of the latexmkrc still applies.
  • With many files, the file tree no longer runs under the file outline in the editor's side panel.
  • The installer's download bar looked full from the start in terminals that don't dim text (PuTTY, for one).

Improved

  • Importing a project leaves out the build files other editors leave behind (.aux, .log, .synctex.gz and the like) and folders such as .vscode, as Overleaf does. latexmkrc and .bbl files are kept.
  • A PDF opened from the file tree is shown like the build's PDF, filling the pane, and images are shown on white instead of a checkerboard. A file that isn't a readable PDF says so instead of showing nothing.
  • The installer asks only for the language and the TeX Live edition. Remote access (Tailscale, Cloudflare Tunnel) is turned on afterwards in Settings → Network, or with the same options as before. The edition choices say what each contains.
  • The installer's download shows the speed instead of the time and says in one line where the images come from. The closing screen lists the common commands and, when ~/.local/bin isn't in PATH, one line that adds it and works right away.
  • coltex help groups the commands by task and says what each does; coltex cli on its own shows it too.
  • Downloads of ColTex's code from GitHub, in the installer and in coltex update, are tried again when the connection is reset.
  • Skills are each person's own, for all their projects. Project skills are removed.

New

  • coltex reset-password <email> and coltex system-admin <email>, without coltex cli.
  • Installs and coltex update follow full releases (vX.Y.Z) only, so a pre-release is installed only when asked for with --version.
