Texpad 1.7 Beta

Texpad 1.7 is more a new app than an update. We implemented all the common feature requests we received during the first 2 years of Texpad's existence, upgraded the internals to make it faster, more stable and easier to develop, as well as streamlining the user interface to make Texpad easier to work with.

Testing has been a priority throughout the 1.7 rewrite, so despite the vast number of changes we are more confident in Texpad's stability than ever before. That said, this is a beta copy, so as always we ask those using it to keep regular backups when using it for current work.

Feedback

We are grateful to anyone who is willing to Beta Test, the feedback we receive during these periods allows us to fix any bugs, smooth any UI wrinkles before release. We cannot accommodate many feature requests during a Beta period, but these will go on the list for the next update.

If you wish to communicate beta problems, please email texpad@vallettaventures.com rather than the usual support email. Screenshots are almost always helpful when understanding issues(CMD-SHIFT-4), and if you are reporting a bug then please let us know what Operating System and hardware you are using, along with a crash report if appropriate. If the problem is with a specific document, then it can often save time if we can see that example document.

Please be sure that you have updated to the latest version of Texpad, and let us know what version your feedback refers to.

Please note that this is quite deliberately named differently to the usual Texpad binary so that you can use them side by side. The version number has been set at 1.6.100, and it will monotonically increase during the beta period.

Please be sure to stay up to date with the Beta copies, we will upload fixes and improvements every few days throughout the beta period until it is ready for release.

Changes

Below is a non-exhaustive list of the changes made in Texpad 1.7.

Typesetting

Typesetting has been rewritten, streamlined and upgraded. CMD-B, CMD-I, CMD-L etc. have been dropped in favour of a single CMD-T, which should do the right thing in every situation, if it does not, we consider that a bug and we would like to hear about. That said, the auto-sense can be overridden and Texpad's typesetting is more configurable than ever before. Additionally native support has been added for Sweave, Knitr, Plain TeX, ConteXt, etc.
