TeXmacs 2.1.2 – why no references on http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/macosx.en.html and other issues

Dear Texmacs developers,

TeXmacs 2.1.2 seems to be out now — I downloaded it the other day from https://ftp.texmacs.org/pub/TeXmacs/tmftp/macos/ after repeatedly failing to upgrade from a booting Texmacs 2,1.1  under OS X 13.6/15.7. However this release raises some questions.

  1. Why didn’t the upgrade from within 2.1.1 not work.
  2. Why has the release of 2.1.2 not been made public on http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/macosx.en.html?
  3. Unfortunately, in this build as of 2022.05-05 the TeXmacs changelog doesn’t mention any changes from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 which imho would have been quite helpful.

As far as I can tell after working on some tm-files the latest OS X version seems to be running fairly smoothly. Yet regrettably some critical issues are still not fixed, e.g.

  1. The gui still erratically zooms in and out while copying and pasting.
  2. The version of gs that ships with 2.1.2 is still flawed despite the fact I filed a bug report to Savannah as in early February. (See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61991)

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely 
Tilda A. Steiner
