mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Michael Shea <address@hidden>]

Well I must say I am a little disappointed with this release.  While I am happy with the program as is, since this is a major version number release, I expected there to be major feature updates and was excited to explore them. I went straight to the changelog only to find the only difference listed between 2.1 and 1.99.21 was "Minor Bug Fixes".  

It seems like the choice of the version release number might be related to the publicity push for TeXmacs, and I am fine with that. TeXmacs is such an awesome program I certainly wish it had wider distribution. I have some ideas on how to generate publicity and foster wider distribution. I also think that TeXmacs has the potential to revolutionize math education at the secondary and undergraduate level. I will start to share these ideas soon with the list. 

Cheers,

Michael Shea

Dear colleague,

We are happy to announce the release of GNU TeXmacs 2.1,
a free scientific office suite that you may download from

    https://www.texmacs.org

The core of the system is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get
structured text editor with support for mathematical formulas.
For a short overview, you may watch the following teaser (3:40):

TeXmacs is unique in its ability to produce documents with
the highest typographical quality using a user friendly interface.
The software also comes with an integrated presentation tool,
a picture editor, version control, a bibliography tool,
interfaces to various mathematical computation systems,
and much more...  GNU TeXmacs is not based on TeX/LaTeX,
but comes with high quality converters from and to LaTeX,
as well as Html/MathML/MathJax.

In order to get started with TeXmacs, we recommend that
you watch one or more of our introductory videos:

    https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/home/videos.en.html

The software provides integrated documentation and a manual
that can be downloaded from

    https://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/help/book.en.html

A new book about TeXmacs is available here:

For further questions, don't hesitate to ask on one of
our mailing lists or on the TeXmacs forum.

With our best regards,

The TeXmacs team
