latex-dev, pdflatex-dev, xelatex-dev, lualatex-dev, dvilualatex-dev, platex-dev, uplatex-dev - release

       These -dev executables are intended for testing upcoming LaTeX2e kernel changes. They correspond  to  new
       formats  which  have  been  tested  by  the  LaTeX  team  for stability and usability. Thus, they are not
       arbitrary development snapshots; more like release candidates.

       Wider testing by knowledgeable users is desired, indeed, is the main purpose  for  these  executables  to
       exist.  Simply  replacing the regular engine (e.g., pdflatex) with the -dev engine name (pdflatex-dev) is
       all that should be needed.

       The lualatex-dev format is based on luahbtex, the luatex variant with harfbuzz enabled for glyph shaping.

       Please report bugs in  these  -dev  versions,  like  all  LaTeX  releases,  following  the  procedure  at
       https://www.latex-project.org/bugs.
