Switch to texlive2023 #49

Closed kmccurley closed 3 days ago

kmccurley commented 11 months ago

It appears we should switch to texlive2023. The tests now work on that platform, and there are some bug fixes that have been folded in. I also came across a TCC paper that uses easytable.sty that does not exist in texlive2022. Note that overleaf switched to texlive in august and september in the last two years (it takes them that long to test and be confident in it). The mentioned two problems in their blog including the fact that pdflatex+utf8x no longer work. utf8x is outdated anyway.

I actually changed to texlive 2024. overleaf has done the same and flagged a few possible problems in their blog. This will be an ongoing problem with each new version of texlive that we switch to. overleaf provides authors with the ability to select a version of texlive, and we could do the same thing by using different docker images and allowing the author to select it. I'm not inclined to incur such complexity but we could try it if authors encounter conflicts in the future.
