The (hopefully) final pre-release version for the 2025-06-01 LaTeX kernel went to CTAN over the weekend. It’s now available for testing in TeX Live, and we’d like to encourage everyone to try it out.

The focus has been mainly on improving tagging further, with work particularly on verbatim material and further socket refinement. We’ve also added tagging support for more graphics, most notable TikZ. There’s also been some support work for taggable presentations (more on that perhaps next time!).

For full details of all of the changes planned for 2025-06-01, see the draft LaTeX News 41.

Enjoy — Joseph
