Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream 
release, TeX Live 2017.

TeX Live provides a comprehensive, cross-platform TeX system.  It 
includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts 
that are free software, including support for many languages around the 
world.  For more information, see

   http://www.tug.org/texlive/

And see

   http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#news

for a list of changes since TeX Live 2016.

The TeX Live executables and supporting libraries are contained in the 
following Cygwin packages:

* texlive-20170520-1

* libkpathsea6-20170520-1
* libkpathsea-devel-20170520-1

libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library.

* libptexenc1-20170520-1
* libptexenc-devel-20170520-1

libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library.

* libsync1-20170520-1
* libsync-devel-20170520-1

libsync is a TeX source/output synchronization library.

* libtexlua52_5-20170520-1
* libtexlua52-devel-20170520-1

libtexlua52 is a TeX lua scripting library.

* libtexluajit2-20170520-1
* libtexluajit-devel-20170520-1

libtexluajit is a TeX Just-In-Time lua compiler library.

* asymptote-2.41-1

Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for 
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like 
syntax.  Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality 
typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.

In addition, upstream TeX Live provides thousands of "packages", grouped 
into "collections".  There is a Cygwin package for each upstream 
collection; there are also Cygwin packages containing documentation for 
some of the collections.

* texlive-collection-xetex-doc-20170520-1

There has been some (upstream) rearrangement of the collections since 
the previous release:

  - The langafrican and langindic collections have been absorbed by 
langother.

  - The omega collection has been absorbed by formatsextra.

  - The plainextra, genericrecommended, and genericextra collections 
have merged into a new collection, plaingeneric.

  - The htmlxml collection has been removed.  Its constituent upstream 
packages have been moved into other collections, as follows:

    jadetex, passivetex, xmltex, xmltexconfig --> formatsextra
    classpack --> latexextra
    lwarp --> latexrecommended
    tex4ht --> plaingeneric

The bibtexextra collection is marked as a test release because it 
includes biblatex-3.7; the latter is designed to work with biber-2.7, 
which is not yet available in the Cygwin distribution because it 
requires at least perl-5.24.  I will update biber to 2.7 as soon as 
Cygwin's perl is updated, probably in about a month.


Recommendations
===============
Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge 
and can take a long time to install.  If you're not sure what you need, 
here are some possible ways to start:

Minimal: Install texlive and its dependencies.  This provides plain TeX 
but not LaTeX.

Basic: Install texlive-collection-latex and its dependencies.  This is a 
minimal installation with LaTeX.

Small: Install texlive-collection-latexrecommended and its dependencies. 
  This provides the most commonly used non-graphics LaTeX packages. 
Install texlive-collection-pictures if you want the standard graphics 
packages too.

Medium: Install texlive-collection-binextra, texlive-collection-context, 
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended, texlive-collection-fontutils, 
texlive-collection-latexrecommended, texlive-collection-luatex, 
texlive-collection-mathscience, texlive-collection-metapost, 
texlive-collection-plaingeneric, and texlive-collection-xetex.

Fontconfig
==========
There is a script /usr/bin/texlive-enable-fontconfig that you can run if 
you want the fonts distributed with TeX Live to be available to 
applications that rely on fontconfig.  See 
/usr/share/doc/texlive/README.Cygwin for more details.  (The script can 
take a few minutes to run, so be patient.)

tlmgr
=====
texlive-collection-basic includes a restricted version of the tlmgr (TeX 
Live Manager) utility.  See 
/usr/share/doc/texlive-collection-basic/README.Cygwin for more details.
