There have been too many bugfixes, cleanups, and internal improvements to list everthing here, but the most visible changes in Texpad 1.8 are:

Redesigned UI

The first thing you will notice is the fresh UI. The new look sidebar now houses the outline, file browser, search, typeset output, todo list and Texpad Connect information in a single tabbed view. The popovers used in the Texpad 1.7 series were ephemeral, which made it difficult to use information contained by them whilst working. Now you can keep your search results, typeset errors, etc visible in the sidebar whilst you work on the document.

The PDF and Editor bars have been moved in line with the outline’s tab bar, and streamlined. This has made space for new features such as open in finder and path view on those bars. The per-project typeset configuration has also been redesigned, once again replacing an ephemeral popover with a fuller configuration sheet.

Many other aspects such as the welcome screen, preferences, about screen have been overhauled.

Live Typeset

Texpad is now bundled with TexpadTeX, an integrated version of LaTeX and Plain TeX that typesets documents in realtime as you type. Your document will update in the viewer continuously and near-instantaneously. Aside from vastly speeding up the type/edit cycle with your document, this lets you catch errors much quicker as they appear in the margin of the editor as soon as you make them.

TexpadTeX does not support all documents quite yet, for instance, we are still working on fontspec and hyperref. In these cases, Texpad will automatically switch out of Live mode to use an installed MacTeX installation, which is of course still available as before simply by flicking the switch.

Texpad Connect

Texpad Connect has been reengineered to be more useable and robust. Please try out the free plan by logging into texpad.com. There is simply no better way to collaborate on LaTeX documents. It’s especially fun to combine Texpad Connect with Live Typeset to see text being typed on one computer and appear on the PDF on another!

Misc. fixes in 1.8.1

• Crash when browsing Versions fixed
• Various autosense fixes
• Editor lag fixes
• Stopping sidebar table from jumping when content updates
• Memory usage fixes

Texpad 1.7 is our biggest update yet, in fact is more a new app than it is an update. We hope you like it, and as always, if you have any feedback, please let us know at support@vallettaventures.com.

Typesetting

Typesetting has been rewritten, streamlined and upgraded. CMD-B, CMD-I, CMD-L etc. have been dropped in favour of a single CMD-T, which should do the right thing in every situation, if it does not, we consider that a bug and we would like to hear about. That said, the auto-sense can be overridden and Texpad’s typesetting is more configurable than ever before. Additionally native support has been added for Sweave, Knitr, Plain TeX, ConteXt, etc.

• Automation
  • Typeset configuration deduced from your document including but not limited to indices(including glossaries, acronyms, etc.), shell escape, bibliography, Knitr, Plain TeX, BibTeX/Biber.
  • Texpad’s new Smart typesetting drops unnecessary typeset runs, which greatly speeds up typesetting.
  • Auto-Typeset uses the smart typesetter to update bibliographies and indices without losing any performance.
• New Typesetter UI
  • New configuration dropdown exposes the full typeset configuration per-document if you wish to override the Automatic typesetter.
  • The errors and log have been moved to a toolbar dropdown to stop them interfering with your PDF view, and we have added an indicator of typeset status on the toolbar itself.
• In addition to LaTeX, there is now builtin support for
  • Knitr/Sweave
  • Context
  • Plain TeX
• There is no need to save a document before typesetting. Paste a snippet of TeX into a new window, and typeset to a PDF without ever having to save it to disk.

Editor

• Edit multiple files side by side in the new tabbed editor.
• The new look toolbar is now collapsible, saving valuable screenspace on small laptops.
• New wrapping modes for the editor
  • Hanging indent
  • 80 character hardwrap
• New syntax highlighter
  • Fixes many issues with old highlighter such as dollar signs in begin/end verbatim.
  • Adds highlighting support for inline R, Sweave, Python, Lua, Haskell.
  • Highlighting support for R files from within Texpad.
• Spellcheck is LaTeX aware. LaTeX commands are now ignored by the Spell checker.
• New outline view
  • Document information displayed in the outline, e.g. Word Count.
  • Updates much faster than the 1.6.x outline.
  • In addition to original document structure view, there are now lists of Labels, Figures, Tables in the outline.
  • You can reference any outline item in your document by dragging and dropping it onto the editor.
  • Browse and manipulate project files from the outline.
  • The cursor position is indicated in realtime in the outline - you never need get lost again.
• Window configuration is persisted, your documents will pick up just as you left them.

• Share button on the toolbar, email a zip of your entire project directly from Texpad.
 Search

• Global Search

  • The Global search results have been moved to a dropdown to stop them interfering with your PDF view, and we refreshed the UI.
  • Regex support has been added to the global search.

• Jump to (new)

  • CMD-SHIFT-O will open the new jumpto window, type part of label, file, section, citation name and Texpad will jump the editor straight there.

PDF view

• New PDF toolbar
  • Zoom buttons have moved to the toolbar, and you can now click the percentage to alter it manually.
  • Page count added to the toolbar.
