For those who use LaTeX as part of their workflow, MacTeX 2020 has been released.
Major changes listed here are all low-level, though I’ve read there has been a big increase in compiling speed (although TeX has regular package updates through the year, big infrastructure changes make it into the annual one):
tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive- … .html#news
For users who want a smaller install, the BasicTeX package and info is found here:
tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html
tug.org/mactex/BasicTeX.pdf
And if you are lazy, homebrew can install and update BasicTeX for you:
brew cask install basictex
I always use the small package, and then install extra packages with tlmgr or TeX-Live-Utility as needed, at least for the Pandoc templates theses should be:
sudo tlmgr install lm-math lualatex-math luatexja abstract \
latexmk csquotes pagecolor relsize ucharcat mdframed needspace sectsty \
titling titlesec preprint layouts glossaries tabulary soul xargs todonotes \
mfirstuc xfor wallpaper datatool substr ctablestack ifetex adjustbox collectbox \
