A major update with some long-requested features and a milestone for the project: TeXposit is now open source.

Change notes for update build 260301-b80b82c4b

  • LaTeX command database: The editor now has autocomplete for over 6,000 LaTeX commands sourced from TeXstudio's package data. Each suggestion shows which package it requires.
  • Package-aware verification: If you use a command without importing its package, the editor will highlight it with an informational underline.
  • LaTeX verification suite: Added automated checks for brace matching, undefined labels, missing package imports, citation consistency, and style issues. These run after AI edits and are available on demand.
  • SyncTeX support: Click anywhere in the PDF to jump to the corresponding source line, and use the editor shortcut to jump to the matching PDF position.
  • BibTeX tidy: A new option in the bibliography panel automatically tidies and reformats your .bib file.
  • Citation search via OpenAlex: Citation search now uses the OpenAlex database for broader academic coverage.
  • Compilation sandboxing: LaTeX compilation now runs in an isolated environment with resource limits, improving security and stability.
  • Task session workflow: The AI assistant can now break large requests into structured tasks, tracking each step and reporting progress in the chat panel.
  • Chat session titles: Chat sessions are automatically given a descriptive title after the second message.
