Log message:
texlive: update to 2020
General:
* The \input primitive in all TeX engines, including tex, now also accepts a
group-delimited filename argument, as a system-dependent extension. The usage
with a standard space/token-delimited filename is completely unchanged. The
group-delimited argument was previously implemented in LuaTeX; now it is available
in all engines. ASCII double quote characters (") are removed from the \
filename,
but it is otherwise left unchanged after tokenization. This does not currently
affect LaTeX’s \input command, as that is a macro redefinition of the standard
\input primitive.
* New option –cnf-line for kpsewhich, tex, mf, and all other engines, to support
arbitrary configuration settings on the command line.
* The addition of various primitives to various engines in this and previous years
is intended to result in a common set of functionality available across
all engines.
epTeX, eupTeX: New primitives \Uchar, \Ucharcat, \current(x)spacingmode, \ifincsname;
revise \fontchar?? and \iffontchar. For eupTeX only: \currentcjktoken.
LuaTeX: Integration with HarfBuzz library, available as new engines luahbtex
(used for lualatex) and luajithbtex. New primitives: \eTeXgluestretchorder,
\eTeXglueshrinkorder.
pdfTeX: New primitive \pdfmajorversion; this merely changes the version number
in the PDF output; it has no effect on any PDF content. \pdfximage and similar
now search for image files in the same way as \openin.
pTeX: New primitives \ifjfont, \iftfont. Also in epTeX, upTeX, eupTeX.
XeTeX: Fixes for \Umathchardef, \XeTeXinterchartoks, \pdfsavepos.
Dvips: Output encodings for bitmap fonts, for better copy/paste capabilities.

Log message:
all: migrate several HOMEPAGEs to https
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.

texlive: updated to 20190410
20190410:
Kpathsea: More consistent brace expansion and path splitting; new variable \
TEXMFDOTDIR instead of hard-coded . in paths allows for easily searching \
additional or sub-directories (see comments in texmf.cnf).
epTEX, eupTEX: New primitives \readpapersizespecial and \expanded.
LuaTEX: Lua 5.3 now used, with concomitant arithmetic and interface changes. The \
homegrown library pplib is used to read pdf files, thus eliminating the \
dependency on poppler (and the need for C++); Lua interface changed accordingly.
MetaPost: r-mpost command name recognized as an alias for invocation with the \
–restricted option, and added to the list of restricted commands available by \
default. Minimum precision now 2 for decimal and binary mode. Binary mode no \
longer available in MPlib but still available in standalone MetaPost.
pdfTEX: New primitive \expanded; if new primitive parameter \pdfomitcharset is \
set to 1, the /CharSet string omitted from the PDF output, since it cannot \
feasibly be guaranteed correct, as required by PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3.
XeTEX: New primitives \expanded, \creationdate, \elapsedtime, \filedump, \
\filemoddate, \filesize, \resettimer, \normaldeviate, \uniformdeviate, \
\randomseed; extend \Ucharcat to produce active characters.
tlmgr: Support curl as a download program; use lz4 and gzip before xz for local \
backups, if available; prefer system-provided binaries over binaries provided \
with TEX Live for compressor and download programs, unless the environment \
variable TEXLIVE_PREFER_OWN is set.
install-tl: New option -gui (with no argument) is the default on Windows and \
Macs, and invokes a new Tcl/TK GUI (see sections 1.3 and 3.1.6).
Utilities:
cwebbin (https://ctan.org/pkg/cwebbin) is now the CWEB implementation in TEX \
Live, with support for more language dialects, and including the ctwill program \
to make mini-indexes.
chkdvifont: report font information from DVI files, also from tfm/ofm, vf, gf, pk.
dvispc: make a DVI file page-independent with respect to specials.
MacTEX: x86_64-darwin now supports 10.12 and higher (Sierra, High Sierra, \
Mojave); x86_64-darwinlegacy still supports 10.6 and newer. The spell checker \
Excalibur is no longer included, since it requires 32-bit support.
Platforms: removed sparc-solaris.
