I've been subscribed to the mactex mailing list for a while now, but<br>
I must be missing something. How do I get this beta?<br>

Are you sure you're not subscribed to the "TeX on Mac OS X" mailing list, or whatever it's called? :) I looked for something like your email in the subscribers list and didn't see anything similar.<br>
<br>
The MacTeX list is very low traffic and deals primary with new versions of TeX software that need testing or whatever.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

Yep.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

Now, apart from that, am I correct that all textmate would need to do<br>
once it detects the presence of synctex, is to signal to the viewer<br>
in the exact same way that it did for pdfsync?<br>

I haven't looked into the details but I'm pretty sure the syntax would be similar if not identical. One minor change is that the sync file is now gz-compressed to save some bytes. Otherwise, I suspect there might be other minimal changes resulting from the fact that the engine itself is generating this data rather than LaTeX macros.<br>

Hope this helps,<br><font color="#888888">
