5.4 Casefolding search
======================

In Kpathsea version 6.3.0 (released with TeX Live 2018), a new fallback
search was implemented on Unix-like systems, including Macs: for each
path element in turn, if no match is found by the normal search, and the
path element allows for checking the filesystem, a second check is made
for a case-insensitive match.

   This is enabled at compile-time on Unix systems, and enabled at
runtime by setting the configuration variable 'texmf_casefold_search',
to a true value, e.g., '1'; this is done by default in TeX Live.
