+- the eTeX extensions can now be enabled with the cmdline switch -etex
+- pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.01
+
+-------------------------------------------------
+pdfTeX 3.141592-1.30.0 was released on 2005-08-01
+-------------------------------------------------
+- pdfxtex (introduced with 1.20a) is gone; all extensions are now in pdf(e)tex.
+- Some primitives have been renamed; the old names will still work, but are
+ deprecated and some give a warning that they are obsolete:
+ \pdfoptionpdfminorversion -> \pdfminorversion
+ \pdfoptionalwaysusepdfpagebox -> \pdfforcepagebox
+ \pdfoptionpdfinclusionerrorlevel -> \pdfinclusionerrorlevel
+- pdftex knows two new units:
+ - new Didot (1nd=0.375mm)
+ - new Cicero (1nc=12nd)
+- New primitives:
+ - Inclusion of pngs has been greatly improved: It now does
+ - alpha channel and transparency (only if %!PDF >=1.4)
+ - 16-bit colour (only if %!PDF >=1.5); this must be enabled by setting
+ \pdfimagehicolor to 1.
+ - gamma correction; this must be enabled by setting \pdfimageapplygamma to
+ 1. The device gamma is taken from \pdfgamma. If no embedded value can be
+ found in the png image, then the value of \pdfimagegamma is used instead.
+ - fast direct embedding of png streams, if their structure allows this; the
+ automatic fall-back is to decompress and re-compress as before.
+ - pdfTeX now has an interface to the precise system time (if available) as an
+ aid in benchmarking TeX macro code.
+ - \pdfelapsedtime is a read-only integer that (initially) returns the
+ amount of time passed since the start of this run. This amount is given
+ in `scaled seconds': the value 65536 counts as one second. If more time
+ has passed than 32767 seconds, (2^31)-1 will be returned.
+ - \pdfresettimer updates the internal timer, such that subsequent calls to
+ \pdfelapsedtime will restart from 0.
+ - pdfTeX can now generate random numbers:
+ - \pdfuniformdeviate <count> generates a uniformly distributed random
+ integer value between 0 (inclusive) and <count> (exclusive).
+ - \pdfnormaldeviate expands to a random integer value with a mean of 0 and
+ a unit of 65536.
+ - \pdfrandomseed allows access to the current seed value.
+ - \pdfsetrandomseed <count> sets the random seed to a specific value.
+ - \pdfnoligatures\f disables ligatures for the loaded font \f.
+ - Escaping strings:
+ - \pdfescapestring{<a>} escapes the string <a> so that it can be used as
+ PDF string.
+ - \pdfescapename{<a>} escapes the string <a> so that it can be used as PDF
+ name.
+ - \pdfescapehex{<a>} converts the string <a> to uppercase hexadecimal
+ representation.
+ - \pdfunescapehex{<b>} reverses the effect of \pdfescapehex
+ - \pdfcreationdate expands to the date string that pdfTeX uses in the info
+ dict as default.
+ - \pdffilemoddate{<file>} expands to the modification date of <file> in the
+ same format as \pdfcreationdate (PDF date format).
+ - \pdffilesize{<file>} expands to the size of <file> as string.
+ - \pdfmdfivesum{<abc>} or \pdfmdfivesum file {<file>} calculates the md5
+ sum (of a string or a file) and converts it to uppercase hexadecimal format
+ (same as \pdfescapehex).
+ - \pdffiledump [offset <int>] [length <int>] <general text>
+ Expands to a hex dump of the file given in <general text>, starting at
+ given offset or 0 with given length.
+ - \pdfshellescape is a read-only integer that is 1 if \write18 is enabled, 0
+ otherwise.
+ - \pdfxformname <object number>, which expands to the number in the
+ corresponding form XObject name.
+ - \leftmarginkern <box number> and \rightmarginkern <box number> tell the
+ margin kern at the left and right side of the horizontal list stored in box
+ <box number>.
+ - \pdfpkmode is a token register that sets the MF mode for pixel font
+ generation. The contents of this register is dumped into the format, so one
+ can (optionally) preset it e.g. in part of pdftexconfig.tex.
+ - \pdftracingfonts: An integer variable controlling the tracing of font
+ expansion. It is zero by default; then we get a log (with fontexpansion)
+ like this
+ ...\tenrm t
+ ...\tenrm (+20) e
+ Without font expansion, this default should be compatible with TeX's
+ original log output.
+ If \pdftracingfonts is set to 1 (or greater), we get a more verbose log:
+ ...\xivtt (cmtt10@14.0pt) t
+ ...\xivtt (cmtt10+20@14.0pt) e
+ See also bug 304.
+- New experimental primitives:
+ - \pdfmatch [icase] [subcount <number>}] {<pattern>}{<string>}
+ Implements pattern matching using the POSIX regex.
+ It returns the same values as \pdfstrcmp, but with the following semantics:
+ -1: error case (invalid pattern, ...)
+ 0: no match
+ 1: match found
+ Options:
+ * icase: case insensitive matching
+ * subcount: it sets the table size for found subpatterns.
+ A number "-1" resets the table size to the start default.
+ - \pdflastmatch <number>
+ The result of \pdfmatch is stored in an array. The entry "0" contains the
+ match, the following entries submatches. The positions of the matches are
+ also available. They are encoded:
+ <position> "->" <match string>
+ The position "-1" with an empty string indicates that this entry is not
+ set.
+ - \pdfstrcmp{<a>}{<b>} compares two strings and returns the strings "0" if
+ <a> equals <b>, "-1" if <a> is less than <b>, "1" if <a> is greater than
+ <b>
+- The primitive \pdfmovechars has been removed (bug 294)
+- Bugfixes:
+ - empty strings are not supressed anymore (bug 335)
+ - \unhboxing and character protusion didn't work well together (bug 292)
+ - --jobname didn't work if there was no filename at all (bug 302)
+ - Some problem with fonts on solaris (bug 315)
+ - Dangling font objects with non-replacable fonts (bug 311).
+ - \pdfxform didn't work with box>255 (bug 310)
+ - cmap: unicode ???? is mapped to multiple glyphs (bug 306).
+- pdfTeX uses zlib 1.2.3
+
+------------------------------------------------
+pdfTeX 3.141592-1.21a was released on 2005-02-04
+------------------------------------------------
+- ttf2afm 1.0:
+ - added support for refering to glyphs via unicode in encoding files (ie 'uniXXX')
+ - added some more info to the AFM output
+ - some minor bug fixes
+ - a short documentation available
+- pdftex now understand forms 'uniXXXX' in encoding files (only makes sense
+ with TrueType fonts)
+- added subset tag for TrueType fonts
+- PDF strings are now printed as following:
+ (This is a string) -> (This is a string)
+ This is a string -> (This is a string)
+ <a1b245c1a2...> -> <a1b245c1a2...>
+- check for double newline char to get rid of empty lines in PDF output
+- Fixed a bug in the scanning of map lines introduced in the fix of bug #242 in
+ 1.20b.
+- Fixed three problems in xpdf; xpdf is now 3.00pl3
+- \ifeof18 is a simple method to test if \write18 is enabled.
+- a few extensions in pdfxtex:
+ - \pdflastximagecolordepth returns the last color depth
+ - \pdfximage supports a keyword "colorspace" following an object number
+ representing a ColorSpace object
+ - \pdfstrcmp compares two strings
+ - \pdfescapestring/\pdflastescapedstring provide a way to escape string
+ - \pdffirstlineheight/\pdflastlinedepth/\pdfeachlineheight/\pdfeachlinedepth
+ allow fixing line dimen
+ - patches from Taco
+ - px dimen unit
+ - tagcode patch
+ - quitvmode patch
+
+------------------------------------------------
+pdfTeX 3.141592-1.20b was released on 2004-12-22
+------------------------------------------------
+- Fixed some minor bugs, mostly with hz
+- The info line "output format initialized to PDF/DVI" isn't shown anymore, as
+ this info wasn't reliable (bug 112).
+- Now the PDF-related statistics (PDF objects...) in the .log file is only
+ shown in PDF output mode. It start with a line "PDF statistics:".
+- \pdfimageresolution is not limited to 2400 [dpi] anymore, can now be between
+ 0 and 65535 [dpi].
+- pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.00pl2
+- pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.8, which fixes some png-related bugs.
+
+------------------------------------------------
+pdfTeX 3.141592-1.20a was released on 2004-09-06
+------------------------------------------------
+- There is a new program pdfxtex, which contains experimental features which
+ might end up in pdftex in the future.
+- Most distributions now use eTeX as the default engine, so when you call
+ pdftex you will get pdfeTeX. Most distributions now also use pdfTeX as the
+ default engine, so when you call latex you will get pdfeTeX running LaTeX.:-)
+- We are setting up pdfTeX as a project at sarovar
+ (http://sarovar.org/projects/pdftex/). Please report bugs etc. through the
+ site.
+- Support for the file pdftex.cfg is gone completely. All parameters that had
+ previously been set by it can be set through primitives; their values are
+ dumped to the format file.
+- The searchpath for encoding and mapfiles has been changed.
+ See http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2004-January/004734.html and
+ http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2004-January/004791.html
+- eTeX is now version 2.2, incorporating the last changes to TeX (3.141592).
+- New options for \pdfmapfile:
+ General functionality: Map items (map files, new: also single map lines; see
+ \pdfmapline) are put in list of pending map items. During the next shipout,
+ pending map items are sequentially scanned for their map entries, and an
+ internal map entry database is updated, using the modes below. Then the list
+ of pending map items is cleared. Map entries of fonts already in use are left
+ untouched. New: All \pdfmapfile and \pdfmapline commands can also be given
+ after shipout of the first page.
+ - \pdfmapfile {foo.map} clears the list of pending map items and starts a new
+ list with the only pending file foo.map. When the map entry lines of
+ foo.map are scanned, duplicate map entries are ignored and a warning is
+ issued. This is the old behaviour.
+ - \pdfmapfile {+foo.map} puts foo.map in the list of pending map items. When
+ the map entry lines of foo.map are scanned, duplicate map entries are
+ ignored and a warning is issued.
+ - \pdfmapfile {=foo.map} puts foo.map in the list of pending map items. When
+ foo.map is scanned, matching map entries in database are replaced by new
+ entries from foo.map.
+ - \pdfmapfile {-foo.map} puts foo.map in the list of pending map items. When
+ foo.map is scanned, matching map entries are deleted from database.
+ - \pdfmapfile {} clears the list of pending map items. It does not affect map
+ entries already registered into the database. This is the old behaviour.
+- New command \pdfmapline {line}. It's like \pdfmapfile but here you can set
+ single map lines like in the map files directly. The modifiers (+-=) have the
+ same effect as with \pdfmapfile.
+- Simplified the handling of the 14 Type 1 "standard fonts" (Times,
+ Helvetica...): They are now more or less handled like any other Type 1 font.
+ See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2004-July/000648.html
+- hz: So far the font expansion feature required that the user must be able to
+ create expanded tfms (eg cmr10+10.tfm). Now font expansion can be used
+ without creating these tfms.
+ See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2004-May/000504.html
+- hz: Changed \pdffontexpand primitive --> the expand factor is now fixed to
+ 1000 and the argument is ignored. This will lead to spurious texts of "1000"
+ in your output if you compile old documents.
+- New command \pdftexbanner which returns a string with the full banner of the
+ current binary (e.g. "This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a (Web2C 7.5.3)
+ kpathsea version 3.5.3")
+- The PTEX.FullBanner key is now inserted in the document info dict instead of
+ the catalog. Newer versions of Acrobat display it.
+- Now includes support for encTeX.
+- Extended \pdfannot to use reserveobjnum/useobjnum
+ See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2004-March/000424.html
+- Bugfix: pdfTeX would read an .xpdfrc when including pdfs.
+ See http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2004-March/004835.html
+- Bugfix: The strings in /ID would sometimes be empty.
+- Bugfix: Even when mapfiles or encodings or PostScript font files were
+ missing, pdfTeX still produced a (most often corrupt) pdf. Now it aborts with
+ an error in these cases.
+- numerous small bugfixes.
+- pdfTeX now uses the GNU libavl from Ben Pfaff for managing of fontmap
+ entries.
+- pdfTeX uses zlib 1.2.1
+- pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.00
+- pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.7
+
+------------------------------------------------
+pdfTeX 3.141592-1.11b was released on 2003-10-06
+------------------------------------------------
+- Bugfix: The handling of /Rotate produced displaced images when /Rotate was 90
+ or 270.
+
+------------------------------------------------
+pdfTeX 3.141592-1.11a was released on 2003-08-02
+------------------------------------------------
+- New command \pdftrailer analogue to \pdfcatalog whose argument ends up in the
+ trailer dictionary.
+- The behaviour when an included pdf has a newer version than the one specified
+ with \pdfoptionpdfminorversion can be controlled by the new internal integer
+ \pdfoptionpdfinclusionerrorlevel: If it's 0, pdfTeX gives only a warning; if
+ it's 1, it raises an error.
+ This can also be set in pdftex.cfg with pdf_inclusion_errorlevel
+- The syntax for outlines has been extended to allow attributes:
+ <outline spec> --> <attr spec> <action spec> [count <number>] <general text>
+ See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2003-June/000165.html
+- The syntax of \pdfobj has been extended:
+ \pdfobj <object type spec> (h, v, m)
+ <object type spec> --> reserveobjnum
+ | [useobjnum <number>] [<attr spec>] [stream [<attr spec>]] <object contents>
+ <object contents> --> <file spec>
+ | <general text>
+ When the optional keyword `reserveobjnum' and `useobjnum' is not given, the
+ behaviour is unchanged.
+ See also http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/pdftex/2003-March/003814.html
+- Bugfix: /CreationDate didn't care for the timezone and could be fooled.
+ See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2003-July/000223.html
+- Bugfix: The translation of 8-bit characters in included pdfs that had their
+ eighth bit set sometimes got wrong because of a missing typecast.
+ See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2003-July/000216.html
+- Bugfix: pdfTeX -ini would crash with a minimal file because it didn't read
+ it's config and so didn't know anything about fonts.
+ See http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-July/004262.html
+- Bugfix: \pdfstartlink would produce spurious /NewWindow entries. Also the
+ syntax of <action spec> and <goto-action spec> has been cleaned up.
+ See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2003-June/000167.html
+- Bugfix: \pdffontattr was not used for T3 fonts.
+ See http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-June/004127.html
+- Bugfix: The cropbox of an included pdf would sometimes not be used.
+ See http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-May/004037.html
+- pdfTeX uses xpdf 2.02
+
+------------------------------------------------
+pdfTeX 3.141592-1.10b was released on 2003-02-26
+------------------------------------------------
+- The numbers in transformation matrices are allways written with maximum
+ precision (see http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-February/003596.html).
+- Incorporated the new version of TeX: 3.141592
+- Bugfix: Numbers in pdfs would sometimes be just a wee bit of (changed
+ implementation of pdftoepdf.convertNumToPDF).
+- Bugfix: When setting the /Producer, /Creator or /CreationDate keys with
+ /pdfinfo pdfTeX would also insert default values which caused duplicate keys
+ in the info dict (see
+ http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-February/003524.html).
+- The reading of mapfiles is much faster (see
+ http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2002-July/002843.html).
+- Bugfix: AR5 had problems with the CTM when displaying in "fit visible" mode
+ (see http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2002-May/002688.html).
+- Bugfix: str_in_str had wrong indices (see
+ http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2002-March/002367.html).
+- Bugfix: decimal_digits defaulted to 0, which caused problems with included
+ images when including pdfs (see
+ http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-February/003518.html).
+ It now defaults to 4.
+- Bugfix: the type of included images was decided based only on the extensions;
+ now pdfTeX looks for magic bytes at the start of files (see
+ http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-February/003519.html)
+
+-----------------------------------------------
+pdfTeX 3.14159-1.10a was released on 2003-01-16
+-----------------------------------------------
+- pdfTeX is now able to produce pdf1.4 (which is also the default) and has
+ almost complete support for including pdf1.4 files:
+ - Additional attributes like MetaData are copied from included pdfs.
+ - Currently the Page Group attribute (see sections 7.3.6 and 7.5.5 of the pdf
+ 1.4 reference) of included pdfs is NOT copied (as we don't know how to
+ handle this when imposing pdfs).
+ This means including pdfs with transparency features will work as long as
+ the included pdf doesn't use Page Groups; if it does, the result might not
+ be what is expected (One application known to use Page Groups is Adobe
+ Illustrator v9++). The distributed pdfTeX binaries will give a warning
+ about any occurance of a Page Group in an included pdf and ignore the Page
+ Group (thus producing syntactically correct pdfs but probably not the
+ intended output).
+ Acrobat 5++ and newer versions of Jaws display files without Page Groups
+ correctly, so this might not really be a problem.
+ See pdftoepdf.cc for preprocessor flags which allow this behaviour to be
+ changed (copying the Page Group (most likely producing incorrect pdf) or
+ treating Page Groups as errors).
+- The new primitive \pdfoptionpdfminorversion sets the pdf version of the
+ generated file and the latest allowed pdf version of included pdfs:
+ \pdfoptionpdfminorversion=3
+ tells pdfTeX to set the pdf version to 1.3 and allows only included pdfs with
+ versions <= 1.3 .
+ The default for \pdfoptionpdfminorversion is 4 for pdf 1.4
+ This must appear before any data is written to the generated pdf file, so
+ you should put it at the very start of your files.
+ This can also be set in pdftex.cfg with pdf_minorversion
+- It is now possible to specify the pdf page box to use when including pdfs.
+ The syntax has been extended:
+ \pdfximage [<image attr spec>] <general text> (h, v, m)
+ <image attr spec> --> [<rule spec>] [<attr spec>] [<page spec>] [<pdf box spec>]
+ <pdf box spec> --> mediabox|cropbox|bleedbox|trimbox|artbox
+ The default is cropbox (which defaults to mediabox), to be compatible with
+ previous versions of pdfTeX.
+ The page box specified at \pdfximage can be globally overridden with the
+ config parameter always_use_pdfpagebox and the command
+ \pdfoptionalwaysusepdfpagebox <integer>, where 0 is the default (use whatever
+ is specified with \pdfximage), 1 is media, 2 is crop, 3 is bleed, 4 is trim
+ and 5 is artbox. This can only be set once per object, i.e. the value used at
+ \pdfximage is remembered.
+ See the pdf reference for an explanation of the boxes.
+- The support for the inclusion of jpeg images has been extended to allow the
+ inclusion of JPEG/Exif files which are produced by digital photo cameras
+ (thanks to Hartmut Henkel).
+- The support for the inclusion of tif images has been removed as it was of
+ limited use (it worked only for gray-scale and rgb images) and produced wrong
+ results (all other images types where treated as rgb images).
+ Tif images can be converted on *nix on-the-fly to pngs with the help of
+ ImageMagick, epstopdf.sty or pdftex.def v0.4 or newer, and this rule:
+ \DeclareGraphicsRule{.tif}{png}{.png}{`convert #1 `basename #1 .tif`.png}
+- The extensions for pdf encryption have been removed, since they make the
+ pdfTeX code overly complex. Those needing pdf encryption are encouraged to
+ produce a standalone program for encrypting pdfs.
+- pdfTeX now writes a usage statistic about the pdfTeX specific memory to the
+ log.
+- numerous bugfixes, most of them in the inclusion of pdfs.
+- pdfTeX uses xpdf 2.01
+- pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.5
