-- changes:
- - new primitives \pdfrunninglinkoff and \pdfrunninglinkon; e.g., for
- turning off generation of links in headers and footers.
- - warn instead of aborting when "\pdfendlink ended up in
- different nesting level than \pdfstartlink".
- - dump \pdfglyphtounicode assignments in fmt file.
- - ttf2afm outputs name information.
-
-- bugfixes:
- - avoid crash in unusual autoexpand cases.
-
-- source: poppler support removed, as it was too hard to keep in sync
- with upstream. For native TL, pdftex has always used libs/xpdf,
- which is cut-down and adapted code from xpdf.
-
-pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020) (March 27, 2020)
-- changes:
- - new primitive \pdfmajorversion; this merely changes the version
- number in the PDF output, has no effect on PDF content.
- - have \pdfximage etc. do same search for image files as for input files,
- - new \input{...} group-delimited syntax (cross-engine).
- - new option --cnf-line (cross-engine).
- - (un)compress .fmt files with zlib (cross-engine).
-
-pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019)
-- changes:
- - new primitive \expanded (from unreleased pdftex 1.50 branch + luatex).
- - new primitive parameter \pdfmajorversion; 1 by default, but can be
- set to any positive integer; affects only the %PDF- line.
- - new primitive parameter \pdfomitcharset; zero by default to include
- the /CharSet value from the PDF output as usual; setting to 1 omits
- it, since it cannot feasibly be guaranteed correct as the PDF/A-2
- and /A-3 standards require.
-
-pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (TeX Live 2018) (April 14, 2018)
-- changes:
- - do not hash current directory into PDF ID, for more reproducible builds
- (pdftex r782).
- - allow encoding vectors for bitmap PK fonts (r790).
- - when a non-PDF special is ignored, output a (leading substring of the)
- special, preceded by "<special> ".
-
-- bugfixes:
- - \pdfprimitive does nothing, rather than give an error, when given a
- non-primitive (pdftex r784).
- - \pdfprimitive does not swallow a following control sequence (pdftex r784).
- - \ifpdfprimitive now correctly returns true for "\ " (TL r45394).
- - \pdfglyphtounicode now warns if the argument is outside the valid
- range for Unicode; the implication is that multiple code points must
- now be separated by spaces (as has always been documented).
-
-- source: support xpdf-4 by default, or xpdf-3.04, via #defines.
-
----------------------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017) (April 27, 2017)
-- changes:
- - rename envvar SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH_TEX_PRIMITIVES to FORCE_SOURCE_DATE;
- no changes in functionality.
- - if the \pdfpageattr token list contains the string "/MediaBox",
- omitting output of the default /MediaBox.
-
-- bugfixes:
- - \pdflastmatch more reliable when there was no match.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.17 (TeX Live 2016) (May 20, 2016)
-- changes:
- - if the environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, use its value for
- the PDF CreationDate and ModDate values, and to seed the trailer /ID.
- This by itself should suffice to create reproducible PDFs. The
- new primitives below support more granular output tweaks with the
- same intent.
- - if the environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH_TEX_PRIMITIVES is set
- to 1, the \year, \day, and \time primitives are also initialized
- from the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH value, instead of the current time.
-
- - new primitive \pdfinfoomitdate to omit CreationDate and ModDate keys.
- - new primitive \pdftrailerid to set seed for the trailer /ID
- computation; with an empty argument \pdftrailerid{}, the /ID is omitted.
- - new primitive \pdfsuppressptexinfo to omit PTEX.* keys from output;
- the value is a bitmask:
- % 1 -> PTEX.Fullbanner
- % 2 -> PTEX.FileName
- % 4 -> PTEX.PageNumber
- % 8 -> PTEX.InfoDict (/Producer /Creator /CreationDate /ModDate /Trapped)
-
-- bugfixes:
- - do not crash if font size of a vf >= 2048pt.
-
----------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015)

- - sync with xpdf 3.04.
-
-- bugfixes:
- - ensure line-ending after a group dict in the output.
-
----------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.15 (TeX Live 2014)

-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.7 was released on 2008-02-17
-- Bugfix:
- - PDFs > 2GiB (LFS) were still broken on 32-bit systems
-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.6 was released on 2008-02-04
-- Bugfixes:
- - inclusion of encrypted PDFs was broken (861)
- - PDFs > 2GiB (LFS) would be broken, even on 64-bit systems. Now the basic
- support for LFS is there, you only need to supply the right compiler flags
- (this is not yet done automatically). See build.sh for hints on compiling.
- - Page groups in pdfs (see the discussion in the notes vor v1.10a) are now
- handled correctly (741)
- - When including transparent PNGs pdftex now automatically adds a Page Group
- (896)

-- pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.24
-- pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.02pl2
-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.5 was released on 2007-07-31
-- Bugfixes:
- - calling 'pdftex %' would crash (830)
- - fflush the recorder file
-- pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.02pl1
-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.4 was released on 2007-07-11
-- Bugfixes:
- - It was impossible to set the font Flags to 4 in map entries (762)
- - The font Flags of non-embedded fonts were wrong (794)
- Now pdfTeX uses the Flags from map entries (if found) or guesses values for
- the base14 fonts. It also warns when you not-embedd a font without Flags
- - Subsetted fonts still had their private UniqueID copied (774)
- - \pdfunescapehex returned a wrong result if the last character was not a
- hexadecimal digit and the last hex pair was incomplete (777)
- - Copying a box with \pdfstartlink inside produced the same /Link annotation
- object multiply, with same object number and identical coordinates on the
- page (799)
- - When trying to use a font without TFM, without map entry, and no PK font
- available, a broken PDF was produced. Now no PDF is generated and the error
- messages have been improved (721)
- - Problems with vf fonts (722)
- - With pdf inclusion the font descriptor could get mixed up and miss some
- required keys (810)
- - Font expansion led to wrong log output of \kerns (736)
- - \pdfprimitive was broken (see
- http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2007-April/002860.html)
- - The -recorder option of web2c didn't record fonts, included images and some
- other files (772)
- - Using \pdfximage in IniTeX before \dump caused a crash when the format was
- used (824)
- - \letterspacefont had some problems (712)
- - \letterspacefont and \pdffontexpand had some problems (747)
-- Improvements:
- - pdf compression is now a bit faster (patch 726)
- - the behaviour of TeX when it asks for a file name has been improved (756)
-- pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.18
-- pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.02
-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.3 was released on 2007-02-04

- broken pdfs (729)
-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.2 was released on 2007-01-31

-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.40.0 was released on 2007-01-01
-- pdfetex (as a separate binary/program) is gone; all extensions are now in
- pdftex. The make files still know about the target pdfetex, but it's just a
- copy of pdftex
-- The sources of TeX, eTeX and pdfTeX have been merged into one file pdftex.web
- and one change file pdftex.ch. The sources of TeX and eTeX distributed are
- just there for reference
-- New features:
- - pdfTeX can now generate PDF 1.5 object streams, which leads to smaller
- PDFs. This is controlled by setting \pdfobjcompresslevel to a value >0 (3
- compress everything, 2 don't compress /Info, 1 also don't compress embedded
- PDFs) and works only with PDF >=1.5
- - pdfTeX now supports another image file format: JBIG2 files (.jbig2)
- - the memory allocated for objects and destination names now grows
- dynamically
- - pdfTeX now generates smaller PDFs since for char positioning the width of
- chars (/Widths) is stored with more precision and so the chars must rarely
- be positioned separately
- - the PK resolution is now taken from the "pk_dpi" parameter in texmf.cnf if
- it has not been set in the format file or by the user
- - pdfTeX now removes the generated pdf in case of a fatal error
- - pdfTeX now sets /ModDate and /Trapped in the InfoDict by default (the
- values can be overridden with \pdfinfo)
- - the format of warnings and errors issued by pdfTeX has been changed and
- unified
- - the output of -version has been extended and now includes information about
- the libraries actually used, which can be handy when using shared libraries
- - rules and their positioning on the page are now inside a qQ group
-- New primitives:
- - pdfTeX can now handle colourstacks.
- - \pdfcolorstackinit
- A stack is initialized by \pdfcolorstackinit. It expands to the number of
- the new stack. The common case, the traditinal color stack is already
- initialized as first stack: \pdfcolorstackinit page direct {0 g 0 G}
- The keyword "page" means that this stack is page based. At the start of
- the new page, the current stack value is automatically set.
- - \pdfcolorstack
- \pdfcolorstack <stack number> push {<new color>}
- pushes the current value on the stack and sets the <new color>.
- \pdfcolorstack <stack number> pop
- pops and sets the current stack value.
- \pdfcolorstack <stack number> current
- sets the current stack value without changing the stack. This is useful
- for stacks that are initialized without keyword "page". Thus the page
- start setting can be set manually.
- \pdfcolorstack <stack number> set {<new color>}
- The current value is set to <new color>.
- - Transformation matrices can now be manipulated more cleanly:
- Currently matrix changes are done and hidden inside \pdfliteral nodes;
- pdfTeX doesn't parse its contents and does not know the new settings of the
- transform matrix. Thus the new primitives to save pdfTeX from parsing
- \pdfliteral contents and to notify pdfTeX about matrix changes to use them
- in calculating link and anchor positions.
- - \pdfsetmatrix{<a> <b> <c> <d>}
- is the equivalent to \pdfliteral{<a> <b> <c> <d> 0 0 cm}
- - \pdfsave is the equivalent to \pdfliteral{q}
- - \pdfrestore is the equivalent to \pdfliteral{Q}
- - \pdfprimitive\TeX-primitive executes the original \TeX-primitive even if
- the command has been redefined since. E.g.
- \let\relax\undefined\pdfprimitive\relax
- expands to \relax.
- \ifpdfprimitive\TeX-primitive is true if \TeX-primitive has its original
- meaning
- - \ifpdfabsnum and \ifpdfabsdim are like \ifnum and \ifdim, but don't care
- about negative numbers
- - shell escape: if the first character of a filename for \openin, \openout
- \input is a pipe symbol (|), the filename is assumed to be a request for a
- pipe to a command line that is given in the rest of the filename
- - draftmode: With \pdfdraftmode=1 or the commandline switch -draftmode pdfTeX
- doesn't write the output pdf and doesn't actually read any images, thus
- speeding up compilations when you know you need an extra run but don't care
- about the output, e.g. just to get the BibTeX references right
- - \pdfpxdimen (introduced in 1.30) is now a real dimension parameter. It
- allows one base dimensions on pixels. 1px defaults to 1bp (or 72dpi), but
- can be changed with the \pdfpxdimen primitive:
- \pdfpxdimen=1in % 1 dpi
- \divide\pdfpxdimen by 96 % 96 dpi
- \hsize=1200px
- Now \hsize is (1in/96)*1200
- - \pdflastlink returns the object number of the last \pdfstartlink
- - \pdfsavepos now works in DVI mode
-- Fonts:
- - support for subfonts: This creates all needed map entries for subfonts
- automatically and handles Unicode mappings
- - ToUnicode entries for Type1 fonts (patch 580)
-- HZ:
- - added patch 462: HZ font expansion in autoexpand mode now produces smaller
- pdf files, as it works by modififying the text matrix for single fonts
- instead of embedding many expanded font versions. Therefore HZ now can be
- used also for TrueType fonts and even for non-embedded fonts (e.g.
- Times-Roman)
-- Bugfixes:
- - the PDF statistics in the log are now correct
- - added JFIF detection patch to writejpg.c (bug 548)
- - bugfix: invalid pdf created if font name contains space (509)
- - bugfix: truetype OS/2 v3 fonts (594)
- - bugfix: Type1C (CFF) fonts of embedded pdfs didn't get replaced
-- pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.14

-- bugfix: \write18
-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.30.2 was released on 2005-08-25
-- fixed some build problems and minor bugs introduced in 1.30.1
-
--------------------------------------------------
-pdfTeX 3.141592-1.30.1 was released on 2005-08-21
-- 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
