+*** The Xpdf web site has moved to www.xpdfreader.com ***
-Xpdf runs under the X Window System on Unix, and OS/2. The non-X
-components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems and
-should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler.
+Xpdf uses the Qt toolkit and runs on Linux and Windows. The
+non-graphical components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) run on Linux,
+Unix, Windows, MacOSX, and pretty much any other system with a decent
+C++ compiler.
Major changes:
-* New text extractor.
-* Added the pdftohtml tool.
-* Added the pdftopng tool.
-* New trapezoid-based rasterizer core (for performance).
+* Complete rewrite of the xpdf GUI, using Qt instead of Motif.
+* Multithreaded rasterization in the viewer - pages are now rasterized
+ in a separate thread so that scrolling and other UI activity is not
+ blocked.
+* Added a linear text selection mode.
See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list of changes.
Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to
-compile for UNIX, OS/2, and Win32.
+compile for Linux and Windows.
