-<p> <strong>2.05</strong>: changes to the <tt>pdfbook</tt> script &mdash; the <tt>--right-edge-binding</tt> option is now redundant, and there's a new <tt>--short-edge</tt> option for binding along the short edge of pages instead of the long edge (thanks to Marco Pessotto for this). The <tt>--preamble</tt> option to <tt>pdfjam</tt> is enhanced, to allow multiple instances which get concatenated. Also various minor corrections to man pages. [2010-04-25] </p>

<p> <strong>2.04</strong>: various minor improvements suggested by Debian maintainers (thanks to Eduard Bloch for these). The main things are: addition of the <tt>--version</tt> option; liberalisation of <tt>pdfjam</tt> to allow files in <em>JPEG</em> format to be specified as input, as well as PDF (I don't know why or if this might work! but some people have said it does); tidying of the man files; and more use of <tt>exec</tt>, to avoid forking.
