-pdfTeX
-======
+pdfTeX is an extended version of eTeX that can create PDF directly from
+TeX source files and enhance the result of TeX typesetting with the help
+of PDF. When PDF output is not selected, pdfTeX produces normal DVI
+output, otherwise it produces PDF output that looks essentially
+identical to the DVI output. An important aspect of this project is to
+investigate alternative justification algorithms.
-README for version 3.14159-1.40.2
-=================================
-
-This directory contains the version 1.40.2 of pdfTeX, an extended version
-of eTeX that can create PDF directly from TeX source files and enhance the
-result of TeX typesetting with the help of PDF. When PDF output is not
-selected, pdfTeX produces normal DVI output, otherwise it produces PDF
-output that looks identical to the DVI output. An important aspect of this
-project is to investigate alternative justification algorithms, optionally
-making use of multiple master fonts.
-
-pdfTeX is based on the original eTeX sources and Web2c, and has been
-successfully compiled on Unix, Win32 and DOS systems. It is still under
-development and features may change; it produces reasonable PDF code.
+pdfTeX is based on the original e-TeX sources and Web2c, and has been
+successfully compiled on many systems. It is no longer under active
+development and only bug fixes and small enhancements are expected.
