CTAN Update: pdftex 1.40.4
by CTAN Announcements 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

On Wed, 11 Jul 2007 at 15:51 +0200, Martin Schröder submitted a new version of the pdftex package. Location on CTAN: /systems/pdftex Summary description: A new version of pdftex License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The pdfTeX team is happy to announce the release of a new stable version: =========================================================================== pdfTeX 1.40.4 =========================================================================== This is the announcement of pdfTeX 1.40.4, an extended version of TeX that can create PDF directly from TeX source files and enhance the result of TeX typesetting with the help of PDF. =========================================================================== Main changes of pdfTeX 1.40.4 =========================================================================== - 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) - 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) - 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 For complete release notes see http://www.pdftex.org/NEWS =========================================================================== Legal notice / license =========================================================================== pdfTeX is copyright (c) 1996-2007 Han The Thanh, <thanh(a)pdftex.org> pdfTeX is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. For a complete README (with a full discussion of the license) please look at http://www.pdftex.org/README =========================================================================== The files / installation =========================================================================== You should first try to get a new version of pdfTeX through your distribution.
