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) - broken map files would lead to core dumps - unusual TrueType fonts would lead to an assertion error (874) - the null object in the object table was never initialized - included PDFs with /PieceInfo lost their /LastModified date - an empty colorstack crashed pdftex (897) - pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.24 - pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.02pl2 For complete release notes see http://www.pdftex.org/NEWS =========================================================================== Legal notice / license =========================================================================== pdfTeX is copyright (c) 1996-2008 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 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

CTAN package update: a mexican dialect of spanish
by CTAN Announcements 31 Jan '08

31 Jan '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: a mexican dialect of spanish Author's name: Luis Rivera Location on CTAN: /language/spanish/nonstandard/mx Summary description: language and configuration files to typeset spanish in mexico License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed an unfortunate choice of filename: on some distributions, the included spanish.cfg was automatically installed, thus becoming automatically default; the file has been renamed to esmx.cfg, so you have to create the spanish.cfg file, if not present, and type `include esmx.cfg' explicitly into spanish.cfg to make the mexican spanish default. The README file has been updated accordingly. With my apologies to all users affected. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/spanish/nonstandard/mx .
