Name of contribution: dvisvgm

On Sun, 26 Jul 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
pdfcomment
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment
Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting
arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in
a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is
indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions
in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe
Reader. At least for the writer of LATEX code, the package offers a
convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments
in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports:
LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX.
Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to
nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is
Adobe Reader.
License: LPPL
Changes in v1.4b:
- Bugfix: problem with different default values for page size
with pdflatex (dvi mode) and dvips/dvipdfmx
=> better specify page size with an option like a4paper
- Bugfix: changed procedure of loading hyperref to prevent warnings
with dvipdfmx

------------------------- Announcement -------------------------
I'm happy to announce release 3.3 of Eplain, a set of TeX macros that
expands on and extends the definitions in plain TeX in a
style-neutral fashion. Eplain's home page is
http://tug.org/eplain
You can get it off CTAN at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/eplain
The manual is available on-line from CTAN or Eplain's home page, or as
a hard-copy from
http://www.lulu.com/content/113810
(royalties are donated to the TeX Users Group).
Here's an excerpt from the NEWS file.
* New commands eqnum and eqalignnum, counterparts of (l)eqno and
(l)eqalignno, producing equation numbers which can be uniformly
transformed to right-aligned (
ighteqnumbers) or left-aligned
(lefteqnumbers).
* Eplain has borrowed the eTeX, ExTeX, XeTeX and XeLaTeX logos from
tugboat.dtx.
* idxnameseparator is now expanded once so that the .idx file
contains its contents instead of the macro call.
* Non-silent indexing macros have been fixed not to produce a spurious
newline when newline's catcode is 13 (active).
* Eplain now takes care to unactivate any active characters before
typesetting index term in the margin for proofing.
* Updated ifpdf.sty.
* LaTeX package reloading warnings are now not shown on the terminal.
* Documentation improvements.
Thanks to everybody who contributed with bug reports, feature
suggestions and code patches.

The new version of this package includes the following update:

DVIPDFMx specials.
- Since HTH kindly applied a ttc support patch to pdfTeX, now simsun.ttf is renamed to simsun.ttc in the map lines so there is
no need for the user to break their ttc fonts manually. Everything should work right out of the box.
- a new script, CTeXFonts.lua is included into the scripts directory. This enables the users to convert Chinese TTF files into
Type1 subfonts for dvips and dvipdfm.
