Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a clean-up release. It deprecates many macros from
xintcore.sty and xint.sty. Deprecated macros generate an
error message but then (as a rule) expand as in former releases.
The majority of these deprecated macros receive their proper
definitions from package xintfrac.sty. Loading the latter
will thus, for those macros it defines again, make invisible to
end-user this xintcore/xint macro deprecation status.
All these deprecated macros are marked for removal at next major
release.

Version number: 2017-08-11

Summary description: Initialize form properties using big-endian
encoding
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The forms16be package provides support for UTF-16BE Unicode character
encoding (called a big-endian character string) for the text string
type (PDF Reference, version 1.7, beginning on page 158). Text strings
are used in text annotations, bookmark names, article threads,
document information, and so forth (to partially quote page 158). The
particular application is to set property values of form fields, at
least those properties that take the text strings as its value. The
package contains support for Basic Latin plus the ability to enter any
unicode character using the notation uXXXX, where 'XXXX' are four hex
digits. Package works for dvips/Distiller, pdflatex, lualatex, and
xelatex.
