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

On Wed, 11 Jul 2007, Martin Scharrer submitted a new version of the
svn-multi
package.
This package lets you typeset keywords of the version control system
Subversion inside your LaTeX files anywhere you like. Unlike the otherwise
similar package svn the use of multiple files for one LaTeX document is
well supported.
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/svn-multi
License: LPPL (changed!)
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed issue with unwanted spaces generated by
svnid, svnidlong and svnkwsave, e.g. when used in a file which is
included with input. Thanks to my friend Simon Effler for pointing this out.
The package licence got upgraded to LPPL 1.3 and it has now the LPPL
maintenance status `maintained'.
