CTAN package update -- hyperref v6.75a

Heiko Oberdiek writes:

I have uploaded the new hyperref version to the tug server: ftp://ftp.tug.org/pub/tex/hyperref/ AFAIK this will be automatically mirrored to CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/

i have forced the mirror to run, and pushed the result out to other ctan sites. (otherwise, the update would not have happened until some time in the small hours of tomorrow morning.)

hyperref, as almost everybody probably knows, is the package of choice for constructing hyper-references within latex documents; changes in this latest version are listed below.

thanks, Heiko, for this new version of your very important package.

From ChangeLog:

2006-08-01 6.75a Heiko Oberdiek * 6.75a * hyperref-tds.zip provided with files sorted in a TDS tree. * New option defaults: * plainpages=false * pdfpagelabels=true * Package kvoptions defines ProcessOptionsWithKV under the name ProcessKeyvalOptions. It replaces hyperref's macro ProcessOptionsWithKV. * Some code for extracting reference information is put into package refcount that is now loaded by nameref and hyperref. * setbookmarksdepth: The depth of the outline entries can now set separatly from counter tocdepth, see README. * New option: pdfescapeform, see README. * hyper@normalise for action attribute in forms. * ProcessOptionsWithKV: letCurrentOption@empty added. * bordercolor options now support package xcolor (>=1.11). * color options also support the optional argument (color model) of color. * New option pdfborderstyle that allows the setting of the border style dictionary. (Be aware that the support of this feature by PDF viewers is limited.) Example: underlined links can be obtained by pdfborderstyle={/S/U} * Direct low level bookmark support for usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} and uftf8x of package ucs. Byte sequences until three bytes are supported and e-TeX is required. (No support for surrogates). * Fix in addcontentsline, if option verbose is set. * Better bookmark support for FrenchPro package by use of if@mid@expandable (Bernard Gaulle gaulle@idris.fr). * Options pdfcreationdate and pdfmoddate added. * README: Section Limitations added with Broken Link Support. * Default driver setting: added missed code of corresponding options (Thanks for Arnaud Giersch <arnauld.giersch at free.fr>). * penalty10000 added in Hy@raisedlink to cancel the effect of smash in preventing hyphenation, e.g. a footnote after a word. * @classoptionslist can be

elax (see psnfss/3773).

* 

ew@ifnextchar also disabled for bookmarks and

  constructs such as letif...if{true,false} are catched,
  see latex/3662.
* Bug fix: The case part without number by counter secnumdepth
  was forgotten for the bookmarks (thanks to Rachel Elizabeth Dillon).
* Bug fix: vpageref defines undefined references with
  empty anchor name that breaks autoref.
* Fix: Wrong message about setting of draft fixed,
  if option final is used.
* Pdfmark driver: better removal of pdfmark stuff,
  especially generated by forms, if the postscript
  application does not define pdfmark, e.g. because the
  output is not pdf (gs >= 8.0).
* New version numbering scheme of pdfTeX >= 1.30.
* Fix for hyper@normalise, if & is used inside href
  in tabular environments.
* Fix: Setting pdfproducer in usepackage's option part
  did'nt have an effect, because it was overwritten by
  the default setting.
* Fix: pageanchor=false disabled @hyperfixhead and thus
  many other features unrelated to pageanchor itself.
  (Thanks to Hendri Adriaens for report and analysis.)
  Now pageanchor can be changed during the document, too.
* Protection of strings that are written as PS/PDF strings.
* Hook Hy@setouterhbox for package setouterhbox.
* Option plainpages: 	hepage is run through pdfstringdef.
  Helps in the case of spanish roman numbers.
* Deprecate warning for option 'dvipdf'.
* ding replaced by its code for dropping the dependency on
  package pifont and a compatibility problem with package
  pinyin (Werner Lemberg).
* hyper@normalise: \ is escape for  (href, ...).
* Bug fix (debian 351260) in float support by Braun Gabor.
* Fix: Write register for bookmarks is only allocated if needed.
* Empty Unicode strings without Unicode header bytes.
* Fix for pdfmark+unicode+pdfpagelabels.
* Bug fix for empty destination names of pdfmark based drivers.
* Documentation: option hyperfootnotes added.
* French texts (HyLang@french) provided by Marc-Antoine Parent.
* README: compatibility entries for packages ellipsis, verse.
* hyper@normalize: support of active dollar.
* puenc.def: some fixes, reported by Ralf Stubner.
* Makefile no longer provided.
* nameref 2.24: Patch for ifthen moved from hyperref to nameref.
* nameref 2.24: Definitions of filedate and fileversion removed.
* nameref 2.23: Support for captions added.
* nameref 2.22:
  Fix: @safe@activestrue limited to label name.
* backref 1.25: New feature ifbackrefparscan/ackrefprint
* backref 1.25: Definitions of filedate and fileversion removed.
* backref 1.24: [#1] --> [{#1}]
* Documentation: README.pdf and ChangeLog.pdf added.
