The LaTeX Project Team submitted an update to the
pdfmanagement
package.
Version: 0.96z 2026-04-15
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: LaTeX PDF management bundle
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Changed
* The name of the bundle is now pdfmanagement!
Files have been renamed to no longer use “testphase”.
* Force `/Contents` key on Link only if PDF/UA-1 is detected
* The standard is no longer switched automatically from A-4 to A-4f
if an embedded file is found, a note is written to the log-file.
See comment in issue #107
* removed some color definitions in firstaid/color-ltx.sty as
they are done by the kernel directly.
### Added
* new module l3pdfoutline to create bookmarks
* latex-lab-bookmark.dtx: a reimplementation of the bookmark
package which uses the new module l3pdfoutline
* l3pdftools: new command `\pdf_purify:nN`, a replacement for
hyperref's `\pdfstringdef`.
### Fixed
* css-files embedded at the end were not detected by the
embedded file test
* The object for /Pattern didn't exist if they were referenced
in tikz fading/XObject
