Name and email: Martin Schröder <martin at pdftex.org>
Suggested location on CTAN: systems/pdftex
Summary description: A new stable version of pdfTeX
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Major changes since 1.10b
-------------------------
- New command \pdftrailer analogue to \pdfcatalog whose argument ends up in the
trailer dictionary.
- The behaviour when an included pdf has a newer version than the one specified
with \pdfoptionpdfminorversion can be controlled by the new internal integer
\pdfoptionpdfinclusionerrorlevel: If it's 0, pdfTeX gives only a warning; if
it's 1, it raises an error.
This can also be set in pdftex.cfg with pdf_inclusion_errorlevel
- The syntax for outlines has been extended to allow attributes:
<outline spec> --> <attr spec> <action spec> [count <number>] <general text>
See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2003-June/000165.html
- The syntax of \pdfobj has been extended:
\pdfobj <object type spec> (h, v, m)
<object type spec> --> reserveobjnum
| [useobjnum <number>] [<attr spec>] [stream [<attr spec>]] <object contents>
<object contents> --> <file spec>
| <general text>
When the optional keyword `reserveobjnum' and `useobjnum' is not given, the
behaviour is unchanged.

- Bugfix: /CreationDate didn't care for the timezone and could be fooled.
See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2003-July/000223.html
- Bugfix: The translation of 8-bit characters in included pdfs that had their
eighth bit set sometimes got wrong because of a missing typecast.
See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2003-July/000216.html
- Bugfix: pdfTeX -ini would crash with a minimal file because it didn't read
it's config and so didn't know anything about fonts.
See http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-July/004262.html
- Bugfix: \pdfstartlink would produce spurious /NewWindow entries. Also the
syntax of <action spec> and <goto-action spec> has been cleaned up.
See http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2003-June/000167.html
- Bugfix: \pdffontattr was not used for T3 fonts.
See http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-June/004127.html
- Bugfix: The cropbox of an included pdf would sometimes not be used.
See http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2003-May/004037.html
- pdfTeX uses xpdf 2.02

the archive contains NEWS, README and pdftex.xml, which should be extracted and put alongside the archive. And pdftex.xml should go into the catalogue. :-)

Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested in
CTAN:systems/pdftex
Graham, can you please use systems/pdftex/pdftex.xml for the catalogue?
