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.
