Josef Kleber submitted an update to the

                pdfcomment

package.

Version number: 2.4a
License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


For a long time pdflatex has offered the command `\pdfannot` for inserting 
arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form 
where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is 
indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions 
in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe 
Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a 
convenient and user-friendly means of using `\pdfannot` to provide 
comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports:

  LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX

Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers may vary. The 
reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader.

Changes in v2.4a:

* fix issue #22: fix "Wrong driver 'hpdftex.def'" warning when using 
`lualatex`
