After a long time without a published beta or stable release, I am very please to make this announce. Highlights: * LM fonts added * new kpathsea search paths (not yet part of an official kpathsea library, but planned for the next version) * cleanup for accessing map files, enc files and the pdftex config file * rearrangements in the texmf tree - map files are now in texmf/fonts/map// - enc files in texmf/fonts/enc// - all "tex inputs" files in texmf/tex (no longer tex inputs in texmf/{etex,pdftex,pdfetex,...} * latest pdfTeX release (1.11c beta) * latest xdvik (no longer needs libwww library) * new default setup: texmf-dist holds the texmf tree as distributed; everything else goes elsewhere. So, the installed texmf-dist can easily be replaced with a new version * cm fonts no longer reencoded when embeded by dvips / pdftex Important notes: This release follows a change of the TeX Directory Standard (TDS) made in Feb. 2003 which means that you need to rearrange your local texmf trees if they still use the old organization. The latest version of the TDS document can be found on CTAN:tds/tds.dvi. If you have map files inside the dvips or pdftex directory tree, move them to fonts/map (or a subdirectory of it; details can be found in the tds document). If you have enc files inside the dvips directory tree, move them to fonts/enc (or a subdirectory). If you have input files for etex, mltex, omega and pdftex at top-level in your directory tree, move them to the tex tree. Preserve the structure that was below the old tree, e.g. move pdftex/foo/baa/x.tex to tex/foo/baa/x.tex. The config file of pdftex (pdftex.cfg) does not count as "tex input file". It must not be moved out of the pdftex directory.
