pdftex 1.20a-rc7.1 SlantFont limitcheck
by Hartmut Henkel 16 Aug '04

16 Aug '04

Minor point only: In mapfile.c (e. g. current texlive), somehow the absolute value function for SlantFont range check got lost; the line if ((fm_ptr->slant) >= 1000) { should be: if (abs(fm_ptr->slant) >= 1000) { (The abs() _is_ there for ExtendFont check, so it allows even to type e. g. -1.9 ExtendFont with flipped characters; ok, why not :-) Regards, Hartmut

Hi (challenge for Hartmut -) Is it hard to implement something \pdfximage ... colorspace {...} ... {filename} Where the colorspace spec replaces the one present in the graphic? (in addition, \pdflastximagedepth : 0 = no bitmap, 8, 16, 24, 32 =bitmap) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Please don't submit unchanged files
by The Thanh Han 27 Jul '04

27 Jul '04

Hi Martin, can you please submit to texlive only files that are changed? It would save me a lot of time browsing those files. When I do a diff, I often get a bunch of files that differ only in their $Id but nothing else. Then it is very difficult to check which files have been changed at all. Thanks, Thanh

Thanh, The vadjust pre code should be available pdfetex as well, i depend on it ! (ok, we need to fix a border case, but nevertheless, some of my docs produce non optimal output when it's not supported) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Schedule 20040721
by Martin Schröder 21 Jul '04

21 Jul '04

We currently have a quite stable version (1.20a-rc7.1). ToDo: - move "vadjust pre" from xtex to etex -> rc7.2 - adopt the patches from peb for etex-pre2.2 -> rc7.3 - update the README for sarovar - fix open problem with hz -> thanh I'll be offline for two weeks starting monday (W31 and W32) and out of office in W33. So I think we should delay the release till W34.

\quitvmode patch
by Taco Hoekwater 15 Jul '04

15 Jul '04

Here is another very simple patch. The change file adds a new primitive called \quitvmode. In vertical modes, it is identical to \indent, but in horizontal and math modes it is \noindent. See: http://www.metatex.org/web/quitvmode.html for more information. groeten, Taco
