There are still a few pending issues:
1) while we are renaming some promitives to be consistent, would it be better to change the following as well:
How about keeping the old names as well, but undocumenting them (and maybe giving a warning if they are used, i.e. deprecating them)?
pdfoptionpdfminorversion -> pdfminorversion
i would like these shorter names, but apparently Hans is already using this in spec-tpd.tex, so we can count it as frozen.
pdfoptionalwaysusepdfpagebox -> pdfforcepagebox
never seen this in use anywhere. So maybe...
ArtCom uses it. But that's not my problem anymore (and they will probably never upgrade their pdftex). :-}
pdfoptionpdfinclusionerrorlevel -> ???
used by Hans.
We could simply remove the "option"
2) what about moving everything from pdfxtex to pdftex and remove pdfxtex?
Since everybody now is using etex, there shouldn't be a problem if tex becomes experimental. :-)
3) should the pkmode and microinterval patches be in as well?
a pkmode facility has been discussed by Karl. It's now a token register so that it is dumped into the format. Makes it maybe a little tedious in pdftexconfig.tex, as one has to assign catcodes for opening and closing braces, but should be ok.
Microinterval will be fun, allows checking various performance things...
Put them both in. Best regards Martin -- http://www.tm.oneiros.de
