- New tool in the fontools collection:
- splitttc: splits an OpenType Collection file into separate fonts
- Changes in autoinst:
- Added -mergeweights and -mergeshapes options
- Improved parsing of fonts' widths and weights
- Improved mapping of widths and weights to NFSS codes
- Warn when installing fonts from multiple families
- Added (simple) automatic recognition of sanserif and typewriter fonts
- Added encoding files for T3 and TS3 to distribution
- Bugs fixed:
- always log results of font info parsing
- -inferiors without value would gobble next option or argument
- fixed error checking after calls to otfinfo
- use only standard NFSS codes for width and weight in fd files
- create $TEXMFHOME when it doesn't exist (but only if $TEXMFLOCAL
isn't user-writable, since that's still the default output tree)
- in manual mode, put all generated files into a subdir "autoinst_output/",
instead of all over the current dir
- add 'auto' value to the -inferiors option; autoinst will use
whatever inferior characters the font contains
- more relevant logfiles
- better mapping of NFSS codes to actual fonts
- new command-line options to fine-tune that mapping even further
- handle fonts who put small caps into separate families
- improved handling of Titling fonts
- don't add f-ligatures to typewriter fonts
Changes in ot2kpx:
- kerning data can now also be output as a Luatex custom font feature, for
use with \directlua.

pdfTEX: Support JPEG Exif as well as JFIF; do not even emit a warning if
\pdfinclusionerrorlevel is negative; sync with xpdf 3.04.
LuaTEX: New library newtokenlib for scanning tokens; bug fixes in the normal
random number generator and other places.
XeTEX: Image handling fixes; xdvipdfmx binary looked for first as a sibling
to xetex; internal XDV opcodes changed.
MetaPost: New numbersystem binary; new Japanese-enabled upmpost and
updvitomp programs, analogous to up*tex.
Infrastructure: The fmtutil script has been reimplemented to read
fmtutil.cnf on a per-tree basis, analogous to updmap. Web2C mktex* scripts
(including mktexlsr, mktextfm, mktexpk) now prefer programs in their own
directory, instead of always using the existing PATH.
