General:
* Donald Knuth’s changes for his 2021 tuneup of TeX and Metafont are
incorporated (https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-1/tb130knuth-tuneup21.pdf). They
are also available on CTAN as the knuth-dist and knuth-local packages. As
expected, the fixes are for obscure cases and do not affect any behavior in
practice.
* Except in original TeX: if \tracinglostchars is set to 3 or more, missing
characters will result in an error, not just a message in the log file, and
the missing character code will be shown in hex.
* Except in original TeX: a new integer parameter \tracingstacklevels, if
positive, and \tracingmacros is also positive, causes a prefix indicating the
macro expansion depth to be output on each relevant log line (e.g., ~.. at
depth 2). Also, macro logging is truncated at a depth ≥ the parameter value.
Aleph: The Aleph-based LaTeX format, named lamed, has been removed. The aleph
binary itself is still included and supported.
LuaTeX:
* Lua 5.3.6.
* Callback for nesting level used in \tracingmacros, as generalized variant
of the new \tracingstacklevels.
* Mark math glyphs as protected to prevent processing as text.
* Removed width/ic compensation for traditional math code path.
MetaPost:
* SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable support for reproducible output.
* Avoid wrong final % in mpto.
* Document -T option, other fixes to manual.
* Value of epsilon changed in binary and decimal modes, so mp_solve_rising_cubic
works as expected.
pdfTeX:
* New primitives \pdfrunninglinkoff and \pdfrunninglinkon; e.g., for
disabling generation of links in headers and footers.
* Warn instead of aborting when “\pdfendlink ended up in different nesting
level than \pdfstartlink”.
* Dump \pdfglyphtounicode assignments in fmt file.
* Source: poppler support removed, as it was too hard to keep in sync with
upstream. In native TL, pdfTeX has always used libs/xpdf, which is cut-down
and adapted code from xpdf.
XeTeX: Fixes for math kerning.
Dvipdfmx:
* Ghostscript is now invoked safely by default; to override (assuming all
input files are trusted), use -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg. To use PSTricks with
XeTeX, this is required, as in:
xetex -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -i dvipdfmx-unsafe.cfg -q -E" ...
* If an image file is not found, exit with bad status.
* Extended special syntax for color support.
* Specials for manipulating ExtGState.
* Compatibility specials pdfcolorstack and pdffontattr.
* Experimental support for dviluatex’s extended fnt_def.
* Support new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition.
Dvips:
* Default PostScript document title is now the basename of the input file,
and can be overridden with the new option -title.
* If an .eps or other image file is not found, exit with bad status.
* Support new feature of virtual font to fallback Japanese font definition.
General:
* The \input primitive in all TeX engines, including tex, now also accepts a
group-delimited filename argument, as a system-dependent extension. The usage
with a standard space/token-delimited filename is completely unchanged. The
group-delimited argument was previously implemented in LuaTeX; now it is available
in all engines. ASCII double quote characters (") are removed from the filename,
but it is otherwise left unchanged after tokenization. This does not currently
affect LaTeX’s \input command, as that is a macro redefinition of the standard
\input primitive.
* New option –cnf-line for kpsewhich, tex, mf, and all other engines, to support
arbitrary configuration settings on the command line.
* The addition of various primitives to various engines in this and previous years
is intended to result in a common set of functionality available across
all engines.
epTeX, eupTeX: New primitives \Uchar, \Ucharcat, \current(x)spacingmode, \ifincsname;
revise \fontchar?? and \iffontchar. For eupTeX only: \currentcjktoken.
LuaTeX: Integration with HarfBuzz library, available as new engines luahbtex
(used for lualatex) and luajithbtex. New primitives: \eTeXgluestretchorder,
\eTeXglueshrinkorder.
pdfTeX: New primitive \pdfmajorversion; this merely changes the version number
in the PDF output; it has no effect on any PDF content. \pdfximage and similar
now search for image files in the same way as \openin.
pTeX: New primitives \ifjfont, \iftfont. Also in epTeX, upTeX, eupTeX.
XeTeX: Fixes for \Umathchardef, \XeTeXinterchartoks, \pdfsavepos.
Dvips: Output encodings for bitmap fonts, for better copy/paste capabilities.

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.
Changes:
- Default is not to cache image files.
- back to using -dEPSCrop instead of -sPAPERSIZE=a0, in conjunction with
changes to dvipdfmx.def and xetex.def.
- speed up inclusion of eps figures.
- Make sure CMapName of embedded CMaps does not contain slashes.
- support large truetype fonts which are strictly speaking out of spec,
idx > 32767.
Major changes:
- Add -E option that enables DVIPDFM emulation mode in DVIPDFMx.
- Don't try to convert included PDF files whose version number
is higher than output file version. (If run as dvipdfm,
conversion still occurs.)
- Added dvipdfm compatibility mode. This mode is triggered
if dvipdfmx is called as "dvipdfm", and likewise extractbb
as "ebb". (The latter mode was already present.)
- Made predefined paper sizes match values given by libpaper.
Changes since 20050831:
- Xref and object stream were implemented for PDF v1.5 or higher to reduce the
size of the PDF output.
- New program "xbb" is included, which generates ".xbb" file containing the
bounding box information. For bitmap images, DVIPDFMx generates the same
result as pdfTeX if ".xbb" is used, and as DVIPDFM if ".bb" is used.
- Many bug fixes.
and return it as int, since subtracting of pointers to incomplete types
is not defined (FILE on DragonFly) or the result might be a multiple of
INT_MAX (LP64). Bump revision.
Major changes since 20031116:
- bug fixes in subfont scheme or TrueType fonts with CIDType2 format.
- embedded ICC profile support for JPEG and PNG.
- Accept "unicode" encoding keyword in fontmap files for TrueType and
Type1 fonts.
Approved by kei@ and wiz@.
Changes since 20021230:
* Fixed a bug on the algorithm converting arc to cubic bezier
curves in arc() (tpic.c), which is reported by Werner Lemberg.
* PNG support completely rewritten. Color pallete images are
now not converted to 24-bit RGB, colorspace Indexed is used
instead. Added tRNS and alpha chunnel (transparency) support.
Experimental gAMA, cHRM and sRGB support.
* Fixed bug that dvipdfmx stops with error "Invalid Subr Index"
when embedding CFF OpenType font.
* Add a missing line including pdfparse.h in dvi.c, which is
reported by Akira Kakuto.
* Changed the default font map files for teTeX 2.x as suggested
by Haruhiko Okumura.
* A bug on the paper size checking routine of dvi_paper_size()
in dvi.c is fixed, which is reported by Haruhiko Okumura.
* A bug on the kerning routine of dev_set_string() in pdfdev.c is
fixed, which is reported by Edward G.J. Lee.
* Changed to embed images only one time.
* Updated configure.in and config.h.in to support WORDS_BIGENDIAN
and SIZEOF_SHORT, SIZEOF_INT, SIZEOF_LONG.
* A faked font name was used for TrueType fonts without any PS
font name as suggested by Hin-Tak Leung.
* Built-in codes (originally from libgcrypt-1.1.42) was used
for PDF encryption instead of the OpenSSL library as suggested
by Thomas Esser.
* A significant bug reported from Haruhiko Okumura is fixed.
The bug occurs only if compiled with gcc 3.x, not gcc 2.x.
* New feature, hexadecimal Unicode, suggested by iNOUE Koich!
and Akira Kakuto is implemented.
* Fixed bugs on reading and writing OpenType fonts.
* Applied changes for MiKTeX in ps_include() (psimage.c).
* Fixed a bug in cff_charsets_lookup() (cff.c).
* Fixed a bug in string_mode() (pdfdev.c) reported by iNOUE Koich!.
It depends on newly imported teTeX2 package.
The dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) project provides an eXtended version
of the dvipdfm, a DVI to PDF translator developed by Mark A. Wicks. The
primary goal of this project is to support multi-byte character
encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages by CID-keyed
font technology. The secondary goal is to support as many features as
pdfTeX developed by Han The Thanh. This project is a combined work of
the dvipdfm-jpn project by Shunsaku Hirata and its modified one,
dvipdfm-kor, by Jin-Hwan Cho.
It has many other features. For further info, visit the projects' web
