The pdfTeX team is happy to announce the release of a new stable version:
===
pdfTeX 1.40.0
===
This is the announcement of pdfTeX 1.40.0, an extended version of TeX that
can create PDF directly from TeX source files and enhance the result of TeX
typesetting with the help of PDF.
===
Main changes of pdfTeX 1.40.0
===
- pdfetex (as a separate binary/program) is gone; all extensions are now in
pdftex. The make files still know about the target pdfetex, but it's just
a copy of pdftex
- The sources of TeX, eTeX and pdfTeX have been merged into one file
pdftex.web and one change file pdftex.ch. The sources of TeX and eTeX
distributed are just there for reference
- New features:
- pdfTeX can now generate PDF 1.5 object streams, which leads to smaller
PDFs. This is controlled by setting \pdfobjcompresslevel to a value 0
(3 compress everything, 2 don't compress /Info, 1 also don't compress
embedded PDFs) and works only with PDF =1.5
- pdfTeX now supports another image file format: JBIG2 files (.jbig2)
- the memory allocated for objects and destination names now grows
dynamically
- pdfTeX now generates smaller PDFs since for char positioning the width
of chars (/Widths) is stored with more precision and so the chars must
rarely be positioned separately
- the PK resolution is now taken from the pk_dpi parameter in texmf.cnf
if it has not been set in the format file or by the user
- pdfTeX now removes the generated pdf in case of a fatal error
- pdfTeX now sets /ModDate and /Trapped in the InfoDict by default (the
values can be overridden with \pdfinfo)
- the format of warnings and errors issued by pdfTeX has been changed and
unified
- the output of -version has been extended and now includes information
about the libraries actually used, which can be handy when using shared
libraries
- rules and their positioning on the page are now inside a qQ group
- New primitives:
- pdfTeX can now handle colourstacks.
- \pdfcolorstackinit
A stack is initialized by \pdfcolorstackinit. It expands to the
number of the new stack. The common case, the traditinal color stack
is already initialized as first stack: \pdfcolorstackinit page direct
{0 g 0 G} The keyword page means that this stack is page based. At
the start of the new page, the current stack value is automatically
set.
- \pdfcolorstack
\pdfcolorstack stack number push {new color}
pushes the current value on the stack and sets the new color.
\pdfcolorstack stack number pop
pops and sets the current stack value.
\pdfcolorstack stack number current
sets the current stack value without changing the stack. This is
useful for stacks that are initialized without keyword page. Thus
the page start setting can be set manually.
\pdfcolorstack stack number set {new color}
The current value is set to new color.
- Transformation matrices can now be manipulated more cleanly:
Currently matrix changes are done and hidden inside \pdfliteral nodes;
pdfTeX doesn't parse its contents and does not know the new settings of
the transform matrix. Thus the new primitives to save pdfTeX from
parsing \pdfliteral contents and to notify pdfTeX about matrix changes
to use them in calculating link and anchor positions.
- \pdfsetmatrix{a b c d}
is the equivalent to \pdfliteral{a b c d 0 0 cm}
- \pdfsave is the equivalent to \pdfliteral{q}
- \pdfrestore is the equivalent to \pdfliteral{Q}
- \pdfprimitive\TeX-primitive executes the original \TeX-primitive even
if the command has been redefined since. E.g.
\let\relax\undefined\pdfprimitive\relax
expands to \relax.
\ifpdfprimitive\TeX-primitive is true if \TeX-primitive has its
original meaning
- \ifpdfabsnum and \ifpdfabsdim are like \ifnum and \ifdim, but don't
care about negative numbers
- shell escape: if the first character of a filename for \openin,
\openout \input is a pipe symbol

Best, Taco Taco and all other pdftex-developers, congratulations on getting version 1.40 ready for the new year! I had been using it since the first betas and never had any problems; it's great that you're going stable. Just one short remark for all those who may want to upgrade to this version: if you use opentype fonts, the .otf files have now to reside under TEXMF/fonts/opentype; right until the last beta, they were (only?) found under TEXMF/fonts/type1, but this is no longer the case. Apart from this, everything seems to be wonderfully stable. And now we all wait for luatex (or for luatools.lua so we can play around with it)...

Re: [NTG-context] debian context updates
I'm using Ubuntu 6.10, so context_2006.12.27-1_all.deb wouldn't install without a --force-conflicts,overwrite,depends given to dpkg (Ubuntu still uses tetex 3.0). With that caveat, which may explain the buglet I saw, it mostly worked fine. The buglet: The context formats that the package installed in /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex are not found. For example, pdfetex 'cont-en' tries to run mktexfmt. So I made a symlink from /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex to /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex and then 'texexec' worked fine on my current document (a 50-page mathematics textbooklet). I'm pretty sure the problem arose because I now use pdftex 1.40.0, which (I think) sets the engine to pdftex, even when it is called as pdfetex. Not sure what the best solution is. The symlink is a bit of a hack. In the long run, it's good to get rid of the pdfetex/pdftex distinction and put the context formats in web2c/pdftex/. But that'll break the current context distribution, because it uses pdfetex as the engine. So until all surrounding programs are taught to use pdftex as the engine, this problem will occur and maybe the symlink is the solution. Before I did the dpkg --force..., I was trying to simulate its effect in a custom script. So I looked through the ctxfmtutil script and was surprised to find that this texexec command (on line 38) worked: texexec --fast --make --$1 $2 where $1 is the engine and $2 is the format. A more official syntax would be texexec --fast --engine=$1 --make $2 but Hans can (might have to) correct me on that. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R.

[NTG-context] A couple of questions on heads.
Hi, I'm still a relative newbie. I enjoy using ConTeXt and have achieved some great results with it, but some issues still trip me up. I'm typesetting a journal. I use \chapter to divide it into articles. I've defined my own heads, and I need to redefine \appendix, however despite reading the manual I cant get them behave as I want. Problems: 1. Each article may have appendices. I've tried defining my own 'appendix' head to replace the default one, but I can't decide which to use, should I derive from chapter or section? The problem with using section as the base, is that the count from my previous sections is inherited. I don't want numbers of the form 1.1, 1.2, etc, either. I want to number my appendices independently, starting from 1 without the chapter number. Also, I would like to use roman numerals. 2. I derived \Author from \section with expectation that \setupheadertexts[Papertitle][Author] would yield a header containing the author's name and the paper's title, however I get the title of the most recent section instead of the author. What can I do about this? thanks, Elliot ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

You can separate the appendices by a section block. For example
% appendix is already a section block. By default, a section
% block starts a new page, you may not want that in a journal
\setupsectionblock[appendix][page=]
% Change the conversion for sections in appendices.
\setupsection
[section-3]
[appendixconversion=Romannumerals]
\starttext
\section{Test}
\startappendices
\section{An Appendix}
\stopappendices

2. I derived \Author from \section with expectation that
\setupheadertexts[Papertitle][Author] would yield a header containing
the author's name and the paper's title, however I get the title of
the most recent section instead of the author. What can I do about
this?
You need not redrive \Author from section. You can use use totally
different markings, as shown below.
% Define your own marking.
\definemarking[Papertitle]
\definemarking[Author]
% Set that marking.
\marking[Papertitle]{This is a \CONTEXT\ example}
\marking[Author]{Aditya Mahajan}
% Allow ConTeXt to do the rest :-)
\setupheadertexts[Papertitle][Author]

Hello,

Interesting idea. I do not (yet) have pdf-1.40 so I can not test this.
Does it work for normal cases? The modes manual says
*last* This mode is set if the last run in a session is taking place.
Normally this is not known in advance, unless one has asked for an
additional imposition pass.
which makes be believe that it will not work for normal cases.
However, how about adding a switch to texexec, say --draft, which
will run the document in draftmode until no more runs are needed, and
will then run a final typesetting run without the draftmode. This may
speed up the execution time for long documents significantly.

Re: [NTG-context] [Fwd: [pdftex] pdftex 1.40]
From the texexec man page:
--fast
Typeset the document(s) as fast as possible without causing
problems.
--final
Perform a final run without skipping anything. This option is
typically used with --fast.
So --fast --final could be the pair of switches to add. But I tried
an experiment with mediocre results, using this test file:
== q.tex =
\doifnotmode{*last}{\pdfdraftmode=1}
\starttext
\completecontent
\chapter{A}
\dorecurse{500}{\input tufte\par}
\chapter{B}
\dorecurse{400}{\input tufte\par}
\chapter{C}
\dorecurse{100}{\input tufte\par}
\stoptext
I ran it with the attached Makefile, which produced this output:
ctxtools --purge --all /dev/null
rm -f q.pdf
texexec --verbose --fast --final q.tex run.log
Total runs: 4 (counted by grepping run.log for running: pdfetex)
Draftmode runs: 3 (counted by grepping run.log for pdfdraftmode)
TeXExec | runtime: 7.987485
Then I commented out the first line and reran it:
ctxtools --purge --all /dev/null
rm -f q.pdf
texexec --verbose --fast --final q.tex run.log
Total runs: 4
Draftmode runs: 0 (just to check)
TeXExec | runtime: 8.307869
So the draftmode saves 4% in the runtime. But the fastest is to not
use the draftmode and not use --final (which causes an extra run).
Maybe I missing a trick, but the draftmode didn't save much time. I
guess I should make the test file read in a few huge images?
