- Fixed some minor bugs, mostly with hz - The info line "output format initialized to PDF/DVI" isn't shown anymore, as this info wasn't reliable (bug 112). - Now the PDF-related statistics (PDF objects...) in the .log file is only shown in PDF output mode. It start with a line "PDF statistics:". - \pdfimageresolution is not limited to 2400 [dpi] anymore, can now be between 0 and 65535 [dpi]. - pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.00pl2 - pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.8, which fixes some png-related bugs.
