> fmtutil in perl, which also changes its operation mode in the same
> way updmap was change to the "multi" updmap 2 years ago. That means,
> from now on *all* fmtutil.cnf files are read.
> That also means that the mechanism currently in use
>         fmtutil-local.cnf
> in TEXMFLOCAL/web2c wil lnot be supported anymore, if you have
> any settings there they need to be moved over.

> Far from being as oftne used as multi-updmap, I don't expect
> too much problems with it. But there might be a few bugs and
> incompatibilities, please report them here.
>
> ALso note for those integrators, that the format of the output
> has changed.
