  Indeed it does.

  As a matter of fact I retained only "Repository" and "Bug tracker"
  because of (arguable) redundancy.  I hope you don't mind.

 Our .tds.zip checker is too stupid to notice such subtleties  :-\
 (Personally I do not really mind, but why not call the file in
 the .tds.zip "README.md", too?)

 Feedback to submitter:

 However, Manfred's clever new checker detected that the
 following URLs (from README[.md]) have become stale:

     http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/JDALLMAN/hbp_403.zip
     http://www.activestate.com/support/faqs/win32/perlwin32faq4.html
     http://www.activestate.com/support/faqs/win32/perlwin32faq1.html
     http://www.ozemail.com.au/~geoffk/pdfencrypt/pdf_sec.ps

 So maybe try to find some replacement in the future ...

 And:  We still like to have a top level directory "thumbpdf/" for the
 "unpacked" part in thumbpdf.zip ...  ;-)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The update has been installed on our central server and will
 be announced about 24 hours later, when the mirrors have had
 enough time to pick up the new files.


       Kind regards,
    Petra Rübe-Pugliese
     for the CTAN team
