[Ina Dau]

Hi David,


Thanks for the upload. I've installed the new version and updated the
catalogue repository.

The changes should become available on the mirrors within the next 24
hours. Then I will post the announcement.

> epstopdf-base package is called by the core graphics package in pdftex
> and luatex to automate conversion of EPS files to PDF before being
> included into the document.
> 
> The full package (which may be called directly) has many options which
> are not used by the core processing, and handling the options caused
> many packages to be loaded.

> Previously

> \documentclass{article}

> loaded the packages

> infwarerr, grfext, kvdefinekeys, ltxcmds, kvoptions, keyval,
> kvsetkeys, etexcmds, ifluatex, iftex, pdftexcmds
> 
> The new release avoids loading packages when epstopdf-base is loaded
> without options and so none of the above list will be included
> allowing the core graphics package to only rely on this epstopdf
> bundle, and also the Lua portion of pdftexcmds when used with LuaTeX.
> All these packages are still loaded by \usepackage{epstopdf} for
> compatibility.
