This is a maintenance release with mostly bugfixes.

|   - partial support for TTC
|   - enable mktexpk by default

|   - \pdfshellescape is 2 if restricted shell escapes are enabled.
| - bugfixes:
|   - segfault when processing certain TTF fonts
|   - jpg image resolution not set in some cases
|   - \pdfobj file {foo} for files foo that don't end with '\n'
|   - bugfix #4289: \primitive\pdfoutput cannot be queried

there are still some minor bugs which are not included in 1.40.10, since
this release is to be compatible with TL09.
