+pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.20 (TeX Live 2019)
 - changes:
+  - new primitive \expanded (from unreleased pdftex 1.50 branch + luatex).
+  - new primitive parameter \pdfomitcharset; zero by default to include
+    the /CharSet value from the PDF output as usual; setting to 1 omits
+    it, since it cannot feasibly be guaranteed correct as the PDF/A-2
+    and /A-3 standards require.

+pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (TeX Live 2018)  (April 14, 2018)
+- changes:
+  - do not hash current directory into PDF ID, for more reproducible builds
+    (pdftex r782).
+  - allow encoding vectors for bitmap PK fonts (r790).
+  - when a non-PDF special is ignored, output a (leading substring of the)
+    special, preceded by "<special> ".
+
+- bugfixes:
+  - \pdfprimitive does nothing, rather than give an error, when given a
+    non-primitive (pdftex r784).
+  - \pdfprimitive does not swallow a following control sequence (pdftex r784).
+  - \ifpdfprimitive now correctly returns true for "\ " (TL r45394).
+  - \pdfglyphtounicode now warns if the argument is outside the valid
+    range for Unicode; the implication is that multiple code points must
+    now be separated by spaces (as has always been documented).
+
+- source: support xpdf-4 by default, or xpdf-3.04, or poppler-0.57.0
+  and older, via #defines.
+  Provide new files:
+  pdftosrc-newpoppler.cc for poppler-0.59.0 upto poppler-0.70.1.
+  pdftosrc-poppler0.71.0 for poppler-0.71.0.
+  pdftosrc-poppler0.72.0 for poppler-0.72.0 upto poppler-0.75.0.
+  pdftosrc-poppler0.76.0 for poppler-0.76.0 and newer. 
+  pdftoepdf-poppler0.68.0.cc for poppler-0.59.0 upto poppler-0.68.0.
+  pdftoepdf-poppler0.69.0.cc for poppler-0.69.0.
+  pdftoepdf-poppler0.70.0.cc for poppler-0.70.0 and poppler-0.70.1.
+  pdftoepdf-poppler0.71.0.cc for poppler-0.71.0.
+  pdftoepdf-poppler0.72.0.cc for poppler-0.72.0 upto poppler-0.74.0.
+  pdftoepdf-poppler0.75.0.cc for poppler-0.75.0.
+  pdftoepdf-poppler0.76.0.cc for poppler-0.76.0 and newer.
+  Note that pdftosrc-*.cc and pdftoepdf-*.cc should be
+  renamed as pdftosrc.cc, and pdftoepdf.cc, respectively, before
+  compilation.
