 - changes:
+  - new primitive \showstream to redirect \show output.
+  - new primitives \partokenname, \partokencontext to control \par insertion.
+  - support structured destinations from PDF 2.0.

+- changes:
+  - for letterspaced fonts, use explicit \fontdimen6 if specified.
+  - always start a warning at the beginning of a line.
+
+- bugfixes:
+  - make .fmt files sharable between 4/8-byte architectures.
+  - for \letterspacefont, avoid problem with single-character control sequence.
+  - for characters with autokern (\pdfappendkern and \pdfprependkern),
+    still do protrusion; likewise autokern implicit and explicit hyphens.

+- changes:
+  - new primitives \pdfrunninglinkoff and \pdfrunninglinkon; e.g., for
+    disabling generation of links in headers and footers.
+  - warn instead of aborting when "\pdfendlink ended up in
+    different nesting level than \pdfstartlink". 
+  - dump \pdfglyphtounicode assignments in fmt file.
+  - ttf2afm outputs name information.
+
+- bugfixes:
+  - avoid crash in unusual autoexpand cases.
+
+- source: poppler support removed, as it was too hard to keep in sync
+  with upstream. In native TL, pdftex has always used libs/xpdf,
+  which is cut-down and adapted code from xpdf.

   - new primitive \pdfmajorversion; this merely changes the version
     number in the PDF output, has no effect on PDF content.

   - new \input{...} group-delimited syntax (cross-engine).
