[texhax] TeX Live 2009 released

[Karl Berry]

I've made the TeX Live 2009 release official, and updated the web pages
at http://tug.org/texlive.

The installer and package files will propagate through CTAN over the
next few days, from http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive.  (Please
don't all bang on tug.org at once.)

The MacTeX distribution and web pages will likewise be updated on CTAN
and tug over the next couple days.

Production of the TeX Collection DVD will begin asap.  We'll post an ETA
when we have one.

We will resume regular package updates later this week.

10,000 thanks to all involved in this and past releases.  The list of
acknowledgements is too long for this email; it's in the documentation.

Non-technical final note.  I know I'm preaching to the converted here,
but please spread the message where you can: TeX Live development is
sponsored in so many ways by the TeX user groups.  For anyone who's not
already a member, please consider joining TUG (http://tug.org/join.html)
or whatever user group is most appropriate for you
(http://tug.org/usergroups.html).

Happy TeXing,
Karl
