CTAN update: pdfjam

Reuben Thomas submitted an update to the

                   pdfjam

package.

Version:  4.00
License:  gpl2+

Summary description:  Shell scripts interfacing to pdfpages

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 * Major version bumped to 4.00 to reflect major refactoring, and
   some minor backwards-incompatible changes.

 * New co-maintainer.

 * Several minor bug fixes.

 * New option `--builddir path` to build in `path` instead of a temporary
   directory. Overwrites files in `path` without further notice.

 * In the constructed tex file, included files are now referenced as
   `source-1.pdf` etc. instead of `/tmp/pdfjam-XXXXXX/source-1.pdf`.
   This improves reproducibility and allows referencing with hyperref.

 * Put every `--preamble` argument on distinct line in tex file.

 * Automatically add braces around values where necessary. Thus, one can now
   write `--papersize 7cm,3cm` and `--picturecommand '\put(20,20){Text}'`.

 * Support libpaper1 in addition to libpaper2 to obtain system default paper.

 * Support `--paper a4` etc. as alternative to `--paper a4paper`.

 * Support `--papersize 595,842` as alternative to `--papersize 595bp,842bp`.
   Prevents people adding unit `pt` where they actually mean `bp`.

 * Mirror page when `--papersize` and `--landscape` given.

 * Renames duplex edge flipping options `--longedge` to `--otheredge` and
   `--shortedge` to `--no-otheredge` to reflect their actual behaviour.

 * Support `--keepinfo --pdfauthor ''` to discard only the corresponding field
   while keeping the remaining pdfinfo.

 * Adds lots of regression and integration tests.
