This release has the same status as the last one (almost release
candidate). It fixes a few issues that came upwith the last release,
so hopefully, this compiles on more platforms.
Feedback from the last release is still low (I did receive a few bug
reports and even less "success" messages), so I encourage you very much
to test and send me your results.
The archives not contain a release-...txt file containing the version info
(in this release it is 2.99.2.20041106-beta in all 3 archives). This
might help to keep track of versions if only the unpacked archive is
available. The file from src gets installed via "make install" into
$TEXMFMAIN. The -beta is now in the end which gives a new scheme for
the filenames (hope that does not cause any major trouble).

Changes in the src area:
* add release-tetex-src.txt containing version info
* Makefile.in: install release-tetex-src.txt into $TEXMFMAIN
* temp. texinfo fix: add strdup.h, protect LC_MESSAGES with #ifdef in makeinfo.c
* aleph fix: alephbis.c now using xstrdup() more careful
about using mkstemp()
* xdvi fix: xstrdup() in dvi-draw.c; fix for systems without regex.h
* use CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh5 on ULTRIX (tetex.ac)
* updmap now reports "Map file links"; now compatible with syntax
implemented by Fabrice' perl version
* xpdf-3.00pl1.patch (and revert previous "unofficial" fix for
buffer overflows)
* fix "No selection was made" error in texdoctk
* ^L cannot be used outside of comments in Makefiles
* xdvik update (22.84.4 -> 22.84.5) fixing a segfault

pdfetex.mk and pdftex.mk
* "flex -l" only if flex supports --version
* texconfig / fmtutil now only rebuild *existing* format files if
pdftexconfig.tex changes (argh, I'd like to see pdftex.cfg
back!). Rebuilding with --all was too much for TeX Live which
builds format files only on their first use.

* "#undef false" and "#undef true" in texk/dvipng/dvipng.h

* update pgf, beamer, pst-3dplot

* now really add bibtopic (fixed version from Stefan)
* added lineno (and ltabptch)
* fix mfpic package (grafbase.mf was in wrong location)
* update layouts, acronym, Catalogue
* update tex-refs
* update pstricks-add
* norbib and dk-bib added
* update texdoc.php
* update typeface.map (fontname)
* update doc/index.php and doc/index.html

Happy testing + have fun!
