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).

Files (to appear soon):

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
        * remove inline from dvipng
        * portability fixes in pdftex (avl.h decl.)
        * portability fix in libs/xpdf/xpdf/GlobalParams.h
        * add dependencies to XXXtexdir/XXXtexextra.h in etex.mk,
          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.
        * security fixes for xpdf library (CAN-2004-0888, CAN-2004-0889)
        * "#undef false" and "#undef true" in texk/dvipng/dvipng.h

Changes in the texmf area:
        * update texdoc.php
        * add release-tetex-texmf.txt containing version info
        * update pgf, beamer, pst-3dplot
        * update texdoctk.dat
        * 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
