pdftex is now 1.30.5 and TeXLive 2005 was frozen at 1 November 2005.
In addition, some security updates went into XPDF (used by PDFTeX) thus 
an update would be nice.
(metapost 0.901 is of cause also a welcome update.)

Besides those, I'm really longing for newer Latin Modern fonts and 
updated ConTeXt, which makes it easier for me to have my macros working 
at other computers w/o creating a $HOME/texmf of 136 MB every time ;)

Can you add to teTeX ConTeXt's cont-ext.zip (extra packages), which 
currently contains t-lettrine (also available separately on 
CTAN:tex/context/contrib)?

Thanks for the great, already quite long maintained TeX distribution!

Tobias
