+Subject: ANNOUNCE: Xpdf 4.04 - a PDF viewer and related tools
+
+Glyph & Cog, LLC is pleased to announce a new version of Xpdf, the
+open source Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer. The Xpdf project
+also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and
+various other utilities.
+
+Xpdf uses the Qt toolkit and runs on Linux and Windows. The
+non-graphical components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) run on Linux,
+Unix, Windows, MacOSX, and pretty much any other system with a decent
+C++ compiler.
+
+4.04 is primarily a bug fix release. There are some new features:
+
+* XpdfReader improvements:
+ - Implemented selection extension via shift-click, and word/line
+ selection via double/triple click.
+ - Added default bindings for ctrl-mousewheel-up/down to zoom in/out.
+ - Added a help menu item that shows all of the key bindings.
+
+* Various new command line options for pdftotext, pdftohtml, pdftoppm,
+ pdftopng, and xpdf.
+
+See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list of changes.
+
+Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to
+compile for Linux and Windows.
+
+More information, source code, and precompiled binaries are on the
+xpdf web page:
