PDFTeX Homepage

PDFTeX Homepage

[Salman Khilji]

If I google for pdfTeX homepage, then I get the following link:

http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/

However, this must not be the official homepage as it seems to not have been 
updated in a long time and also does not mention anything about the available 
1.20 version.

Also I cannot find the file named pdftexlib.zip as mentioned in the user 
manual on the above site.

Where I can find the latest and greatest versions and documentatio on PDFTeX?

This is, as best I can tell, the official homepage.  See below for why it's 
quite reasonable that it doesn't contain version 1.20.

The official testing page, which contains version 1.20a-rc6 -- you'll note 
that version is still only a release candidate in testing, not an official 
release, which is undoubtably why it's not available on the official 
distribution site -- is at:
   http://pdftex.sarovar.org/

I find very few online references to pdftexlib.zip, and all of them are 
rather old, so I wonder if the files it contains are now included in with 
the rest of the standard distibution rather than being a separate file.

I suspect that the documentation at http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/ 
is as up-to-date as exists.
