Hi,

I just have uploaded a new teTeX-beta release which will soon appear on ctan, e.g.
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-src-beta-20021017.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmf-beta-20021017.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmfsrc-beta-20021017.tar.gz
or
  ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-src-beta-20021017.tar.gz
  ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmf-beta-20021017.tar.gz
  ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmfsrc-beta-20021017.tar.gz

Main differences from previous release are the updated xdvik (portability
fixes) and small corrections to the texmf tree. In my last announce,
I wrote that it includes a *prerelease* version of web2c-7.3.8, which
is not true (we have in the last teTeX-beta as well as in this one the
*real* web2c-7.3.8). Nevertheless, there will be a bew web2c release at
about the end of this month.

The ChangeLog entries:

src tarball:
        * update xdvik
        * merge Omega + dvips changes from TeX Live

texmf tarball:
        * update Catalogue
        * update chapterbib.sty
        * Adobe Utopia fonts + support files removed; the fonts are not
        free software
        * listings updated
        * fmtutil.cnf: replaced language.dat by - for formats that don't
        load language.dat
        * new b*.ini files (introduced in last pretest) have loaded
        plain.tex instead of bplain.tex
        * adobe.map / typeface.map updated
