Hello

I am just about to get familiar with TeX Live 2004. 
The server based TeX Live 2003 Installation (about 200 Boxes
with linux and windows) I have to maintain should be switched to the 
new distribution next month.

Is there anywhere a document like 'Whats new...' or 'Things that 
changed...'.

The documents tug.org/texlive/mapenc.html and 
tug.org/texlive/windows.html give some specific hints.

But there seem to be more changes.

Let me point to an minor problem: 
Obviously the place for scripts (perl, ruby, java...) changed
to $TEXMF/{scripts}. But the file texmf.cnf does not reflect this:

% Perl, Python, Ruby, Java scripts (Win32 only)
% This is used by the irun.exe program which simulates a symlink
% but also makes use of kpathsea to retrieve the target
PERLINPUTS =			.;$TEXMF/{perl,context,}//
PYTHONINPUTS =			.;$TEXMF/{python,}//
RUBYINPUTS =			.;$TEXMF/{ruby,context}//
JAVAINPUTS =			.;$TEXMF/{java,}//


For now I changed JAVAINPUTS to  .;$TEXMF/{scripts,}// to get
ppower4 working.

Thank you for TeX Live 2004
