I saw this post on comp.text.tex and found a few interesting tidbits that people might be interested in, especially Knuth.
- Donald E. Knuth reports that a new, corrected reprint of Digital
Typography is now available. He writes, "I must say that I'm enormously
happy to hold it in my hands, because hundreds of things that readers
pointed out in the first printing have now been corrected." The best way
to ensure that you get the new, corrected printing is to order from the
publisher.

- As mentioned in the last newsletter, new corrected printings of Computers
and Typesetting are also available. Knuth writes "...the books themselves
are significantly better in hundreds of small ways. I went through every
page very carefully and introduced many refinements, which have made me
extremely happy with the result. I'm now able to replace my personal desk
copies, in which hundreds of handwritten notes had been scrawled since the
Millennium edition came out, by fresh versions that are essentially
perfect (as far as I know). This is especially true of Volume B, because
important updates to the TeX software that were made in 2002 and 2007 have
never before been available in print." See the section entitled Spiffy New
Printings at

- TeX Live '12 is now frozen (svn revision 26895). Public release will occur
in a couple of weeks, and DVD will follow soon thereafter.
