This is version 6.9 of my package `hyperref'
(CTAN location: macros/latex/contrib/supported/hyperref). 

This is a bug-fixing release. The only addition is
a command to get at Acrobat Reader/Exchange
menus, as in

 \Acrobatmenu{FullScreen}{Go to full screen mode}

or
 
 \Acrobatmenu{Quit}{Close down Acrobat}

which may or may not be of interest. I have listed all the available
commands in the manual (which has been fleshed out a bit more).

hyperref is a LaTeX package which aims to redefine all
cross-referencing commands and overload them with \special commands
which can be used in hypertext products. Package options are available
to tailor the code for the following drivers:

 [hypertex] The conventions of the HyperTeX project (implemented by
        xdvi and OzTeX)
 [dvips]    Acrobat "pdfmark" commands for Acrobat Distiller (using dvips)
 [dvipsone] Acrobat "pdfmark" commands for Acrobat Distiller (using dvipsone)
 [dviwindo] Y&Y Windows dvi  viewer
 [pdftex]   Han The Thanh's TeX variant which writes PDF direct
 [dvipdf]   Sergey Lesenko's dvi to pdf program
 [latex2html] provides some compatibility with LaTeX2html

(`pdfmark' and `nativepdf' are aliases for `dvips')

Drivers for TrueTeX and Textures will be added later, possibly.

Indexing and `back-referencing' work, as do arbitrary point
to point links, and network URLs.

There are problems remaining to be fixed one day in understanding and
coping with *all* the bibliography packages out there (but you should
use natbib, its excellent)

And of course finding better ways to avoid the fragility of
overloading some low-level LaTeX code which could change at any time
would be a good thing.
