All,

The enhancements to the Linux runtime are probably of more interest to 
folk porting server applications; I am particularly happy to see 
recvmmsg() and sendmmsg() go in.

It might also be wise to emulate the getrandom() API, even if this is 
only in terms of wrapping the relevant sysctl for now.

It got pulled. Of course, support for PDF's forms varies greatly outside 
of official Adobe product.

A better alternative might be the MuPDF backend for KDE Okular, or for 
Zathura, neither of which are packaged  anywhere in the Linux world yet. 
Of course, this could be built natively, without needing the Linux 
runtime support.

I've noticed that rendering performance seems disappointing in the open 
source Linux PDF readers, as compared to OS X Preview.app on similar 
hardware.
