OK, I see it:
http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/NEWS

- pdfTeX can now generate random numbers:
     - \pdfuniformdeviate <count> generates a uniformly distributed random
       integer value between 0 (inclusive) and <count> (exclusive).
     - \pdfnormaldeviate expands to a random integer value with a mean of 0 and
       a unit of 65536.
     - \pdfrandomseed allows access to the current seed value.
     - \pdfsetrandomseed <count> sets the random seed to a specific value.
