= Prawn: Fast, Nimble PDF Generation For Ruby
Prawn is a PDF writing library for Ruby designed to be tiny, fast, and nimble,
just like the majestic sea creature.
Development on this library was initially made possible thanks to
the many people who donated to the Ruby Mendicant project:
http://rubymendicant.wikidot.com
The project is currently maintained by Gregory Brown, with lots of help from
Prawn's core developers and the community.
The PDF::Reader library implements a PDF parser conforming as much as
possible to the PDF specification from Adobe.
It provides programmatic access to the contents of a PDF file with
a high degree of flexibility.
The PDF 1.7 specification is a weighty document and not all aspects
are currently supported. I welcome submission of PDF files that
exhibit unsupported aspects of the spec to assist with improving out
support.

Note that the versioning scheme has changed.
Changes:
- \cclp, \zccup, \zcclp are moved from musixpoi.tex to musixtex.tex.
- musixpoi.tex does not work since T.111.
- musixmad.tex is inessential for typesetting musixdoc.tex, thus
excluded from musixdoc.sty (see the next item)
- the stem length of \metron (at T.113 manual section 2.17.3:
Metronomic indications) is too short when musixadd.tex/musixmad.tex
is excluded.
- spacing problem when you change the music size. (\clef@skip\z@)
- in \ttie and \tleg definition, #1 isn't braced in the expansion
which causes a problem at ID>9.
* \def\ttie#1{\let\T@i\@c \t@slur{-\p@ne}{#1}\@ne}
* \def\tleg#1{\let\T@i\@c \tslur{#1}\@ne}
- Updated musixdoc.pdf and its source code.
- Included the repository of music-notation mistakes, contributed by
Jean-Pierre Coulon.
- Create an install manual for MiKTeX on Win32: mxinsuse.{pdf|tex}.
- utility: add flip.exe, flip.txt to musixtexadd folder instead of
former utod.exe and dtou.exe (they don't work in XP). Run flip.exe
on musixtex.bat.
- Changing directory structure. Add-in tex files are located in
musixtexadd directory.
* musixlyr (by Rainer Dunker)
* musixps (by Stanislav Kneifl)
- Added some well-known add-ins to musixtexadd directory.
* curly.tex (by Mthimkhulu Molekwa,19 May 1999)
* musixdbr.tex (by Rainer Dunker, 23 February 2002)
* musixtmr.tex & musixesf.tex (by Hiroaki Morimoto, updated 2009-10-15)
* tuplet.tex. (by Col. G. L. Sicherman. 2003-05-17)
- Include the contents of following packages.
* PostScript Type1 fonts. (by Uchiyama)
* musixlyr ver.2.1c. (by Rainer Dunker)
* musixps ver.0.92a. (by Stanislav Kneifl)
- \Ioctfin[up | down] do not work when \sepbarrules is assigned.
musixtex.tex line 2259, \def\rul@sep#1
- Correction of a bug in the definition of choir bracket (l.1688-1698)
- Added following macros.
* \lwp
* \rwp
* \lwpp
* \rwpp
* \lhp
* \rhp
* \lhpp
* \rhpp
- all-new registers allocation routines, ready for
12<n<100 instruments
6<n<100 128th beams
6<n<100 256th beams
4<n<100 groups
12<n<100 font-based slurs (independent of the number of instruments)
6<n<100 octlines
6<n<100 trills (MusiXTeX trills only. MusicTeX's legacy "trilles" are
out of scope.) with e-TeX.
Changes:
-- fixed typo in trimmarks
-- changed \chapter (and chapter like titles), \section's, \part
and \book such that a non-zero \parskip no longer interfer
with the title layout.
-- yet another fix for the reimplemented page notes. Now 'x x'
only result in one line break not several.
Changelog:
---- Version 6.3.4 - 11/05/11 ----
Pseudo-decorations 'linebreak' and 'decosep' added
(proof of concept - not documented).
Error when escape sequences in guitar chord or annotations.
Bad tempo since previous release.
Remove the 'tex' sequences '\o', \O', '\cc' and '\cC'.
---- Version 6.3.3 - 11/05/10 ----
Ignore the normal newlines when '!' found as newline and abc-version < 2.0.
Add some compose sequences from X11 (including \O:, \U:, \O" and \U")
(reported by Nils Liberg).
Change/add some rfc1345 escape sequences.
Bad / no output of the '=' of the tempo by lack of font.
This did the program to crash when no title and SVG output
(reported by Nils Liberg).
Cleanly close a tune no blank line before next tune
(reported by Nils Liberg).
Crash when X: in tune followed by %%text.
Bad page header/footer in SVG output file.
Fix standard C library problem (in isupper) with some systems/compilers
(reported by Nils Liberg).
Bad treatment in %%titlecaps.
Optimize the size of the SVG output file.
Support for line width in SVG output.
---- Version 6.3.2 - 11/05/03 ----
Accept %%EPS when SVG output.
Add the '-v' command flag (SVG output per page).

Bug fixes in the svg PS interpreter.
for full details):
1) New printers supported in this release:
- Canon inkjet printers (many):
- Epson inkjet printers (many):
- Dye sublimation printers:
Kodak EasyShare G600 Printer Dock
Kodak PD-4000
Kodak PD-6000
Kodak Photo Printer
Kodak Photo Printer 500
Kodak Printer Dock Plus
Kodak Printer Dock Plus S3
2) Corrected color matching profile used for Mac OS X 10.5.x.
sRGB will now be used instead of Generic RGB. Users with work-
flows dependant on the previously used Generic RGB can select
this color profile in the print window by using ColorSync to
choose the profile rather than using VendorMatching.
9) Corrected base density for Photo Paper on printers using Claria
ink (use 20% less ink). The default results in heavy ink
puddling in some cases.
12) A problem whereby certain malformed PPD files would cause the
PostScript driver to crash has been fixed. In addition, the
PostScript driver now runs considerably faster.
Simply changing \parskip and \parindent leaves a layout that is
untidy; this package (though it is no substitute for a
properly-designed class) helps alleviate this untidiness

* Changed license to Apache License 2.0, now completely Open Source
without any charging. Feel free to continue or for this project.
* Empty cells now collapse
* Fixed a typo in code for reading a "\b" escape character in strings.
* Improved __repr__ in FloatObject.
* Fixed a bug in reading octal escape sequences in strings.
* Added getWidth and getHeight methods to the RectangleObject class.
* Fixed compatibility warnings with Python 2.4 and 2.5.
* Added addBlankPage and insertBlankPage methods on PdfFileWriter class.
* Fixed a bug with circular references in page's object trees (typically
annotations) that prevented correctly writing out a copy of those pages.
* New merge page functions allow application of a transformation matrix.
* Support for colour separated PDF output and other optimisations and
features for high-quality printing, including enforcement of colour
models for CMYK, RGB, and "spot colours"
* Long table optimisations are now turned on by default. Previously,
documents with very long tables spanning many pages could take a long
time to create because we considered the whole table to work out row
and column sizes. A patch was submitted some time ago to fix this
controlled by a flag in the rl_config file, but this was set 'off'
for compatibility. Users are often not aware of this and we haven't
found any real-world cases where the new layout technique works badly,
so we are turning this behaviour on.
* New support for QR barcodes.
