v1.0.0 (16th January 2012)
- support a new encryption variation
- bugfix in PageTextRender (thanks Paul Gallagher)
v1.0.0.rc1 (19th December 2011)
- performance optimisations (all by Bernerd Schaefer)
- some improvements to text extraction from form xobjects
- assume invalid font encodings are StandardEncoding
- use binary mode when opening PDFs to stop ruby being helpful and transcoding
bytes for us
v1.0.0.beta1 (6th October 2011)
- ensure inline images that contain "EI" are correctly parsed
(thanks Bernard Schaefer)
- fix parsing of inline image data
v0.12.0.alpha (28th August 2011)
- small breaking changes to the page-based API - it's alpha for a reason
- resource related methods on Page object return raw PDF objects
- if the caller wants the resources wrapped in a more convenient
Ruby object (like PDF::Reader::Font or PDF::Reader::FormXObject) will
need to do so themselves
- add support for RunLengthDecode filters (thanks Bernerd Schaefer)
- add support for standard PDF encryption (thanks Evan Brunner)
- add support for decoding stream with TIFF prediction
- new PDF::Reader::FormXObject class to simplify working with form XObjects
v0.11.0.alpha (19th July 2011)
- introduce experimental new page-based API
- old API is deprecated but will continue to work with no warnings
- add transparent caching of common objects to ObjectHash
Okular is a universal document viewer based on KPDF for KDE 4.
Okular combines the excellent functionalities of KPDF with the versatility
of supporting different kind of documents, like PDF, Postscript, DjVu, CHM,
XPS, ePub and others.
2.08: fixed a bug in one of the tests
2.07: two other common graphics formats (JPG and PNG) are now explicitly
allowed as input files (i.e., not only PDF files are allowed as inputs).
2.06: changed the pdfbook script to include --booklet true as the default
behaviour (thanks to Julien Bossert for this good suggestion).
2.05: changes to the pdfbook script [the --right-edge-binding option is
now redundant, and there's a new --short-edge option for binding along
the short edge of pages instead of the long edge (thanks to Marco Pessotto
for this)]. The --preamble option to pdfjam is enhanced, to allow multiple
instances which get concatenated. Also various minor corrections to man
pages.
2.04: various minor improvements suggested by Debian maintainers (thanks
to Eduard Bloch for these). The main things are: addition of the --version
option; liberalisation of pdfjam to allow files in JPEG format to be
specified as input, as well as PDF (I don't know why or if this might
work! but some people have said it does); tidying of the man files; and
more use of exec, to avoid forking.
2.03: fixed a bug which caused problems when your /bin/sh is the zsh shell;
fixed a bug which prevented the correct representation of many UTF-8
characters in pdfinfo data.
2.02: more progress on portability; introduced the beginnings of a suite
of tests; improvements in the --keepinfo functionality, and to the
treatment of file permissions (thanks to Marco Pessotto for these).
[2010-04-14]
2.01: fixed a silly bug (thoughtless use of "test -a" in a couple of
places) which seriously affected portability. [2010-04-13]
2.00: a major re-design. This is not completely backward-compatible with
previous versions of the pdfnup, pdfjoin and pdf90 scripts. The
differences in interface are few, though.
In addition, various reported bugs have been fixed - many thanks to all
those kind people who reported them (too numerous to list here!)
[2010-03-14]
1.21: bug fixes, including security issues (many thanks to Eduard Bloch,
Robert Buchholz and Martin Vaeth for helpful reports on vulnerabilities
and for kindly contributing patches); the scripts now call for /bin/bash
as interpreter; availability of mktemp is now also assumed; the
Mac OS X droplets now look for pdflatex at (by default)
/usr/texbin/pdflatex [2009-01-19]
Changes:
* output.c (hvpos): recover the old code in hvpos() for japanese
because the changed code leads to incorrect result in some cases.
other cases than japanese are not affected.
* writet1.c (t1_check_unusual_charstring): new fn.
(t1_subset_charstrings): call it. This resolves a bug reported by
Knuth when there is a newline between the /CharStrings and the
following number (dict size).
The package behaves in a similar way as if you provided the
(non-existent) Japanese option to babel so that you can handle
Japanese language text in LaTeX documents. The package requires
a Japanese-enabled TeX system, such as pTeX or jTeX.
Changes:
- New environments: EnvUplevel and EnvFullwidth
- New document class options: cancelspace
nocancelspace
New commands: \cancelspace
\nocancelspace
- New command: \nobonusqformat
- New commands:
\pointsinrange{rangename}
\bonuspointsinrange{rangename}
- New commands:
\settabletotalpoints
\settabletotalbonuspoints
