v8.1.1

  • Fixed a Unicode test that randomly fails on Windows.

v8.1.0

  • Not released due to build failure.

  • Fixed sdist, which was mysteriously missing some files that were previously included. #490

  • Some documentation and README updates to improve visibility of release notes. #488

  • Fixed issue where an output file could be corrupted if the process was interrupted while writing. #462

v8.0.0

  • master branch renamed to main.

  • QPDF 11.5.0 is now required.

  • Some other Python dependencies have been updated.

  • Dropped setuptools-scm in favor of a manually set version number and script to update it. This change was necessary to support delegating part of the build to Cirrus CI.

  • Adjusted stream preview (with __repr__) so it does not attempt to decompress very long streams.

  • Fixed error when attempting to convert XMP metadata to DocumentInfo when the author was omitted.

  • Added a method to add items to the document table of contents.

  • Previously, we built all Apple Silicon (aarch64) wheels as a manual step, causing errors and delays in their release compared to other wheels. We now build them automatically on Cirrus CI.

  • Changed to building manylinux-aarch64 wheels on Cirrus CI.

  • Since Pillow (Python imaging library), a major dependency, has dropped support for 32-bit wheels on Windows and Linux, we have done the same. You can still build 32-bit versions from source.

  • Some documentations changes and improvements. Thanks @m-holger.
