Changes for version 2.034 - 2019-06-29
- SUPPORTED PERL VERSIONS: Starting with this release, PDF::API2 will support major Perl versions released in the past six years, plus the major release before that one. This should provide backward compatibility for the life of most LTS server distributions, while eliminating the need to troubleshoot warnings and bugs that only show up in increasingly-ancient versions of Perl.
- For this release, it means that the minimum supported Perl is 5.18, which was first released on 2013-05-18.
- Add support for cross-reference streams using 64-bit field widths.
- When the utf8 flag is set for a PDF string, automatically encode it as UCS-16BE instead of requiring a separate flag to be set in the PDF object. This resolves [RT #33497] and [RT #117031] in addition to making the code easier to maintain.
- [RT #126274] Fix alignment when using UniFont with text_center or text_right when all characters are in the same block.
- [RT #121911] Fix adding pages to a document structure with nested Pages elements. This included a fairly substantial rewrite of the relevant code, so please report any new bugs related to adding pages (report and troubleshooting by Vadim Repin).
- Renamed pdfile() to pdf_file() in PDF::API2::Annotation and PDF::API2::Outline. The old name continues to work, but is deprecated.
