10.0.2: October 27, 2020

        Bug Fixes

            When concatenating content streams, as with --coalesce-contents, there were cases in which qpdf would merge two lexical tokens together, creating invalid results. A newline is now inserted between merged content streams if one is not already present.

            Fix an internal error that could occur when copying foreign streams whose stream data had been replaced using a stream data provider if those streams had indirect filters or decode parameters. This is a rare corner case.

            Ensure that the caller's locale settings do not change the results of numeric conversions performed internally by the qpdf library. Note that the problem here could only be caused when the qpdf library was used programmatically. Using the qpdf CLI already ignored the user's locale for numeric conversion.

            Fix several instances in which warnings were not suppressed in spite of --no-warn and/or errors or warnings were written to standard output rather than standard error.

            Fixed a memory leak that could occur under specific circumstances when --object-streams=generate was used.

            Fix various integer overflows and similar conditions found by the OSS-Fuzz project. 

        Enhancements

            New option --warning-exit-0 causes qpdf to exit with a status of 0 rather than 3 if there are warnings but no errors. Combine with --no-warn to completely ignore warnings.

            Performance improvements have been made to QPDF::processMemoryFile.

            The OpenSSL crypto provider produces more detailed error messages. 

        Build Changes

            The option --disable-rpath is now supported by qpdf's ./configure script. Some distributions' packaging standards recommended the use of this option.

            Selection of a printf format string for long long has been moved from ifdefs to an autoconf test. If you are using your own build system, you will need to provide a value for LL_FMT in libqpdf/qpdf/qpdf-config.h, which would typically be "%lld" or, for some Windows compilers, "%I64d".

            Several improvements were made to build-time configuration of the OpenSSL crypto provider.

            A nearly stand-alone Linux binary zip file is now included with the qpdf release. This is built on an older (but supported) Ubuntu LTS release, but would work on most reasonably recent Linux distributions. It contains only the executables and required shared libraries that would not be present on a minimal system. It can be used for including qpdf in a minimal environment, such as a docker container. The zip file is also known to work as a layer in AWS Lambda.

            QPDF's automated build has been migrated from Azure Pipelines to GitHub Actions. 

        Windows-specific Changes

            The Windows executables distributed with qpdf releases now use the OpenSSL crypto provider by default. The native crypto provider is also compiled in and can be selected at runtime with the QPDF_CRYPTO_PROVIDER environment variable.

            Improvements have been made to how a cryptographic provider is obtained in the native Windows crypto implementation. However mostly this is shadowed by OpenSSL being used by default.
