qpdf-10.5.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[Bruce Dubbs]

• Add documentation link to top-level README

• Discontinue inclusion of the pre-built documentation in the source distribution. Consult the packaging documentation in the manual for details. The file README-doc.txt is installed in the doc directory by default and contains information that users will need to know to find the documentation.

• C API: clarify documentation around string lengths. Add two new methods: qpdf_oh_get_binary_string_value and qpdf_oh_new_binary_string to make the need to handle the length and data separate in more explicit in cases in which the string data may contain embedded null characters.

• C API: simplify error handling for uncaught errors (never in a released version) and clarify documentation in qpdf-c.h around error handling. See qpdf-c.h for details, including how to check for errors and the new function qpdf_silence_errors.

• C API: expose getTypeCode and getTypeName from QPDFObjectHandle.

• C API: add functions for working with stream data. Search for "STREAM FUNCTIONS" in qpdf-c.h.

• QPDFObjectHandle object types have been moved from QPDFObject::object_type_e to qpdf_object_type_e (defined in Constants.h). Old values are available for backward compatibility.

• Add Pl_Buffer::getMallocBuffer() to initialize a buffer with malloc in support of the C API

• Add several functions to the C API for working with pages. C wrappers around several of the "Legacy" page operations from QPDFObjectHandle.hh have been added. See "PAGE FUNCTIONS" in qpdf-c.h for details.

• Convert documentation from docbook to reStructuredText/Sphinx.

• Handle bitstream overflow errors more gracefully.

• C API: add qpdf_get_object_by_id, qpdf_make_indirect_object, and qpdf_replace_object, exposing the corresponding methods in QPDF and QPDFObjectHandle.

• Add missing QPDF_DLL to QPDFObjectHandle::addTokenFilter so that it is actually accessible as part of the public interface as intended.

• C API: Overhaul how errors are handle the C API's object handle interfaces. Clarify documentation regarding object accessors and how type errors and warnings are handled. Many cases that used to crash code that used the C API can now be trapped and will be written stderr if not trapped. See qpdf-c.h for details.

• C API: Add qpdf_oh_new_uninitialized to explicitly create uninitialized object handles.

• Add new error code qpdf_e_object that is used for exceptions (including warnings) that are caused by using QPDFObjectHandle methods on object handles of the wrong type.

• C API: Add qpdf_oh_is_initialized.

• C API: Add qpdf_get_last_string_length to return the length of the last string returned. This is necessary in order to fully retrieve values of strings that may contain embedded null characters.

• C API: Add qpdf_oh_new_object to clone an object handle.
