qpdf-11.9.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

11.9.0: February 24, 2024

CLI Enhancements

• Add new command-line arguments --file and --range which can be used within --pages in place of positional arguments. Allow --file to be used inside of --overlay and --underlay as well. These new options can be freely intermixed with positional arguments.

• Allow --overlay and --underlay to be repeated. They may appear multiple times on the command-line and will be stacked in the order in which they appear. In QPDFJob JSON (see QPDFJob: a Job-Based Interface), the overlay and underlay keys may contain arrays. For compatibility, they may also contain a single dictionary.

Library Enhancements

• Add file(), range(), and password() to QPDFJob::PagesConfig as an alternative to pageSpec.

• Add QPDFObjectHandle::writeJSON to write the JSON representation of the object directly to a pipeline. This is much faster than calling QPDFObjectHandle::getJSON.

Other Enhancements

• There have been non-user-visible improvements to the reliability of the JSON parser. The JSON parser has been added to fuzz testing with OSS-Fuzz.
