+          Improvements to handling of objects in PDF files that are
+          not of the expected type. In most cases, qpdf will be able
+          to warn for such cases rather than fail with an exception.
+          Previous versions of qpdf would sometimes fail with errors
+          such as &ldquo;operation for dictionary object attempted on
+          object of wrong type&rdquo;. This situation should be mostly
+          or entirely eliminated now.

+          New API for working with PDF content streams at a lexical
+          level. The new class
+          <classname>QPDFObjectHandle::TokenFilter</classname> allows
+          the developer to provide token handlers. Token filters can be
+          used with several different methods in
+          <classname>QPDFObjectHandle</classname> as well as with a
+          lower-level interface. See comments in

+          examples <filename>examples/pdf-filter-tokens.cc</filename>
+          and <filename>examples/pdf-count-strings.cc</filename> for
+          details.
