+        * From M. Holger: add QPDF::newReserved as a better alternative to
+        QPDFObjectHandle::newReserved. The operation of creating a new
+        reserved object fits better in the QPDF API. The old call just
+        delegates to the new one.

         * Allow QPDFJob's workflow to be split into a reading phase and a
         writing phase to allow the caller to operate on the QPDF object
