2.3
===
* Add ability to delete, replace, and swap objects using indirect
object references. This, along with the existing ability to
install new indirect objects, significantly increases range of
possible modifications.
* QPDFWriter: be able to save to a memory buffer
* Provide an API for returning the keys of a dictionary as a
std::map. Do the corresponding thing for an array. Provide an
example program that does dictionary and array copies perhaps as
part of the replace, swap, delete example.
* Provide an example of using replace and swap. Maybe.
* Figure out a way to update the C API with something that can
update dictionary keys at least with strings. Make sure it is
possible to implement something akin to pdf-mod-info in C.
* Fix bug: this->encrypt_metadata is not set when
copyEncryptionParameters is used.
* If possible implement the other encrypted file types as reported in
bug 3173659. See ../misc/encrypted-3173659/details.txt for a
detailed description of the problems and an extraction of all the
test files.
* Add C API for writing to memory if possible

code to handle it properly. In QPDF_encryption.cc, search for
cf_file. Remove exception thrown if cf_file is different from
cf_stream, and write code in the stream decryption section to use
cf_file instead of cf_stream. In general, add interfaces to
get the list of embedded files and to extract them. To handle
general embedded files associated with the whole document, follow

embedded files associated with the whole document, follow root ->
/Names -> /EmbeddedFiles -> /Names to get to the file specification
dictionaries. Then, in each file specification dictionary, follow
/EF -> /F to the actual stream. There may be other places file
specification dictionaries may appear, and there are also /RF keys
with related files, so reread section 3.10 carefully.
* The description of Crypt filters is unclear with respect to how to
use them to override /StmF for specific streams. I'm not sure

Bug fix: when preserving existing encryption on encrypted
files with cleartext metadata, older qpdf versions would
generate password-protected files with no valid password.
This operation now works. This bug only affected files
created by copying existing encryption parameters; explicit
encryption with specification of cleartext metadata worked
before and continues to work.

Enhance <classname>QPDFWriter</classname> with a new
constructor that allows you to delay the specification of the
output file. When using this constructor, you may now call
<function>QPDFWriter::setOutputFilename</function> to specify
the output file, or you may use
<function>QPDFWriter::setOutputMemory</function> to cause
<classname>QPDFWriter</classname> to write the resulting PDF
file to a memory buffer. You may then use
<function>QPDFWriter::getBuffer</function> to retrieve the
memory buffer.
