You + would have to write code specifically to do that, so if you're not + sure, then you shouldn't have to worry. + + - ``QPDFObjectHandle`` will be implicitly convertible to ``bool`` + with undefined objects evaluating to ``false``. This can simplify + error handling and will facilitate use of ``QPDFObjectHandle`` + with some newer standard library constructs. This change won't + affect any existing code unless you have written your own + conversion methods to/from ``QPDFObjectHandle``. In that case, + it's possible that the new qpdf-provided conversion may override + your conversion. + .. x.y.z: not yet released 11.4.0: not yet released @@ -26,6 +43,10 @@ For a detailed list of changes, please see the file - Add ``QPDF::newReserved`` as a better alternative to ``QPDFObjectHandle::newReserved``. + - If you add an uninitialized ``QPDFObjectHandle`` to an array, + qpdf will throw a ``logic_error``.
