This comment expands all tabs using an 8-character tab-width. You
should ignore this commit when using git blame or use git blame -w.
In the early days, I used to use tabs where possible for indentation,
since emacs did this automatically. In recent years, I have switched
to only using spaces, which means qpdf source code has been a mixture
of spaces and tabs. I have avoided cleaning this up because of not
wanting gratuitous whitespaces change to cloud the output of git
blame, but I changed my mind after discussing with users who view qpdf
source code in editors/IDEs that have other tab widths by default and
in light of the fact that I am planning to start applying automatic
code formatting soon.
Clarify that names are to appear in canonical form with PDF escaping
resolved when used in non-parsing QPDFObjectHandle APIs and their C
API counterparts. See https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf/discussions/625.
* Handle error conditions that occur when using the object handle
interfaces. In the past, some exceptions were not correctly
converted to errors or warnings.
* Add more detailed information to qpdf-c.h
* Make it possible to work more explicitly with uninitialized objects
Setting encryption permissions for R >= 3 set permission bits in
groups corresponding to menu options in Acrobat 5. The new API allows
the bits to be set individually.
For non-encrypted files, determinstic ID generation uses file contents
instead of timestamp and file name. At a small runtime cost, this
enables generation of the same /ID if the same inputs are converted in
the same way multiple times.
Significantly improve the code's use of off_t for file offsets, size_t
for memory sizes, and integer types in cases where there has to be
compatibility with external interfaces. Rework sections of the code
that would have prevented qpdf from working on files larger than 2 (or
maybe 4) GB in size.
