Rather than keeping a list of buffers for every write, accumulate
bytes in a single buffer, doubling the size of the buffer when needed
to accommodate new data.
This is not the best possible implementation, but the change was
implemented in this way to avoid changing the shape of Pl_Buffer and
thus breaking backward compatibility.
There were a few places in the code that were checking that a pointer
wasn't null before deleting it, even though C++ has always allowed
delete 0. Most of the code did not perform these checks.
If we are unable to filter a page's content streams, don't attempt to
remove objects from the page's resource dictionary. Also provide a
command line option to suppress resource removal in case we ever need
this as a workaround for some bug or broken PDF files.
If parsing content streams is treated as a warning, there is no way
for a caller to know if a parsing operation has failed. This is very
dangerous and will likely result in data loss when token filters are
parser callbacks are in use.
It's not really a shallow copy. It just doesn't cross indirect object
boundaries. The old implementation had a bug that would cause multiple
shallow copies of the same object to share memory, which was not the
intention.
This is the beginning of higher-level API support using helper
classes. The goal is to be able to add more helpers without continuing
to pollute QPDF's and QPDFObjectHandle's public interfaces.
The special case around name token was not reachable. This would only
affect constructors of name tokens that were represented in
non-canonical form such as with a hex substitution for a printable
character. The error was harmless but still a bug.
Remove calls to assertPageObject(). All cases in the library that
called assertPageObject() work fine if you don't call
assertPageObject() because nothing assumes anything that was being
checked by that call. Removing the calls enables more files to be
successfully processed.
Prior to this fix, if there was a loop detected in following /Prev
pointers in xref streams/tables, it would cause qpdf to lose data.
Note that this condition causes many PDF readers to hang or fail.
Bump to an alpha release. This version is not being widely released
but is being used to push the new shared library version through the
debian packaging system and to test out github releases.
The QPDF_String::getUTF8Val() method was not treating strings that
weren't explicitly Unicode as PDF Doc Encoded. This only affects
characters in the range 0x80 through 0xa0.
Implement a TokenFilter class and refactor Pl_QPDFTokenizer to use a
TokenFilter class called ContentNormalizer. Pl_QPDFTokenizer is now a
general filter that passes data through a TokenFilter.
Adding a trailing newline in content normalization damages files whose
contents are split across streams in the middle of tokens. Let
QPDFWriter add the newline with the indicator to ignore the newline,
which it already does. This changes the way some qdf files look.
Remove a redundant method that was equal to another one with
additional arguments. This breaks binary compatibility, but there are
other ABI breaking changes in the upcoming release, so now is the time
to do it.
Significant enhancements to the lexer to improve EOF handling and to
support comments and spaces as tokens. Various other minor issues were
fixed as well.
Add options to enable the raw encryption key to be directly shown or
specified. Thanks to Didier Stevens <didier.stevens@gmail.com> for the
idea and contribution of one implementation of this idea.
If the stream isn't filterable but we call getStreamData, throw a
regular exception instead of a logic error so that normal error
handling and reporting mechanisms will be used.
Avoid calling jpeg_mem_src and jpeg_mem_dest. The custom destination
manager writes to the pipeline in smaller chunks to avoid having the
whole image in memory at once. The source manager works directly with
the Buffer object. Using customer managers avoids use of memory source
and destination managers, which are not present in older versions of
libjpeg still in use by some Linux distributions.
