I have released qpdf 11.9.0. This release includes some performance optimizations and reliability enhancements to JSON support, an enhanced command-line syntax for --pages in preparation for future options, support for multiple overlay and underlay specifications, and a few minor fixes and improvements to new features from qpdf 11.8.0. As usual: • release: https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf/releases • release notes: https://qpdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/release-notes.html This release includes a bit more progress on the pages work, but I ran out of focused time on that, so it will take some time to get most of the exciting features in. There are a number of other items on the backlog. For anyone interested in following the progress of qpdf 12, see this github discussion: https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf/discussions/785. The list of proposed changes is subject to change, but that issue covers most of what we're thinking. The remaining pages work will probably done after the release of qpdf 12. Other items on the roadmap for after qpdf 12 include support for incremental updates and some kind of support for digital signatures, though don't expect qpdf to replace services that handle the user interaction side of digital signature. I'm afraid it will take some time before these features appear in qpdf, but they are on my radar. --Jay |
