- Update to version 8.2.1
Command-line Enchancements
* Add --keep-files-open=[yn] to override default determination
of whether to keep files open when merging.
- Update to version 8.2.0
Command-line Enhancements
* Add --no-warn option to suppress issuing warning messages.
If there are any conditions that would have caused warnings
to be issued, the exit status is still 3.
Bug fixesd and Optimizations
* Performance fix: optimize page merging operation to avoid
unnecessary open/close calls on files being merged. This
solves a dramatic slow-down that was observed when merging
certain types of files.
* Optimize how memory was used for the TIFF predictor,
drastically improving performance and memory usage for files
containing high-resolution images compressed with Flate
using the TIFF predictor.
* Bug fix: end of line characters were not properly handled
inside strings in some cases.
* Bug fix: using --progress on very small files could cause
an infinite loop.
API enhancements
* Add new class QPDFSystemError, derived from std::runtime_error,
which is now thrown by QUtil::throw_system_error. This enables
the triggering errno value to be retrieved.
* Add ClosedFileInputSource::stayOpen method, enabling a
ClosedFileInputSource to stay open during manually indicated
periods of high activity, thus reducing the overhead of
frequent open/close operations.
