AI Summary

This release improves text geometry handling, specifically superscript and subscript support, alongside various fixes for PDF loading and decompression. It introduces a significant change in coordinate systems where positions and regions are now relative to the visible page box rather than manual CropBox adjustments. Performance optimizations have also been implemented for CI and release processes.

Key Highlights

  • Improved text geometry and superscript/subscript handling
  • Positions and regions now use the visible page box
  • Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata
  • Embedded bold-font metadata recovery
  • Faster cross-platform CI and release publishing

Breaking Changes

  • Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box, requiring removal of manual CropBox-origin adjustments
  • Rust `TextItem` literals must add `baseline_shift`, `rotation`, and `advance_known` fields

New Features

  • Superscript/subscript handling and baseline metadata
  • Password-aware Python fixture tests
  • Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata
  • Embedded bold-font metadata recovery

## Migration

- Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box. Remove any manual CropBox-origin adjustment; positioned items use a lower-left origin, while region inputs use a top-left origin.
- Rust `TextItem` literals must add `baseline_shift`, `rotation`, and `advance_known` (`0.0`, `0.0`, and `true` for ordinary upright text).
