Upgrading?
AI Summary
This update enhances text geometry processing and PDF loading stability, introducing better handling for superscripts, subscripts, and rotated text, alongside improvements to CI and decompression bounds.
Key Highlights
- Improved text geometry, superscript/subscript handling, and baseline metadata
- Faster cross-platform CI and release publishing
- Bounded object-stream decompression
- Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata
- Password-aware Python fixture tests
Breaking Changes
- Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box (origin change: lower-left for items, top-left for regions).
- Rust `TextItem` literals must add `baseline_shift`, `rotation`, and `advance_known` fields.
New Features
- Enhanced superscript and subscript handling
- Added rotation metadata for text
- Rotated-text bounds calculation
Full Release Notes
Improved text geometry, superscript/subscript handling, and PDF loading. Changes since **1.17.0**, released from [#509](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/509). ## Included PRs - [#452](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/452): Faster cross-platform CI. - [#453](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/453): Faster release publishing. - [#478](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/478): Bounded object-stream decompression. - [#488](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/488): Superscript/subscript handling and baseline metadata. - [#489](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/489): Password-aware Python fixture tests. - [#490](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/490): Python binding tests in CI. - [#487](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/487): Positions and regions relative to the visible page box. - [#486](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/486): Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata. - [#507](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/507): Embedded bold-font metadata recovery. - [#508](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/508): Repair classic cross-reference tables with short entries. ## 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).
