AI Summary

Focuses on text geometry improvements, superscript/subscript handling, and PDF loading fixes. Also includes performance optimizations for CI and release publishing workflows.

Key Highlights

  • Superscript/subscript handling and baseline metadata
  • Bounded object-stream decompression for stability
  • Positions and regions relative to the visible page box
  • Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata
  • Embedded bold-font metadata recovery and cross-reference table repair

Breaking Changes

  • Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box
  • Rust TextItem literals must add baseline_shift, rotation, and advance_known

New Features

  • Superscript/subscript handling and baseline metadata
  • Bounded object-stream decompression
  • Positions and regions relative to visible page box

## 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).
