Upgrading?

AI Summary

This release enhances text geometry handling, specifically adding support for superscripts, subscripts, and rotated text bounds. It also improves PDF loading performance and robustness through faster CI, bounded decompression, and cross-reference table repairs.

Key Highlights

  • Improved superscript/subscript and rotated-text handling
  • Faster cross-platform CI and release publishing
  • Bounded object-stream decompression
  • Positions and regions now relative to the visible page box
  • Repair of classic cross-reference tables with short entries

Breaking Changes

  • Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box (removing manual CropBox-origin adjustment).
  • Rust `TextItem` literals now require `baseline_shift`, `rotation`, and `advance_known` fields.

New Features

  • Superscript/subscript handling and baseline metadata
  • Positions relative to the visible page box
  • Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata

## 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).
