AI Summary
Introduces an asynchronous text extraction method and drastically improves performance for underline detection on large pages.
Key Highlights
- New `extractTextWithPositionsAsync` API for non-blocking extraction.
- Performance boost from 40s to under 0.5s for pages with 200,000 thin rects.
- Cross-compiled Node binary for Amazon Linux 2023.
New Features
- Async API, performance optimization, and enhanced platform support.
Full Release Notes
Changes since 1.24.0: - Node: `extractTextWithPositionsAsync`, the async variant of `extractTextWithPositions`: the same arguments and items, run on the libuv thread pool so a slow page no longer blocks the caller's event loop (#592). - Underline and strikeout detection no longer takes quadratic time on pages drawn from many thin filled rects or short strokes: a page of about 200,000 thin rects went from about 40 s to under 0.5 s, with the same marks (#592). - The `linux-x64-gnu` Node binary is cross-built for a GLIBC_2.17 floor again, so it loads on Amazon Linux 2023 (the managed AWS Lambda Node runtimes), RHEL 9 and Debian 11 (#586). API: Node `extractTextWithPositionsAsync`. Release preparation: #593. [Full changelog](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/compare/v1.24.0...v1.25.0)
