Full Release Notes
**Fixes** - `ocrmypdf --version` and `ocrmypdf --help` printed to standard error instead of standard output, so `version=$(ocrmypdf --version)` came back empty and `ocrmypdf --help | less` showed nothing. OCRmyPDF redirects file descriptor 1 to standard error early in startup, before it parses the command line, so that a stray write from a plugin or a library cannot corrupt a PDF being written to standard output; argparse's own output was caught by that redirection too and is now routed back to the real standard output. Error messages continue to go to standard error. Broken since v17.8.0.
