AI Summary

A performance and compatibility release introducing an async text extraction method and significantly speeding up underline and strikeout detection.

Key Highlights

  • New `extractTextWithPositionsAsync` API for non-blocking extraction
  • Underline/strikeout detection speedup (40s to <0.5s for pages with 200k rects)
  • Cross-compiled Linux binary for GLIBC 2.17+ compatibility

New Features

  • `extractTextWithPositionsAsync` API

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.
