AI Summary

This release focuses on enhancing text geometry, specifically improving superscript and subscript handling along with PDF loading. It also introduces various performance optimizations for CI and release processes, alongside improvements to Python bindings.

Key Highlights

Improved text geometry with superscript/subscript and baseline metadata support.
Enhanced PDF loading with cross-reference table repair and embedded font metadata recovery.
Performance improvements including faster cross-platform CI and release publishing.
Bounded object-stream decompression for better stability.

Breaking Changes

Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box, requiring removal of manual CropBox-origin adjustments.
Rust `TextItem` literals now require `baseline_shift`, `rotation`, and `advance_known` fields.

New Features

Superscript and subscript handling and baseline metadata.
Password-aware Python fixture tests.
Positions and regions relative to the visible page box.
Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata.
Embedded bold-font metadata recovery.

## 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).
