AI Summary

This consolidated package release brings together Rust, Python, Node.js, and WebAssembly packages. It focuses on parsing hardening against DoS attacks and improves extraction quality for various font and table scenarios.

Key Highlights

  • Hardens parsing against nested-object, malformed Unicode, and extreme-coordinate denial-of-service or panic cases.
  • Improves extraction correctness for contextual digit runs, redline/strikeout handling, and password-protected item JSON.
  • Improves ruled-table preservation, chart reading order, and rejection of script attachments or tiny numeric fragments.
  • Adds non-blocking async variants to the Node API.
  • Refreshes packaged API and benchmark documentation.

New Features

  • Non-blocking async variants for the Node API.
  • Hardened parsing against various malformed inputs and DoS vectors.
  • Improved extraction for contextual digits, redlines, and password-protected items.
  • Ruled-table preservation and chart reading order improvements.

## Highlights

- Hardens parsing against nested-object, AcroForm `/Kids`, structure-tree, malformed Unicode/glyph-name, and extreme-coordinate denial-of-service or panic cases (#198, #314, #320, #321, #322, #328).
- Improves extraction correctness for contextual digit runs, redline/strikeout handling, escaped comments, Base-14 fonts, CFF CID fonts, page-prefixed Markdown, corrupt `startxref` pointers, OCR-routing parity, and password-protected item JSON (#201, #209, #230, #231, #240, #241, #245, #253, #259, #284).
- Improves ruled-table preservation, chart reading order, and rejection of script attachments or tiny numeric table fragments (#262, #264).
- Adds non-blocking async variants to the Node API (#337) and synchronizes Python type stubs with the shipped bindings (#250).
- Refreshes packaged API and benchmark documentation (#192).

## Changes since each package's previous release

The package versions were not previously consolidated, so each changelog starts at that package's actual published commit rather than an old repository-wide `v*` tag.

| Package | Version | Source changes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Rust crate | `0.1.7 → 0.1.8` | [`5e8f157..965dc65`](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/compare/5e8f157...965dc65) |
| Python | `0.2.6 → 0.2.7` | [`7b7960e..965dc65`](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/compare/7b7960e...965dc65) |
| Node | `1.12.0 → 1.13.0` | [`98990cc..965dc65`](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/compare/98990cc...965dc65) |
| WebAssembly | `0.1.3 → 0.1.4` | [`7188667..965dc65`](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/compare/7188667...965dc65) |

This is the first package-umbrella GitHub release. Earlier `v*` tags tracked individual package history and should not be treated as a unified release line.
