Upgrading?
AI Summary
Improves text geometry, superscript/subscript handling, and PDF loading performance with new metadata fields and bounded decompression.
Key Highlights
- Faster cross-platform CI and release publishing
- Superscript/subscript handling and baseline metadata
- Positions and regions relative to the visible page box
- Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata
- Embedded bold-font metadata recovery
Breaking Changes
- Positioned items and region APIs now use the visible page box origin (remove manual CropBox adjustment).
- Rust `TextItem` literals must include `baseline_shift`, `rotation`, and `advance_known`.
New Features
- Superscript and subscript support
- Rotation metadata
- Visible page box positioning
Full Release Notes
Improved text geometry, superscript/subscript handling, and PDF loading. Changes since **1.17.0**, released from [#509](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/509). ## Included PRs - [#452](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/452): Faster cross-platform CI. - [#453](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/453): Faster release publishing. - [#478](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/478): Bounded object-stream decompression. - [#488](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/488): Superscript/subscript handling and baseline metadata. - [#489](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/489): Password-aware Python fixture tests. - [#490](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/490): Python binding tests in CI. - [#487](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/487): Positions and regions relative to the visible page box. - [#486](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/486): Rotated-text bounds and rotation metadata. - [#507](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/507): Embedded bold-font metadata recovery. - [#508](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector/pull/508): Repair classic cross-reference tables with short entries. ## 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).
