AI Summary
A maintenance release for OCRmyPDF that fixes a regression where version and help commands were incorrectly outputting to standard error instead of standard output.
Key Highlights
- Fixed `--version` and `--help` commands to output to stdout.
- Resolved issue where command-line help was inaccessible since v17.8.0.
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.
