      - Fixed date validation when timezone offset minute contains a trailing
        apostrophe, which is required by the Adobe PDF specifications and
        prohibited by the ISO PDF specifications.  PDF::API2 now accepts either
        version as valid (report by Johan Vromans).
      - Fixed passing a GD object to $pdf->image() (reported by Hakon Hagland).
      - Fixed a crash when object numbers contain leading zeroes.

  2.042     2021-09-16
      - This release includes many changes to method names, options, and
        documentation aimed at improving approachability, but existing code should
        continue to work.  See the new Backward Compatibility section in the main
        PDF::API2 documentation for details about deprecation timelines and a
        suggested workflow for handling upgrades.  See the new Migration section
        for a consolidated list of deprecated methods/options and their
        replacements.
      - Renamed several methods in the PDF::API2 base class:
        - end -> close
        - open_scalar -> from_string
        - stringify -> to_string
        - pages -> page_count
        - importPageIntoForm -> embed_page
        - isEncrypted -> is_encrypted
        - xmpMetadata -> xml_metadata
        - outlines -> outline
      - Merged saveas into save.
      - Added individual accessors for PDF metadata (title, author, producer,
        etc.).  Replaced info and infoMetaAttributes with info_metadata for custom
        metadata.
      - Renamed the following methods in the PDF::API2::Page class:
        - gfx -> graphics
        - rotate -> rotation
      - Added $page->boundaries() and $pdf->default_page_boundaries() to replace
        the separate methods for the various page boundaries.  The supported
        arguments are slightly different; some edge cases have been removed and
        new options have been added.  See below and the PDF::API2::Page
        documentation for details.
      - Added $page->size() and $pdf->default_page_size() as a shortcut for
        setting the media box.
      - Both $page->size() and $page->boundaries() (and their $pdf default
        equivalents) now accept "WxH" page sizes in inches (e.g. 11x17 or 8.5x11).
        This does not apply to the deprecated versions of these methods.
      - Both $page->size() and $page->boundaries() (and their $pdf default
        equivalents) now accept a single number for page boundaries other than the
        media box, representing an amount in points to shrink the next larger box.
        This does not apply to the deprecated versions of these methods.
      - Replaced pageLabel with page_labels.  The option syntax is slightly
        different (pass options as a hash instead of a hashref; remove hyphens
        from option names).
      - Replaced image_jpeg, image_tiff, image_pnm, image_png, image_gif, and
        image_gd with $pdf->image.
      - Replaced the individual barcode methods with $pdf->barcode, which is
        fully documented and includes reasonable defaults based on the chosen
        barcode format.
      - Improved spacing between barcodes and labels when both bar_extend
        (formerly -lmzn) and font_size (formerly -fnsz) are set and the font size
        is larger than the bar extension.
      - Replaced corefont, ttfont, psfont, and bdfont with $pdf->font.  Unlike
        corefont, font requires the exact name of one of the standard fonts.
        Kerning is on by default (vs. off by default in the type-specific
        methods).
      - Renamed synfont to synthetic_font.  Renamed and documented the options.
        The new hscale option (formerly -slant) now takes a percentage (100 = no
        change, vs. 1 = no change for -slant) to match the hscale method in
        Content.  The new "bold" option is in thousandths of a text unit,
        vs. hundredths for "-bold", so multiply the old value by 10 when
        migrating.
      - Replaced the individual colorspace methods with $pdf->colorspace.  Added
        documentation and examples for the various colorspace types except for the
        former colorspace_hue, because I couldn't find the standard that it
        implements (if one exists).
      - Renamed several methods in PDF::API2::Content:
        - linewidth -> line_width
        - linecap -> line_cap
        - linejoin -> line_join
        - miterlimit -> miter_limit
        - flatness -> flatness_tolerance
        - endpath -> end
        - rectxy -> rectangle
        - fillstroke -> paint
        - charspace -> character_spacing
        - wordspace -> word_spacing
        - nl -> crlf
        - advancewidth -> text_width
      - In PDF::API2::Content, replaced image and formimage with object.  Added a
        $page->object() convenience method that is equivalent to
        $page->graphics->object().
      - In PDF::API2::Content, merged text_center and text_right into text.  Use
        the "align" option to set alignment to "center" or "right".
      - In PDF::API2::Content, merged paragraphs into paragraph.
      - In PDF::API2::Content, deprecated poly and added polyline.  poly was the
        only path-drawing method that took a starting position as its first two
        arguments.  These should be passed to a move call instead, with the
        remaining arguments passed to the new polyline method.
      - In PDF::API2::Content, added position, which combines the functionality of
        distance and textpos2 (which was undocumented).  Deprecated textpos, which
        attempted to return the position of the "cursor" after taking into account
        coordinate transformations.  textpos2 and the new position method return
        the text position before any coordinate transformations are applied, which
        is consistent with how the other methods in this class behave.
      - In PDF::API2::Content, deprecated bogen.  Recreate using arc, if feasible.
        If not, I'm likely to leave the code in place indefinitely as an
        undocumented method.
      - In PDF::API2::Content, deprecated cr.  Replace with either position (if
        called with arguments) or crlf (if called without arguments).
      - Tentatively deprecated $pdf->cjkfont.  If you're successfully using this
        method for CJK font support, read PDF::API2::Resource::CIDFont::CJKFont
        and contact me to discuss your use case.
      - Tentatively deprecated $pdf->unifont.  If you're successfully using this
        method for Unicode support, please contact me to discuss your use case.
      - Replaced $pdf->preferences() with separate page_mode, page_layout,
        viewer_preferences, and open_action methods, all of which are now fully
        documented.
      - Added font_path and set_font_path accessors for the font search path (the
        list of directories searched when a font name is included without its full
        path).  Renamed addFontDirs to add_to_font_path.
      - Removed C:/WinNT/Fonts from the default font search path.
      - Named Destinations are now fully documented, with updated method names and
        arguments.
      - Outlines are now fully documented, with additional methods for examining
        and modifying the outline tree.  Existing method names and arguments have
        been updated to match those used in Named Destinations.  Various bugs have
        been fixed when reading or modifying outlines in existing PDFs.
      - Updated annotation documentation.  Revised methods and arguments to match
        those used in Named Destinations and Outlines.
      - A PDF version number specified in the document catalog is now respected by
        $pdf->version().
      - Fixed space calculation between words in justified text (report and fix by
        Vladislav Glinsky).

- updated to 2.039
   see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-PDF-API2/Changes
  2.039     2021-03-04
      - PDF::API2->open($filename) no longer reads the entire file into memory
        before working on it, instead reading from the file as needed.  This
        results in a substantial reduction in memory usage and start-up time for
        large PDF files, particularly in cases where the calling script doesn't
        need to access all of the contents of the PDF.
      - PDF files containing cross-reference streams can now be modified and saved
        normally.  Previously, they were read-only.
      - $text->paragraph(...) and $text->paragraphs(...) (formerly "section") are
        no longer undocumented and experimental.  If you were previously using
        them at your own risk, note that "-spillover" is no longer an option (text
        will always wrap inside the specified width if possible).  In addition,
        paragraphs(...) no longer collapses consecutive newlines.
      - [RT #98546] There is now an -align-last option for justified text to
        specify how the final line should be justified.  Left is still the
        default.
      - Code in the PDF::API2::Basic::PDF namespace was originally licensed under
        the Perl Artistic License, which has been determined to not be
        (L)GPL-compatible.  Martin Hosken has graciously granted an MIT license
        for use of his code contained in PDF::API2, so the distribution may now be
        used solely under the terms of the LGPL rather than requiring both
        licenses simultaneously.  Many thanks to Petr Pisar for his help in
        working through the licensing issues.
      - Renamed $text->lead(...) to $text->leading(...).  The old name is
        deprecated but will continue to work.  If you're modifying PDF::API2
        objects by editing their hash values instead of using these accessors,
        you'll need to update your code.
      - Added a -compress option (on by default) to PDF::API2->new(), open(), and
        open_scalar().  If disabled, most streams won't be compressed, which can
        simplify debugging.
