- Update to 11.9.0:
* CLI Enhancements
- Add new command-line arguments --file and --range which can be
used within --pages in place of positional arguments. Allow
--file to be used inside of --overlay and --underlay as well.
These new options can be freely intermixed with positional
arguments.
- Allow --overlay and --underlay to be repeated. They may appear
multiple times on the command-line and will be stacked in the
order in which they appear. In QPDFJob JSON (see QPDFJob: a
Job-Based Interface), the overlay and underlay keys may contain
arrays. For compatibility, they may also contain a single dictionary.
* Library Enhancements
- Add file(), range(), and password() to QPDFJob::PagesConfig
as an alternative to pageSpec.
- Add QPDFObjectHandle::writeJSON to write the JSON representation
of the object directly to a pipeline. This is much faster than
calling QPDFObjectHandle::getJSON.
* Other Enhancements
- There have been non-user-visible improvements to the reliability
of the JSON parser. The JSON parser has been added to fuzz testing
with OSS-Fuzz.
* Remove openssl3_2-fuzz-16214.patch fixed upstream

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:libraries:c_c++/qpdf?expand=0&rev=148
- Temporary workaround for test fuzz-16214 (bsc#1218902)
* Add openssl3_2-fuzz-16214.patch
- Update to 11.8.0:
* Bug fixes:
- When flattening annotations, preserve hyperlinks and other annotations
that inherently have no appearance information.
* CLI Enhancements
- Introduce x in the numeric range syntax to allow exclusion of pages
within a page range. See Page Ranges for details.
- Support comma-separated numeric values with --collate to select
different numbers of pages from different groups.
- Add --set-page-labels option to completely override page labels in the
output.
* Library Enhancements
- Add API to support --set-page-labels:
- QPDFJob::Config::setPageLabels
- pdf_page_label_e enumerated type
- QPDFPageLabelDocumentHelper::pageLabelDict
- Improve file recovery logic to better handle files with cross-reference
streams. This should enable qpdf to recover some files that it would
previously have reported “unable to find trailer dictionary.” (forwarded request 1139461 from ohollmann)

- update to 11.7.0:
* Add QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper::disableDigitalSignatures,
which disables any digital signature fields, leaving their
visual representations intact.
The --remove-restrictions command-line argument now calls this.
* Generate a more complete qpdf "man page" from the same source
as qpdf --help. Fixes#1064.
* Allow the syntax "--encrypt --user-password=user-password
--owner-password=owner-password --bits={40,128,256}" when
encrypting PDF files. This is an alternative to the syntax
"--encrypt user-password owner-password {40,128,256}", which
will continue to be supported. The new syntax works better with
shell completion and allows creation of passwords that start
with "-".
* When setting a check box value, allow any value other than
/Off to mean checked. This is permitted by the spec.
* Fix to QPDF JSON: a floating point number that appears in
scientific notation will be converted to fixed-point notation,
rounded to six digits after the decimal point.
* Fix to QPDF JSON: the syntax "n:/pdf-syntax" is now accepted
as an alternative way to represent names. This can be used for
any name (e.g. "n:/text#2fplain"), but it is necessary when the
name contains binary characters.
* Update code and tests so that qpdf's test suite no longer
depends on the output of any specific zlib implementation.
This makes it possible to get a fully passing test suite with any
API-compatible zlib library. CI tests with the default zlib
as well as zlib-ng (including verifying that zlib-ng is not the
default), but any zlib implementation should work. Fixes
#774.

* Tweak linearization code to better handle files between 2 GB
and 4 GB in size. Fixes#1023.
* Fix data loss bug: qpdf could discard a the character after
an escaped octal string consisting of less than three
digits. For content, this would only happen with QDF or when
normalizing content. Outside of content, it could have happened
in any binary string, such as /ID, if the encoding software used
octal escape strings with less than three digits. This bug was
introduced between 10.6.3 and 11.0.0.

- version update to 11.6.0
- Bug fixes:
- Fix corner case in the ASCII85 decoder.
- Properly report warnings when ``--pages`` is used and the
warnings appear in other than the primary file.
- Improve ``--bash-completion`` and ``--zsh-completion`` to better
support paths with spaces in them.
- Move detection of random number device from compile-time to
runtime to improve cross compilation.
- Fix bugs around attempting to copy ``/Pages`` objects with
``copyForeignObject`` (which explicitly doesn't allow this).
- Don't build doc for Leap. Will break building of packages.
Only build doc for Tumbleweed.
- Update to 11.5.0:
* When copying the same page more than once, ensure that annotations
are copied and not shared among multiple pages.
* Add new method Buffer::copy and deprecate Buffer copy constructor
and assignment operator. Buffer copies are expensive and should be
done explicitly.
* The source code was reformatted to 100 columns instead of 80.
Numerous cosmetic changes and changes suggested by clang-tidy were made.
- version update to 11.4.0
CLI Enhancements
* The --optimize-images option now optimizes images inside of form XObjects.
Library Enhancements
* Allow QPDFJob’s workflow to be split into a reading phase and a writing
phase to allow the caller to operate on the QPDF object before it is written.
This adds methods QPDFJob::createQPDF and QPDFJob::writeQPDF and corresponding
C API functions qpdfjob_create_qpdf and qpdfjob_write_qpdf.
* Add QPDF::newReserved as a better alternative to QPDFObjectHandle::newReserved.
* If you add an uninitialized QPDFObjectHandle to an array, qpdf will throw a
logic_error. It has always been invalid to do this, but before, it wouldn’t
have been caught until later.
Bug fixes
* Ignore an annotation’s appearance state when the annotation only has one
appearance. This prevents qpdf’s annotation flattening logic from throwing
away appearances of annotations whose annotation state is set incorrectly,
as has been seen in some PDF files.
- Use -fexcess-precision=fast as GCC 13 changes the default
for C++ compiler and without the change some tests fail on i586.
- update to 11.3.0:
* When performing overlay or underlay operations, convert the
original page to a form XObject instead of simply isolating its
contents with q/Q operators. This prevents unbalanced q/Q
operators in any of the original pages from messing up the
graphics state of anything that is overlaid on top of it.
- update to 11.2.0:
* Move stream creation functions in the QPDF object where they belong. The ones
in QPDFObjectHandle are not deprecated and will stick around.
* Add some convenience methods to QPDFTokenizer::Token for testing token types.
This is part of qpdf’s lexical layer and will not be needed by most developers.
* Fix issue with missing symbols in the mingw build.
* Fix major performance bug with the OpenSSL crypto provider. This bug was
causing a 6x to 12x slowdown for encrypted files when OpenSSL 3 was in use.
This includes the default Windows builds distributed with the qpdf release.
* Fix obscure bug involving appended files that reuse an object number that was
used as a cross reference stream in an earlier stage of the file.
- update to 11.1.1:
* Bug fixes for #778 & #789
* Code tidying and performance improvements
- version 11.1.0: Build fixes
- version 11.0.0:
* Replacement of PointerHolder with std::shared_ptr
* JSON output mode is now at version 2
* Performance improvements, cleanup and refactoring.
* CLI: breaking changes:
The --show-encryption flag now provides encryption information
even if a correct password is not supplied.
Default json output version with --json has changed from 1 to 2.
The --allow-weak-crypto flag is now mandatory when explicitly
creating files with weak cryptographic algorithms.
* API: breaking changes:
Deprecate QPDFObject.hh for removal in qpdf 12.
Pipeline::write use unsigned char const* instead of unsigned char*.
Deprecated QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper::copyFieldsFromForeignPage.
The function passed to and called by QPDFJob::doIfVerbose now
takes a Pipeline& argument instead of a std::ostream& argument.
Remove pre qpdf-8.4.0 encryption API methods from QPDFWriter and
their corresponding C API functions.
QPDFObjectHandle::warnIfPossible no longer takes an optional
argument to throw an exception if there is no description.
QPDF objects can no longer be copied or assigned to.
* CLI Enhancements
* Library Enhancements:
A new object QPDFLogger has been added.
In QPDFObjectHandle, new methods insertItemAndGetNew,
appendItemAndGetNew, and replaceKeyAndGetNew. New methods
eraseItemAndGetOld, replaceKeyAndGetOld, and removeKeyAndGetOld.
QPDFObjectHandle::isDestroyed method.
QPDFObjectHandle::getOwningQPDF method now returns a null pointer
when the owning QPDF object has been destroyed.
QPDFObjectHandle::getQPDF is an alternative to
QPDFObjectHandle::getOwningQPDF.
Add method QPDFObjectHandle::isSameObjectAs.
New factory method QPDF::create() returns a std::shared_ptr<QPDF>.
New Pipeline methods have been added to reduce the amount of casting
that is needed (write, writeCstr, writeString, operator <<)
New Pipeline type Pl_OStream writes to a std::ostream.
New Pipeline type Pl_String appends to a std::string.
New Pipeline type Pl_Function.
Methods have been added to QUtil for converting PDF timestamps and
QPDFTime objects to ISO-8601 timestamps.
Enhancement to JSON class.
Add new functions to the C API for qpdfjob that use a qpdfjob_handle.
QPDFJob::registerProgressReporter & qpdfjob_register_progress_reporter
as a custom progress reporter with QPDFJob.
New overloads: QPDFObjectHandle::StreamDataProvider::provideStreamData
with QPDFObjGen const& instead of object ID and generation parameters.
In QPDFPageObjectHelper, add a copy_if_fallback parameter to most of
the page bounding box methods.
Add a move constructor to the Buffer class.
* Other changes:
In JSON v1 mode: "objects" key now reflects the repaired pages
tree if "pages" is specified.
Chapter "Contributing to qpdf" was added to the documentation.
The qpdf source code is now formatted automatically with clang-format.
- drop obsolete patches:
disable-newpdf-renderer.patch
qpdf-10.6.3-grep-3.8.patch
- fix build with GNU grep 3.8 (boo#1203231)
add qpdf-10.6.3-grep-3.8.patch
- add disable-newpdf-renderer.patch (bsc#1201642)
- update to 10.6.3:
* Minor internal changes to assist with building in other
environments: rename internal bits.icc to qpdf/bits_functions.hh
(not part of public API), enforce reordering of header files to
prevent jpeglib.h from interfering with other headers, remove an
unused header that was accidentally added in 10.6.0 but never
referenced by any code.
* Make build work and tests work when NDEBUG is defined. This
involved a few changes to some test files but no changes to any
library code.
* Bug fix in JSON parser: accept \/ in a string as valid input per
JSON spec even though we don't translate / to \/ on output.
* Recognize PDF strings explicitly marked as UTF-8 as allowed by
the PDF 2.0 spec. Fixes#654.
* Bug fix: when generating appearance streams, the font size was
substituted incorrectly from /DA if Tf was absent or the number
preceding Tf was out of range. Fixes#655.
- Update to version 10.6.2:
* Recognize strings encoded as UTF-16LE as Unicode. The PDF spec
only allows UTF-16BE, but most readers accept UTF16-LE as well.
* Fix a regression in command-line argument parsing to restore a
previously undocumented behavior that some people were relying
on.
* Fix one more problem with mapping Unicode to PDF doc encoding.
- Drop fix-signedness-warning.patch for real, the patch was still
present in obs.
- update to 10.6.1:
* All functionality previously available only from the qpdf CLI has been
exposed to the library using a new QPDFJob API, which includes fluent
interfaces as well as a JSON format that's equivalent to qpdf's
command-line arguments.
* Many new interfaces have been added to QPDFObjectHandle and the C API to
allow more convient ways querying types and accessing object values in a
more type-safe fashion.
* qpdf --help has been revamped so that help is divided into categories, and
help is available for each option
* The Running qpdf section of the manual has been rewritten. The manual now
includes an index of command-line arguments.
* see https://qpdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/release-notes.html
- drop build-without-pdf.patch, fix-signedness-warning.patch (upstream)
- add fix-signedness-warning.patch (build for aarch64)
- update to 10.5.0:
* Since qpdf version 8, using object accessor methods on an
instance of ``QPDFObjectHandle`` may create warnings if the
object is not of the expected type. These warnings now have an
error code of ``qpdf_e_object`` instead of
``qpdf_e_damaged_pdf``. Also, comments have been added to
:file:`QPDFObjectHandle.hh` to explain in more detail what the
behavior is. See :ref:`object-accessors` for a more in-depth
discussion.
* Add ``Pl_Buffer::getMallocBuffer()`` to initialize a buffer
allocated with ``malloc()`` for better cross-language
interoperability.
* Overhaul error handling for the object handle functions C API.
Some rare error conditions that would previously have caused a
crash are now trapped and reported, and the functions that
generate them return fallback values. See comments in the
``ERROR HANDLING`` section of :file:`include/qpdf/qpdf-c.h` for
details. In particular, exceptions thrown by the underlying C++
code when calling object accessors are caught and converted into
errors. The errors can be checked by calling ``qpdf_has_error``.
Use ``qpdf_silence_errors`` to prevent the error from being
written to stderr.
* Add ``qpdf_get_last_string_length`` to the C API to get the
length of the last string that was returned. This is needed to
handle strings that contain embedded null characters.
* Add ``qpdf_oh_is_initialized`` and
``qpdf_oh_new_uninitialized`` to the C API to make it possible
to work with uninitialized objects.
* Add ``qpdf_oh_new_object`` to the C API. This allows you to
clone an object handle.
* Add ``qpdf_get_object_by_id``, ``qpdf_make_indirect_object``,
and ``qpdf_replace_object``, exposing the corresponding methods
in ``QPDF`` and ``QPDFObjectHandle``.
- add build-without-pdf.patch to fix documentation installation
- enable documentation build, enable tests, enable werror
- update to 10.4.0:
* From the qpdf CLI, the --allow-weak-crypto is now required to suppress a
warning when explicitly creating PDF files using RC4 encryption. While qpdf
will always retain the ability to read and write such files, doing so will
require explicit acknowledgment moving forward. For qpdf 10.4, this change
only affects the command-line tool. Starting in qpdf 11, there will be
small API changes to require explicit acknowledgment in those cases as
well. For additional information, see Chapter 6, Weak Cryptography.
* Fix potential bounds error when handling shell completion that could occur
when given bogus input.
* Properly handle overlay/underlay on completely empty pages
* Fix crash that could occur under certain conditions when using --pages with
files that had form fields.
* Make QPDF::findPage functions public.
* Add methods to Pl_Flate to be able to receive warnings on certain recoverable
conditions.
* Add an extra check to the library to detect when foreign objects are inserted
directly (instead of using QPDF::copyForeignObject) at the time of insertion
rather than when the file is written. Catching the error sooner makes it much
easier to locate the incorrect code.
* Improve diagnostics around parsing --pages command-line options
- Update to version 10.3.2

for the complete changelog.
- Add BR on pkgconfig(openssl) to add support for OpenSSL crypto
provider and enable with --enable-crypto-openssl.
- Drop BR on pkgconfig(gnutls) now that we have OpenSSL support.
- Pass --disable-implicit-crypto to configure to make sure weak
crypto code is disabled.
- Update to version 9.1.1
* fix-qdf is rewritten in C++
* Added options --is-encrypted and --requires-password for testing
whether a file is encrypted or requires a password other than
the supplied (or empty) password.
* Added encrypt key to JSON options. With the exception of the
reconstructed user password for older encryption formats,
this provides the same information as --show-encryption but in
a consistent, parseable format. See output of qpdf --json-help
for details.
* In QDF mode, be sure not to write more than one XRef stream to a
file, even when --preserve-unreferenced is used. fix-qdf
assumes that there is only one XRef stream, and that it appears
at the end of the file.
* When externalizing inline images, properly handle images whose
color space is a reference to an object in the page's resource
dictionary.
- Update to version 9.1.0
* Incorporate contribution from Masamichi Hosoda to properly handle
signature dictionaries by not including them in object streams,
formatting the Contents key has a hexadecimal string,
and excluding the /Contents key from encryption and decryption.
* Incorporate contribution from Masamichi Hosoda to provide new API
calls for getting file-level information about input and output files,
enabling certain operations on the files at the file level rather
than the object level. New methods include QPDF::getXRefTable(),
QPDFObjectHandle::getParsedOffset(),
QPDFWriter::getRenumberedObjGen(QPDFObjGen),
and QPDFWriter::getWrittenXRefTable().
* Support build-time and runtime selectable crypto providers.
This includes the addition of new classes QPDFCryptoProvider
and QPDFCryptoImpl and the recognition of the QPDF_CRYPTO_PROVIDER
environment variable. Crypto providers are described in depth
in Section 2.3, “Crypto Providers”.
* Addition of the --show-crypto option in support of selectable
crypto providers, as described in Section 2.3, “Crypto Providers”.
* Allow :even or :odd to be appended to numeric ranges for
specification of the even or odd pages from among the pages
specified in the range.
* Add BR on pkgconfig(gnutls) to add support for GnuTLS for encryption
operations.
- Update to version 9.0.2
* Fix the name of the temporary file used by --replace-input so
that it doesn't require path splitting and works with paths
include directories.
- Update to version 9.0.1
* Upstream fixed bsc#1150151, removed explicit -fsigned-chars
from CXXFLAGS
* See included ChangeLog file for the complete changelog
- Add -fsigned-char to CXXFLAGS. Otherwise, tests fail on ppc64le,
s390x, and aarch64 (bsc#1150151).

- Update to version 8.4.1
* See included ChangeLog file for the complete changelog
- Update to version 8.4.0
See included ChangeLog file for the complete changelog
- Drop qpdf-data-loss-fix.patch, fixed upstream.
- Update to version 8.3.0
See included ChangeLog file for the complete changelog
- Add qpdf-data-loss-fix.patch to fix
https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf/issues/276
- Update to version 8.2.1
Command-line Enchancements
* Add --keep-files-open=[yn] to override default determination
of whether to keep files open when merging.
- Update to version 8.2.0
Command-line Enhancements
* Add --no-warn option to suppress issuing warning messages.
If there are any conditions that would have caused warnings
to be issued, the exit status is still 3.
Bug fixesd and Optimizations
* Performance fix: optimize page merging operation to avoid
unnecessary open/close calls on files being merged. This
solves a dramatic slow-down that was observed when merging
certain types of files.
* Optimize how memory was used for the TIFF predictor,
drastically improving performance and memory usage for files
containing high-resolution images compressed with Flate
using the TIFF predictor.
* Bug fix: end of line characters were not properly handled
inside strings in some cases.
* Bug fix: using --progress on very small files could cause
an infinite loop.
API enhancements
* Add new class QPDFSystemError, derived from std::runtime_error,
which is now thrown by QUtil::throw_system_error. This enables
the triggering errno value to be retrieved.
* Add ClosedFileInputSource::stayOpen method, enabling a
ClosedFileInputSource to stay open during manually indicated
periods of high activity, thus reducing the overhead of
frequent open/close operations.
- Update to version 8.1.0
Usability improvements:
* When splitting files, qpdf detects fonts and images that the
document metadata claims are referenced from a page but are
not actually referenced and omits them from the output file.
* When merging multiple PDF files, qpdf no longer leaves all
the files open.
* The --rotate option's syntax has been extended to make the
page range optional. If you specify --rotate=angle without
specifying a page range, the rotation will be applied to
all pages.
* When merging multiple files, the --verbose option now prints
information about each file as it operates on that file.
* When the --progress option is specified, qpdf will print a
running indicator of its best guess at how far through the
writing process it is.
Bug fixes:
* Properly decrypt files that use revision 3 of the standard
security handler but use 40 bit keys
(even though revision 3 supports 128-bit keys).
* Limit depth of nested data structures to prevent crashes
from certain types of malformed (malicious) PDFs.
* In “newline before endstream” mode, insert the required
extra newline before the endstream at the end of object streams.
Please see included ChangeLog for complete changelog including
API changes.
- Update to version 8.0.2
* Proper handling of pages with no content
* Better handling of files with loops following cross reference
tables
- Update to version 8.0.1
* Handle zlib streams with data checksum errors
* In the command line tool, allow specification of page numbers
counting from the end in page ranges.
- Update to version 8.0.0
* QPDFObjectHandle::getUTF8Val now properly treats non-Unicode
strings as encoded with PDF Doc Encoding.
* Add the option --coalesce-contents can be used to combine
content streams of a page whose contents are an array of
streams into a single stream.
* Add function qpdf_check_pdf to the C API. This function does
basic checking that is a subset of what qpdf --check performs.
* Major enhancements to the lexical layer of qpdf. For a complete
list of enhancements, please refer to the ChangeLog file.
* New API for working with PDF content streams at a lexical level.
The new class QPDFObjectHandle::TokenFilter allows the developer
to provide token handlers.
- Update to version 7.1.1
* Fix one linearization bug affecting files whose first /ID
component is not 16 bytes long
* Fix some build issues
- Add signature and keyring
- Update to version 7.1.0
* Allow raw encryption key to be specified in libary and command
line with the QPDF::setPasswordIsHexKey method and
--password-is-hex-key option. Allow encryption key to be displayed
with --show-encryption-key option. See
https://blog.didierstevens.com/2017/12/28/cracking-encrypted-pdfs-part-3/
for a discussion of using this for cracking encrypted PDFs. I hope
that a future release of qpdf will include some additional
recovery options that may also make use of this capability.
* Fix lexical error: the PDF specification allows floating point
numbers to end with "."
* Fix link order in the build to avoid conflicts when building
from source while an older version of qpdf is installed
* Add support for TIFF predictor for LZW and Flate streams. Now
* Clarify documentation around options that control parsing but
not output creation. Two options: --suppress-recovery and
--ignore-xref-streams, were documented in the "Advanced
Transformation Options" section of the manual and --help output
even though they are not related to output. These are now
described in a separate section called "Advanced Parsing Options."
* Implement remaining PNG filters for decode. Prior versions could
decode only the "up" filter. Now all PNG filters (sub, up,
average, Paeth, optimal) are supported for decoding.
The implementation of the remaining PNG filters changed the
interface to the private Pl_PNGFilter class, but this class's
header file is not in the installation, and there is no public
interface to the class. Within the library, the class is never
allocated on the stack; it is only ever dynamically allocated. As
such, this does not actually break binary compatibility of the
library. all predictor functions are supported
- cleanup with spec-cleaner
- Update to version 7.0.0
* License is now Apache-2.0
* Add new libjpeg8-devel dependency
* Improve the error message that is issued when QPDFWriter
encounters a stream that can't be decoded. In particular, mention
that the stream will be copied without filtering to avoid data
loss.
* Add new methods to the C API to correspond to new additions to
QPDFWriter:
- qpdf_set_compress_streams
- qpdf_set_decode_level
- qpdf_set_preserve_unreferenced_objects
- qpdf_set_newline_before_endstream
* Add support for writing PCLm files
* QPDF now supports reading and writing streams encoded with
JPEG or RunLength encoding. Library API enhancements and
command-line options have been added to control this
behavior. See command-line options --compress-streams
and --decode-level and methods QPDFWriter::setCompressStreams
and QPDFWriter::setDecodeLevel.
* Page rotation is now supported and accessible from both the
library and the command line.
* Fixes CVE-2017-12595 bsc#1055960, CVE-2017-9208 bsc#1040311
CVE-2017-9209 bsc#1040312, CVE-2017-9210 bsc#1040313,

- version update to 11.6.0
- Bug fixes:
- Fix corner case in the ASCII85 decoder.
- Properly report warnings when ``--pages`` is used and the
warnings appear in other than the primary file.
- Improve ``--bash-completion`` and ``--zsh-completion`` to better
support paths with spaces in them.
- Move detection of random number device from compile-time to
runtime to improve cross compilation.
- Fix bugs around attempting to copy ``/Pages`` objects with
``copyForeignObject`` (which explicitly doesn't allow this).

- Update to 11.5.0:
* When copying the same page more than once, ensure that annotations
are copied and not shared among multiple pages.
* Add new method Buffer::copy and deprecate Buffer copy constructor
and assignment operator. Buffer copies are expensive and should be
done explicitly.
* The source code was reformatted to 100 columns instead of 80.
Numerous cosmetic changes and changes suggested by clang-tidy were made.

CLI Enhancements
* The --optimize-images option now optimizes images inside of form XObjects.
Library Enhancements
* Allow QPDFJob’s workflow to be split into a reading phase and a writing
phase to allow the caller to operate on the QPDF object before it is written.
This adds methods QPDFJob::createQPDF and QPDFJob::writeQPDF and corresponding
C API functions qpdfjob_create_qpdf and qpdfjob_write_qpdf.
* Add QPDF::newReserved as a better alternative to QPDFObjectHandle::newReserved.
* If you add an uninitialized QPDFObjectHandle to an array, qpdf will throw a
logic_error. It has always been invalid to do this, but before, it wouldn’t
have been caught until later.
Bug fixes
* Ignore an annotation’s appearance state when the annotation only has one
appearance. This prevents qpdf’s annotation flattening logic from throwing
away appearances of annotations whose annotation state is set incorrectly,
as has been seen in some PDF files.

- update to 11.2.0:
* Move stream creation functions in the QPDF object where they belong. The ones
in QPDFObjectHandle are not deprecated and will stick around.
* Add some convenience methods to QPDFTokenizer::Token for testing token types.
This is part of qpdf’s lexical layer and will not be needed by most developers.
* Fix issue with missing symbols in the mingw build.
* Fix major performance bug with the OpenSSL crypto provider. This bug was
causing a 6x to 12x slowdown for encrypted files when OpenSSL 3 was in use.
This includes the default Windows builds distributed with the qpdf release.
* Fix obscure bug involving appended files that reuse an object number that was
used as a cross reference stream in an earlier stage of the file. (forwarded request 1039918 from dirkmueller)

* Performance improvements, cleanup and refactoring.
* CLI: breaking changes:
The --show-encryption flag now provides encryption information
even if a correct password is not supplied.
Default json output version with --json has changed from 1 to 2.
The --allow-weak-crypto flag is now mandatory when explicitly
creating files with weak cryptographic algorithms.
* API: breaking changes:
Deprecate QPDFObject.hh for removal in qpdf 12.
Pipeline::write use unsigned char const* instead of unsigned char*.
Deprecated QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper::copyFieldsFromForeignPage.
The function passed to and called by QPDFJob::doIfVerbose now
takes a Pipeline& argument instead of a std::ostream& argument.
Remove pre qpdf-8.4.0 encryption API methods from QPDFWriter and
their corresponding C API functions.
QPDFObjectHandle::warnIfPossible no longer takes an optional
argument to throw an exception if there is no description.
QPDF objects can no longer be copied or assigned to.
* CLI Enhancements
* Library Enhancements:
A new object QPDFLogger has been added.
In QPDFObjectHandle, new methods insertItemAndGetNew,
appendItemAndGetNew, and replaceKeyAndGetNew. New methods
eraseItemAndGetOld, replaceKeyAndGetOld, and removeKeyAndGetOld.
QPDFObjectHandle::isDestroyed method.
QPDFObjectHandle::getOwningQPDF method now returns a null pointer
when the owning QPDF object has been destroyed.
QPDFObjectHandle::getQPDF is an alternative to
QPDFObjectHandle::getOwningQPDF.
Add method QPDFObjectHandle::isSameObjectAs.
New factory method QPDF::create() returns a std::shared_ptr<QPDF>.
New Pipeline methods have been added to reduce the amount of casting
that is needed (write, writeCstr, writeString, operator <<)
New Pipeline type Pl_OStream writes to a std::ostream.
New Pipeline type Pl_String appends to a std::string.
New Pipeline type Pl_Function.
Methods have been added to QUtil for converting PDF timestamps and
QPDFTime objects to ISO-8601 timestamps.
Enhancement to JSON class.
Add new functions to the C API for qpdfjob that use a qpdfjob_handle.
QPDFJob::registerProgressReporter & qpdfjob_register_progress_reporter
as a custom progress reporter with QPDFJob.
New overloads: QPDFObjectHandle::StreamDataProvider::provideStreamData
with QPDFObjGen const& instead of object ID and generation parameters.
In QPDFPageObjectHelper, add a copy_if_fallback parameter to most of
the page bounding box methods.
Add a move constructor to the Buffer class.
* Other changes:
In JSON v1 mode: "objects" key now reflects the repaired pages
tree if "pages" is specified.
Chapter "Contributing to qpdf" was added to the documentation.
The qpdf source code is now formatted automatically with clang-format.
- drop obsolete patches:
disable-newpdf-renderer.patch

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:libraries:c_c++/qpdf?expand=0&rev=121
- update to 10.6.3:
* Minor internal changes to assist with building in other
environments: rename internal bits.icc to qpdf/bits_functions.hh
(not part of public API), enforce reordering of header files to
prevent jpeglib.h from interfering with other headers, remove an
unused header that was accidentally added in 10.6.0 but never
referenced by any code.
* Make build work and tests work when NDEBUG is defined. This
involved a few changes to some test files but no changes to any
library code.
* Bug fix in JSON parser: accept \/ in a string as valid input per
JSON spec even though we don't translate / to \/ on output.
* Recognize PDF strings explicitly marked as UTF-8 as allowed by
the PDF 2.0 spec. Fixes#654.
* Bug fix: when generating appearance streams, the font size was
substituted incorrectly from /DA if Tf was absent or the number
preceding Tf was out of range. Fixes#655.

- Update to version 10.6.2:
* Recognize strings encoded as UTF-16LE as Unicode. The PDF spec
only allows UTF-16BE, but most readers accept UTF16-LE as well.
* Fix a regression in command-line argument parsing to restore a
previously undocumented behavior that some people were relying
on.
* Fix one more problem with mapping Unicode to PDF doc encoding.
- Drop fix-signedness-warning.patch for real, the patch was still
present in obs.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:libraries:c_c++/qpdf?expand=0&rev=114
- update to 10.6.1:
* All functionality previously available only from the qpdf CLI has been
exposed to the library using a new QPDFJob API, which includes fluent
interfaces as well as a JSON format that's equivalent to qpdf's
command-line arguments.
* Many new interfaces have been added to QPDFObjectHandle and the C API to
allow more convient ways querying types and accessing object values in a
more type-safe fashion.
* qpdf --help has been revamped so that help is divided into categories, and
help is available for each option
* The Running qpdf section of the manual has been rewritten. The manual now
includes an index of command-line arguments.
* see https://qpdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/release-notes.html
- drop build-without-pdf.patch, fix-signedness-warning.patch (upstream)
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/954402
OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:libraries:c_c++/qpdf?expand=0&rev=113
- update to 10.5.0:
* Since qpdf version 8, using object accessor methods on an
instance of ``QPDFObjectHandle`` may create warnings if the
object is not of the expected type. These warnings now have an
error code of ``qpdf_e_object`` instead of
``qpdf_e_damaged_pdf``. Also, comments have been added to
:file:`QPDFObjectHandle.hh` to explain in more detail what the
behavior is. See :ref:`object-accessors` for a more in-depth
discussion.
* Add ``Pl_Buffer::getMallocBuffer()`` to initialize a buffer
allocated with ``malloc()`` for better cross-language
interoperability.
* Overhaul error handling for the object handle functions C API.
Some rare error conditions that would previously have caused a
crash are now trapped and reported, and the functions that
generate them return fallback values. See comments in the
``ERROR HANDLING`` section of :file:`include/qpdf/qpdf-c.h` for
details. In particular, exceptions thrown by the underlying C++
code when calling object accessors are caught and converted into
errors. The errors can be checked by calling ``qpdf_has_error``.
Use ``qpdf_silence_errors`` to prevent the error from being
written to stderr.
* Add ``qpdf_get_last_string_length`` to the C API to get the
length of the last string that was returned. This is needed to
handle strings that contain embedded null characters.
* Add ``qpdf_oh_is_initialized`` and
``qpdf_oh_new_uninitialized`` to the C API to make it possible
to work with uninitialized objects.
* Add ``qpdf_oh_new_object`` to the C API. This allows you to
clone an object handle.

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:libraries:c_c++/qpdf?expand=0&rev=111
- update to 10.4.0:
* From the qpdf CLI, the --allow-weak-crypto is now required to suppress a
warning when explicitly creating PDF files using RC4 encryption. While qpdf
will always retain the ability to read and write such files, doing so will
require explicit acknowledgment moving forward. For qpdf 10.4, this change
only affects the command-line tool. Starting in qpdf 11, there will be
small API changes to require explicit acknowledgment in those cases as
well. For additional information, see Chapter 6, Weak Cryptography.
* Fix potential bounds error when handling shell completion that could occur
when given bogus input.
* Properly handle overlay/underlay on completely empty pages
* Fix crash that could occur under certain conditions when using --pages with
files that had form fields.
* Make QPDF::findPage functions public.
* Add methods to Pl_Flate to be able to receive warnings on certain recoverable
conditions.
* Add an extra check to the library to detect when foreign objects are inserted
directly (instead of using QPDF::copyForeignObject) at the time of insertion
rather than when the file is written. Catching the error sooner makes it much
easier to locate the incorrect code.
* Improve diagnostics around parsing --pages command-line options

- Update to version 9.1.1
* fix-qdf is rewritten in C++
* Added options --is-encrypted and --requires-password for testing
whether a file is encrypted or requires a password other than
the supplied (or empty) password.
* Added encrypt key to JSON options. With the exception of the
reconstructed user password for older encryption formats,
this provides the same information as --show-encryption but in
a consistent, parseable format. See output of qpdf --json-help
for details.
* In QDF mode, be sure not to write more than one XRef stream to a
file, even when --preserve-unreferenced is used. fix-qdf
assumes that there is only one XRef stream, and that it appears
at the end of the file.
* When externalizing inline images, properly handle images whose
color space is a reference to an object in the page's resource
dictionary.

- Update to version 9.1.0
* Incorporate contribution from Masamichi Hosoda to properly handle
signature dictionaries by not including them in object streams,
formatting the Contents key has a hexadecimal string,
and excluding the /Contents key from encryption and decryption.
* Incorporate contribution from Masamichi Hosoda to provide new API
calls for getting file-level information about input and output files,
enabling certain operations on the files at the file level rather
than the object level. New methods include QPDF::getXRefTable(),
QPDFObjectHandle::getParsedOffset(),
QPDFWriter::getRenumberedObjGen(QPDFObjGen),
and QPDFWriter::getWrittenXRefTable().
* Support build-time and runtime selectable crypto providers.
This includes the addition of new classes QPDFCryptoProvider
and QPDFCryptoImpl and the recognition of the QPDF_CRYPTO_PROVIDER
environment variable. Crypto providers are described in depth
in Section 2.3, “Crypto Providers”.
* Addition of the --show-crypto option in support of selectable
crypto providers, as described in Section 2.3, “Crypto Providers”.
* Allow :even or :odd to be appended to numeric ranges for
specification of the even or odd pages from among the pages
specified in the range.
* Add BR on pkgconfig(gnutls) to add support for GnuTLS for encryption
operations.

- Update to version 8.2.1
Command-line Enchancements
* Add --keep-files-open=[yn] to override default determination
of whether to keep files open when merging.
- Update to version 8.2.0
Command-line Enhancements
* Add --no-warn option to suppress issuing warning messages.
If there are any conditions that would have caused warnings
to be issued, the exit status is still 3.
Bug fixesd and Optimizations
* Performance fix: optimize page merging operation to avoid
unnecessary open/close calls on files being merged. This
solves a dramatic slow-down that was observed when merging
certain types of files.
* Optimize how memory was used for the TIFF predictor,
drastically improving performance and memory usage for files
containing high-resolution images compressed with Flate
using the TIFF predictor.
* Bug fix: end of line characters were not properly handled
inside strings in some cases.
* Bug fix: using --progress on very small files could cause
an infinite loop.
API enhancements
* Add new class QPDFSystemError, derived from std::runtime_error,
which is now thrown by QUtil::throw_system_error. This enables
the triggering errno value to be retrieved.
* Add ClosedFileInputSource::stayOpen method, enabling a
ClosedFileInputSource to stay open during manually indicated
periods of high activity, thus reducing the overhead of
frequent open/close operations.

- Update to version 8.1.0
Usability improvements:
* When splitting files, qpdf detects fonts and images that the
document metadata claims are referenced from a page but are
not actually referenced and omits them from the output file.
* When merging multiple PDF files, qpdf no longer leaves all
the files open.
* The --rotate option's syntax has been extended to make the
page range optional. If you specify --rotate=angle without
specifying a page range, the rotation will be applied to
all pages.
* When merging multiple files, the --verbose option now prints
information about each file as it operates on that file.
* When the --progress option is specified, qpdf will print a
running indicator of its best guess at how far through the
writing process it is.
Bug fixes:
* Properly decrypt files that use revision 3 of the standard
security handler but use 40 bit keys
(even though revision 3 supports 128-bit keys).
* Limit depth of nested data structures to prevent crashes
from certain types of malformed (malicious) PDFs.
* In “newline before endstream” mode, insert the required
extra newline before the endstream at the end of object streams.
Please see included ChangeLog for complete changelog including
API changes.

- Update to version 8.0.0
* QPDFObjectHandle::getUTF8Val now properly treats non-Unicode
strings as encoded with PDF Doc Encoding.
* Add the option --coalesce-contents can be used to combine
content streams of a page whose contents are an array of
streams into a single stream.
* Add function qpdf_check_pdf to the C API. This function does
basic checking that is a subset of what qpdf --check performs.
* Major enhancements to the lexical layer of qpdf. For a complete
list of enhancements, please refer to the ChangeLog file.
* New API for working with PDF content streams at a lexical level.
The new class QPDFObjectHandle::TokenFilter allows the developer
to provide token handlers.

- Update to version 7.1.0
* Allow raw encryption key to be specified in libary and command
line with the QPDF::setPasswordIsHexKey method and
--password-is-hex-key option. Allow encryption key to be displayed
with --show-encryption-key option. See
https://blog.didierstevens.com/2017/12/28/cracking-encrypted-pdfs-part-3/
for a discussion of using this for cracking encrypted PDFs. I hope
that a future release of qpdf will include some additional
recovery options that may also make use of this capability.
* Fix lexical error: the PDF specification allows floating point
numbers to end with "."
* Fix link order in the build to avoid conflicts when building
from source while an older version of qpdf is installed
* Add support for TIFF predictor for LZW and Flate streams. Now
* Clarify documentation around options that control parsing but
not output creation. Two options: --suppress-recovery and
--ignore-xref-streams, were documented in the "Advanced
Transformation Options" section of the manual and --help output
even though they are not related to output. These are now
described in a separate section called "Advanced Parsing Options."
* Implement remaining PNG filters for decode. Prior versions could
decode only the "up" filter. Now all PNG filters (sub, up,
average, Paeth, optimal) are supported for decoding.
The implementation of the remaining PNG filters changed the
interface to the private Pl_PNGFilter class, but this class's
header file is not in the installation, and there is no public
interface to the class. Within the library, the class is never
allocated on the stack; it is only ever dynamically allocated. As
such, this does not actually break binary compatibility of the
library. all predictor functions are supported
