2021.04 Release Notes
Release date: 6th April 2021
Next release: 18th May 2021
Enhancements:
[HTML-3474] - Enable new link detection code as default approach
Links detected within the page text are now added to the annotations.json file under a new annotation type TextLink (which are functionally the same as Link annotations).
This changes the existing functionality that hard-codes detected links within the HTML as anchor (<a>) tags. The benefits of this update are:
- The behaviour of detected links can now be customized by the annotations handling
- Detected links are now supported in the SVG conversion (BuildVu-SVG)
- Multi-line links are now detected
- Ligatures (such as ffi/fi) are now handled correctly within detected links
[HTML-3448] - Improve patterned shape/shade positioning
Added subpixel positioning
[HTML-3481] - Link annotation with both /A action and /Dest entries is not detecting target page
Added workaround to handle customer file that does not conform to the PDF specification
Fixes:
[HTML-3467] - Thumbnails and shapetext modes are missing some text
