2021.08 Release Notes

Release date: 10th August 2021

Next release: 21st September 2021

Enhancements:

[HTML-3511] Added a new minFontSize setting. This setting is designed for content aimed at Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and other markets where the locale-specific version of Chrome has a default minimum font size of 12px (Chinese) or 10px (Japanese).

When this setting is used, any text below the provided font size will be rendered at that size and scaled down to the correct size using a CSS scale transform. Without this setting, Chrome may display text larger than intended.

[HTML-3503] Increased the accuracy of transformed text positioning which improves the display of files with text that follows a curved path
