2022.05 Release Notes

Release date: 31st May 2022

Next release: 12th July 2022

Announcements:

DR Form Fonts: After some internal review, the org.jpedal.pdf2html.useDRFormFonts setting that output form DR fonts was not behaving as intended. As a result, the setting has been flagged as experimental and is now disabled by default.
