* Version 0.90
** Improved handling of default annotation properties
A new variable pdf-annot-default-annotation-properties was
introduced, subsuming and obsoleting
pdf-annot-default-text-annotation-properties and
pdf-annot-default-markup-annotation-properties. The new variable
let's the user choose default properties, e.g. a color, for all
supported annotations separately.
** Provide a faster "boot-loader"
The autoloaded function `pdf-loader-install' acts as a replacement
for ‘pdf-tools-install’ and makes Emacs load and use PDF Tools as soon
as a PDF file is opened, but not sooner.
* Version 0.80
** Tablist package
The files tablist.el and tablist-filter.el are no longer part of
pdf-tools, but continue to live on in the tablist package, on which
pdf-tools now depends on.
** View
*** Encrypted files
When encountering an encrypted file, query for a password and
attempt to decrypt it.
*** Backward sync from isearch
In isearch, press M-s s to visit the source of the current match.
*** Disable unicode in mode-line
New variable pdf-view-use-unicode-lighter which allows for
disabling the use of unicode in the mode-line.
* Version 0.70
** View
*** Register integration
The keys m and ' now set resp. jump to a register corresponding to
a position in the PDF. Also '' is handled special: It jumps to the
position before the last register-jump.
*** Export parts of a page as an image
** Info
*** Interface changes
The return value of many pdf-info-* functions was changed in order
to prefer alists over other data-structures (indexed lists,
trees).
** Virtual PDF
A virtual PDF is a collection of pages (or parts thereof) of
arbitrary documents, which appear to the rest of pdf-tools as one
big PDF, though they are always read-only.
* Version 0.60
** Regexp support
You may now search for perl-compatible regular expressions (PCRE)
in PDF documents, both via Isearch and Occur. If that scares you,
customize the variable pdf-occur-prefer-string-search.
** Occur
*** Asynchronous search
Searching is performed asynchronously in a private server
instance, i.e. it doesn't block neither ordinary editing nor
pdf-view-mode.
*** Moccur
Added the ability to search multiple documents in one occur
buffer.
** Isearch
*** Occur Integration
M-s o now starts occur, while keeping the isearch session, like it
is in text-buffers.
*** Word search
M-s w now does a word search, which will also find hyphenated
words (as determined by pdf-isearch-hyphenation-character), though
not at page boundaries.
** View
*** Navigate by pagelabels
M-g l may be used to jump to a page by label, i.e. it's displayed
number.
*** Rendering
Added the ability to display the page as it would be printed
(e.g. w/o annotations) and to apply a color filter
(pdf-view-printer-minor-mode resp. pdf-view-midnight-minor-mode).
** Outline
New option `pdf-outline-display-labels', determining whether to
display labels instead of plain page-numbers.
* Version 0.50
** PDF Tools is now available on MELPA.
** SyncTeX
*** File name handling
SyncTeX is pretty picky about source filenames. So instead of
trying various filenames and hoping for best, we find it by
directly inspecting the database.
*** Heuristic backward search
Backward searching now tries to find the exact position in the
LaTeX buffer. This may be disabled by setting
pdf-sync-backward-use-heuristic to nil.
*** Renamed most variables/functions/commands.
The old ones are still there but declared obsolete.
** Compatible with Emacs 24.3
** Integrate with bookmark.el
** Compiling on OSX
PDF Tools should now compile on OSX, though it is unsupported.
** MELPA
Try to handle an update via MELPA by package.el by shutting down
the server, recompiling and restarting it. This may be deactivated
by setting pdf-tools-handle-upgrades to nil.
** Auto slicing
A new minor mode which will automatically slice the page according
to it's bounding box.
* Version 0.40
I basically reimplemented the whole thing. (Not really, but a lot
has changed.)
** Displaying PDF Files.
Rendering is now done almost completely in libpoppler (no convert
anymore), while PNG images are kept in memory and files are solely
used as a means of exchange between Emacs and epdfinfo. In
essence, display should be much faster.
*** New Major Mode pdf-view
Hacking up doc-view.el to support a server-based ,,rendering
engine'' would have been to awkward. So a new major-mode was
needed : pdf-view-mode . Both are very similar regarding
user-interface. Some differences are:
+ Setting the width to `fit-width', `fit-height' or `fit-page'
keeps up with window-size changes.
+ The values of the slice are relative, i.e. independent of the
image-size.
*** PNG Image Cache
Image data is cached, in order to keep the time it needs to
display a page low. Some pages are pre-loaded for the same reason,
while idling. The number of cached images per buffer may be
customized using `pdf-cache-image-limit'.
** Annotations
*** New supported types
Provided epdfinfo was build with a recent version of libpoppler,
you may now create and modify the following markup annotation
types: highlight, squiggly, underline and strike-out.
** Various
*** You may now select extended regions with C-mouse-1.
*** Numerous other changes
