Revision history for PDF::Make

0.12  2026-08-23
     - Fix: Font::Metrics was used by PDF::Make::Builder::Font but never
       declared as a prerequisite, so an install that already had an older
       Layout::Flex never pulled it in. 
     - Fix: perl 5.10 and 5.12 failed to build. cBOOL is 5.14+ and the
       call-checker code is compiled on every perl even though the checkers
       are only registered from 5.14.

0.11  2026-08-17
     - New: PDF::Make::Markup::Diff - which pages changed between two
       renders, and what text moved, from structured extraction with
       positions. 
     - Fix: blocks inside a <box> flowed onto one line.
     - Fix: a font size override kept the base font's leading, so a
       <text size="20"> after a 9pt base got a 9pt slot and the block
       after it was drawn straight through it. 
      - Fix: text in a cell now starts at the top of its line height.
      - New: spacing= works on a block inside a <box>.
      - t/56-golden-corpus.t is now an author test (AUTHOR_TESTING=1).
      - Fix: Document::add_outline swallowed every bookmark after the
	  first.

0.10  2026-08-15
	- New: PDF::Make::Markup* interface to generate PDFs.

0.09  2026-07-26
      - Builder::Text: add a "preformatted" option that renders text verbatim,
        preserving hard newlines and all in line whitespace

0.08  2026-07-21
      - Builder::Layout::Row::render now uses Layout::Flex for both width
        distribution and height computation. 
      - Added examples/02_layout/flex_layout.pl demonstrating auto height,
        weighted columns, gap, mixed font sizes, and explicit height override.

0.07  2026-07-11
      - Fix "Free to wrong pool" on Strawberry Perl (Windows): xs/crypt.xs
        (encrypt_stream, decrypt_stream) and xs/watermark.xs (next_bates,
        expand) called free() on buffers allocated by C library functions that
        do not include perl.h.  On Windows, win32/win32.h (pulled in via
        perl.h in Make.c) redefines free() to win32_free(), which checks that
        the pointer belongs to Perl's managed pool. Fix: added pdfmake_cfree()
        in src/pdfmake_crypt.c (no perl.h) and declared it in
        include/pdfmake_crypt.h. 

0.06  2026-07-07
      - pdfmake_format_real: replace hand-rolled digit-extraction loop with
        sprintf("%.6f") + trailing-zero strip.
      - pdfmake_xs_strndup in Make.xs: add pTHX_ and switch from malloc to
        Newx / Safefree.  XSUB.h redefines malloc→PerlMem_malloc on Windows
        PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS builds; without pTHX_ the expansion references
        my_perl which is undeclared in a plain static function, causing a
        compile error

0.05  2026-06-29
      - t/73-watermarks.t: switched the three watermark opacity / colour
        assertions (default 0.3 opacity, custom [0.8,0.2,0.2] colour,
        custom 0.2 opacity) from is() / Test2::Bundle::Numerical's default
        4-ULP relative tolerance to explicit
        float_is_abs($got, $expected, $name, 1e-12).
      - Replaced two strndup() calls in xs/signature.xs with a portable
        pdfmake_xs_strndup() helper defined in Make.xs. 

0.04  2026-06-28
      - t/73-watermarks.t: switched to Test2::Bundle::Numerical 
      - Guarded pdfmake_path_t typedef in pdfmake_text.h /
        pdfmake_render.h with PDFMAKE_PATH_T_DEFINED 

0.03  2026-06-28
      - typemap: rewrote all 28 INPUT/OUTPUT blocks to avoid an interpolation
        bug in ExtUtils::ParseXS 3.45+ that silently dropped
        ${$ALIAS?...:...} expressions, leaving `self` uninitialised and
        causing SEGVs in 83 of 90 test files on the CPAN Testers grid
        (perl 5.36 x86_64-linux).
      - Lowered the supported Perl floor from 5.20 to 5.10.1.
        MIN_PERL_VERSION 
      - Added pre-5.22 compatibility shims for the op-tree sibling API
        (OpSIBLING, OpHAS_SIBLING, OpMORESIB_set, OpLASTSIB_set) 
      - Added a pre-5.16 fallback for gv_fetchmeth_pvn that delegates to
        gv_fetchmeth, 
      - t/73-watermarks.t: switched to Test2::Bundle::Numerical so
        opacity/colour comparisons pass on perls built with
        -Duselongdouble / -Dusequadmath.
