ANN: wxPdfDocument 1.0.0 released

Post by utelle »

Version 1.0.0 of wxPdfDocument has been released. This version is compatible with wxWidgets 3.0.x, and 3.1.x. Sample PDF files created with wxPdfDocument can be found here.

Due to the removal of support for wxWidgets 2.8.x there is a change in the major version number this time. A major enhancement is the support for PDF/A-1B conformance. Additionally, support for fill patterns has been extended: they can now even be based on templates - the sample drawing.cpp (in folder samples/minimal) demonstrates the new capabilities (see sample PDF).

What's new in this release

General changes
- Removed support for wxWidgets 2.x
- Added support for PDF/A-1B conformance
- Added transformation matrix support for wxPdfDC
- Added attribute "char-spacing" for XML markup element "span"
- Added maximum height attribute for table rows in XML markup
- Implemented extended support for fill patterns (template based patterns, various hatch patterns)
- Enhanced support for wxBrush styles in wxPdfDC (stipple and hatch styles)
- Changed data type of image measures in XML markup (from integer to double)
- Optimized wxPdfDC output (setting of pens, brushes, state changes)

Fixed bugs
- Fixed issue with bitmap images in wxPdfDC (now using globally unique identifiers)
- Fixed wxPdfDC issue with pen and brush color
- Fixed issue with patterns in templates
- Use the transparent background mode by default (relevant for alpha support in wxPdfDC)

Feedback and bug reports are welcome.

Regards,
Ulrich
