	build system:
	 * Add option for autogen.sh to skip configure
	 * Nicer autogen.sh output

	 * pdftohtml: Use splash instead of external gs invocation to
           render the background

           background. (Bug #29551)
	
	cpp:

+ 2 soname bumps in libpoppler.so.* and libpoppler.glib.so.*.
Please check whether your package builds against this new version of
poppler correctly if you maintain a package which requires it. The new
version has been pushed to git already but not built yet.

Regards

Marek

epdfview does not build, because of an API change:
poppler 0.14 had:
char *poppler_page_get_text(PopplerPage *page,
                            PopplerSelectionStyle style,
                            PopplerRectangle *rect);
poppler 0.15 has:
char *poppler_page_get_text(PopplerPage *page);

Is poppler_page_get_selected_text() the correct replacement for the old
poppler_page_get_text() ?

Yes, but you also need to change the y coordinates, see:

Thanks, Kevin.

I have fixed epdfview in Rawhide and sent the patch to the upstream
developer.
