Name : perl-PDF-API2
Product : Fedora 14
Version : 2.016
Release : 1.fc14
URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/PDF-API2/
Summary : Perl module for creation and modification of PDF files
Description :
A Perl Module Chain to facilitate the Creation and Modification of High-Quality
"Portable Document Format (aka. PDF)" Files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
2.016 2011-01-24
- New Maintainer: Steve Simms (http://deefs.net)
- This release jumps from version 0.73 to 2.016 in order to
provide a consistent version number across all modules in the
distribution without breaking any existing code or going
backwards.
- Lots of updates to the documentation, particularly in
PDF::API2::Content, which was almost completely rewritten and
reorganized.
- Font::TTF has been added as a dependency instead of being
embedded in the distribution.
- Everything that worked in 0.73 should work unmodified in 2.016,
at least if it used the published documentation, and most
everything should still work even if it didn't.
- PDF::API2 used to read and parse three text files, one of which
was over 500kB, on every load. These files have been turned
into modules, and while I haven't done any performance testing,
I'd have a hard time believing that it isn't faster now.
- There are now a few tests forming the beginning of a test suite.
Contributions of tests would be most welcome!
