- many fixes and improvements to EPUB support
- mudraw moves to the multi-purpose mutool binary
- add new OpenGL-based viewer, mupdf-gl
- add an optional flavour to enable the javascript support (wasn't
on by default before in our package, and still isn't)
this port didn't build on static-only arch anyway). Unsupported upstream
(http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691887#c1) but the patch is
easy to maintain, and there's a clear benefit:
$ stat -f "%Z %N" mupdf*
25262988 mupdf-1.4.tgz
4619258 mupdf-1.4p0.tgz
here as cURL is a fairly common package).
Earlier version without cURL support ok rpe@, additional tests on various
arch from brett@, Florian Stinglmayr and Donovan Watteau (who also reminded
me about a change of name for mubusy needed in DESCR).
- drop fontres.c and switch to upstream's standard method of embedding fonts;
with gcc4 this is now able to build on arm without running out of RAM (this is
fortunate because it avoids reworking fontres for changes to MuPDF).
Note: key bindings changed slightly; notably /=search (currently
only within a page), n=next search hit, N=last search hit.
A few others were removed to make room and consistency. See
manpage for more (or hit ? while running and look at stdout).
from PDFs with the ight mouse button. no search yet though).
note that the command-line options have changed slightly and there
are new keybindings - see mupdf(1).
- only pdfinfo conflicts with other packages, so switch to the
standard names for the other tools
- install the new manpages from upstream (replacing our mupdf manpage),
library, headers, .pc and desktop integration files
thanks ajacoutot@ for checking and improvements for the desktop
integration files, and Roberto Fernandez for looking over the
fontres parts.
disabled for now. "i'm stunned by the quality and that it doesn't
choke on a recent document[0] where xpdf had issues with" simon@
(who also helped tracking down the key bindings, thanks!).
Fitz is a project to create a new and modern graphics library.
At the core of Fitz is the display tree: a scene graph of vector
graphics, images and text making up the contents of a page.
The standard components of Fitz are:
* Base runtime (thin memory and error handling layer)
* Streams and filters (standard postscript, pdf and tiff filters)
* World model (display trees and resources)
* Drawing (draw the tree to a bitmap raster)
MuPDF is a PDF parser that reads PDF files and creates Fitz trees.
MuPDF also has an API to modify internal objects in the PDF files
and write PDF files. For instance, it is possible to use the MuPDF
library to encrypt existing PDF files, or to rearrange the pages.
pdftool is a commandline demo of this functionality; it is a portable
pdf swiss army knife for fixing broken pdf files, changing permissions,
merging and extracting pages, and examining the internal object
structure of a PDF file.
The mupdf binary (aka pdfview) is a bare bones PDF viewer.
