Open HTML to PDF v0.0.1-RC18 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-03-10 // about 5 years ago
    • 🏗 Please start using the fast renderer (builder.useFastMode()) as the old renderer will be removed in a future version.
    • #180 Fast renderer is finally ready for production. The fast renderer comes with:
      • Nearly 150 automated end-to-end regression tests. This is about 150 more than the old renderer.
      • Improved performance. This renderer scales linearly with the number of pages, compared to the old renderer which scaled with the page count squared.
      • Far better support for transforms, including nested transforms, multiple transforms and transforms interacting with hidden overflow, etc.
      • Better support for hidden overflow, with boxes now not escaping except with accordance to the standard.
      • Support for inserted cut off overflow pages. See Cut-off page support on the wiki.
      • Link areas and their hash link targets now repect transforms.
      • Bookmark targets now respect transforms.
      • Improved page placement for boxes. Now respects overflow and tranform properties.
      • Greater understanding which should make fixes and feature improvements easier.
