1.52 02 Oct 2008
[FIXES]

(rlane10 via http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/10/msg2361238.html)
1.51 28 Sep 2008
[FIXES]
- Support PDFs with 24-bit offsets in the xref stream (PDF v1.5 only)
(thanks to Dan Richman for reporting the problem and providing an example)
1.50 20 Sep 2008
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Support for reading PDF 1.5 compressed object streams and cross reference streams.
(we cannot write this style, but we can append to it)
[FIXES]
- Decompression of PNG-filtered streams was totally broken.
- Deleting pages now also deletes back references from annotations on that page.
- cleanse() now removes PieceInfo data. I have no idea what
PieceInfo does, but it had a whole bunch of page back links
that broke page deletion.
1.21 13 Aug 2008
[FIXES]
- Permit comments after the %%EOF, like Adobe Reader does. Thanks to
Malcolm Cook for pointing out the incompatibility.

are different

RT #35555 (credit Eric Hall and his anonymous employee).

Andrew Cadman for finding the bug and suggesting a fix
1.12 27 Nov 2007
[FIXES]

because it just printed to STDOUT. Fixed to offer a
toString() method instead. Fuse::PDF wants this feature.

- disable the "node has only one kid and no parent" error
This is a case where the delete code does a poor job of
maintaining a balanced page tree and then complains about it's
own bad work. This should eventually be fixed, but for now,
removing the die() is good enough.
