This is qpdf version 10.6.3.0cmake1. It is identical in functionality and binary compatible with 10.6.3. The only changes are
- The old autoconf + home-grown Makefile-based build system has been replaced with cmake
- For Windows, releases contain additional files (examples, static libraries) and executable installers are available in addition to zip files
- The documentation has been substantially updated to describe the new build system. In particular, see
This is a pre-release. Who should test it out?
- There are no functionality changes, so if you're just using qpdf, there's no need to take this release.
- If you packager qpdf for a distribution or build it yourself as part of a larger system, you can use this to migrate to cmake.
- If you are a Windows developer who has been having problems using the DLL from another language, you can try with this release and see if it helps. It's possible that the way cmake builds may resolve some issues that have so far remained elusive.
