weasyprint 69.0

v69.0

on Python PyPI

This is a security update (CVE-2026-49452).

We strongly recommend to upgrade WeasyPrint to the latest version if you use the --presentational-hints option and render untrusted HTML with restricted CSS properties.

Read about this release on our blog.

Security

• Avoid CSS injection with HTML presentational hints.

Command-line API

• The --srgb option has been replaced by --output-intent=srgb. Other values are possible: device-cmyk for CMYK documents with no ICC profile, or the CSS identifier of a @color-profile rule.

Python API

• The output_intent string entry replaces the srgb boolean in default options.
