FPDI - Changelog

As of Version 1.3 the changelogs
are available on the download page.

v1.2.1 (2008-09-11)

• !IMPORTANT CHANGE! As FPDI is usable with FPDF and TCPDF from now on you need to include the desired class before you inlcude FPDI/FPDF_TPL!
• added compatibility for TCPDF (4.0.023)
• removed unused var FPDI::$importVersion
• removed constructor in FPDI
• multiple FPDI::importPage()-calls will not create multiple xform objects, now.
• added additional standard value for graphic state before template usage
  (FPDI::useTemplate())
• corrected handling of $_obj_stack in FPDI::_putimportedobjects()
• removed FPDI::setVersion()
• added "new" PDF variable types: PDF_TYPE_REAL, PDF_TYPE_BOOLEAN
• corrected handling of FPDI::PDFVersion
• fixed pdf_parser::pdf_find_xref()
• pdf_parser::pdf_read_xref() completely rewritten:
  - the new method is not that strict as the last one
  - parses some errorious documents
  - does not rely on fgets/lineendings anymore.
  - does not care about any recursive-stack limitations of php/apache
• optimized parsing of strings (pdf_parser::pdf_read_value())
• added parsing of PDF comments (pdf_parser::pdf_read_value())
• removed _fgets()-wrapper function (wrapper_functions.php)
• FPDI will now work with stream wrappers (in pdf_context.php).
• smal changes in the LZWDecode-Class (removed handling by reference)
• added fpdi2tcpdf_bridge.php which remaps TCPDF to the name FPDF so FPDF_TPL can
  inherit from FPDF further.
• added compatibility for FPDF 1.6

Generally the usage of FPDI is identically to v1.2 - so no "seen" feature is added, beacause of this we just did a jump to 1.2.1 and not 1.3.

Known Issues for/with TCPDF in 1.2.1

• As TCPDF writes some content to the begining of a content stream, border- and
  background gets behind a template, while the text still stays in front of it.

v1.2 (2007-05-20)

• cleaned up the whole code and prefixed private methods and properties with an underscore.
• renamed various private methods to suggestive names
• fixed fpdi_pdf_parser::getContent(): "unknown token qQ"
• fixed fpdi_pdf_parser::getPageBox(): Correct calculation of page size
• fixed fpdi::_closeParsers(): method call was on a copy of the parserobjects instead of reference
• added fpdi::_enddoc(): automatically calls fpdi::_closeParsers()
• fixed fpdi::setSourceFile so it doesn't recreates parser objects for already used pdf documents.
• fixed pdf_parser::pdf_find_xref (): works now specification recommend
• fixed pdf_parser::pdf_read_value(): string-matching with escaped parenthesis is "really" fixed
• pdf_context::reset(): catch length of zero bytes
• removed fpdi_pdf_parser::getInfo(), fpdi_pdf_parser::deescapeString() and fpdi_pdf_parser::hex2String(): useless for FPDI
• fpdi.php: removed superfluous constant definations
• fixed some smal bugs... ( =& new)
• removed FPDF 1.52 compatibility
• changed the handling for decodefilter
• New feature: FPDI can handle different boxes than simply the MediaBox

v1.1.1 (2005-06-29)

• fixed all fgets-calls with the second parameter to bring compatibility to PHP 4.1.2

v1.1 (2005-04-06, 2005-05-06):

• added some things to free memory when objects are not longer used.
• made FPDI 1.1 compatible with FPDF 1.53
• fixed method getPageBox() in fpdi_pdf_parser.php, which did not work correct, when the box is an object reference.

v1.1beta (2004-11-12):

Various changes:

• splitted pdf_parser in 2 classes
• Fixed major bugs for PHP Version < 4.3
• Correct fpdi_pdf_parser::hex2String to handle big/little endian hexstrings

Fixed pdf_parser::pdf_read_value:

• In very few situations it rans into an infinite loop.
• string-matching with escaped parenthesis is fixed
• hex-matching fixed

v1.02beta (2004-08-24):

• fixed a bug in pdf_parser::getPageContent() if content reference is an array

v1.01 (2004-08-10):
