2024.6.0

New Features:

• Paragraph Formatting: Added support for paragraph spacing and first-line indentation.
• SVG Output: Introduced support for SVG output format.
• Exception Messaging: Improved exception messages for layout issues, providing detailed information and suspected locations.

Enhancements:

• Content Drawing: Enhanced default content drawing behavior, so content does not unexpectedly repeat in certain cases.
• Library Dependencies: Disabled visibility of native dependencies and the Lato font for cleaner output.
• Compatibility Messaging: Enhanced compatibility exception messages for supported but potentially outdated environments.
• Image Loading: Added fallback path for image loading to enhance development experience on ASP.NET.
• Color Conversion: Added implicit conversion from hex numbers to color.
• Inline Element: Simplified implementation and improved performance.
• Column Element: Simplified implementation and improved performance.

Bug Fixes:

• Column Element: Resolved instability issues in nested layouts with spacing and zero-sized elements.
• JPEG Quality: Disabled JPEG image downsampling/downscaling to maintain the highest quality levels.
• Image Compression: Disabled additional image compression performed by Skia.
• Fixed Text.LineHeight calculation.

2024.3.10

• Updated Skia to M126 release,
• Enhancement: SVG content supports embedded PNG/JPEG images,
• Enhancement: SVG content supports loading external images from application local directory.

2024.3.9

• Fixed: the thickness of text decorations was significantly higher than defined by the font settings.

2024.3.7

• Introduced an explicit CallingConvention.Cdecl to address and fix the issue of stack imbalance on Windows platforms.

2024.3.6

• Introduced support for the win-x86 platform.
• Improved SVG image support for less common unit types.
• Enhanced automated testing environment.

2024.3.5

• Enhancement: text uses half-leading by default.
• Fixed: default text decoration color should match font color.
• Fixed: the Column element may not render successfully when it has non-zero spacing, contains a child with zero height, and is repeated.

2024.3.4

• Improved font rendering by setting half-leading when line-height is overridden.
• Enhanced exception messages for unsupported x86 platforms.

2024.3.3

• Improved the default scaling behavior of Image and SvgImage elements when they are direct descendants of the Constrained element (Width, Height, MinWidth, MinHeight, MaxWidth, MaxHeight).
• Enhanced handling of texts containing the carriage return character '\r' within the custom page format setting.
• Fixed: enhanced the handling of the TextStyle.LineHeight modifier for better consistency with industry-standard software, as well as adjusted the default value.
• Fixed: when the UseEnvironmentFonts setting is enabled, the Lato font was not being properly registered. This issue could lead to runtime exceptions in specific minimal environments.
• Fixed: Addressed a potential null reference exception in the SvgImage object’s finalizer that could lead to application crashes when handling invalid SVG content.

2024.3.2

• Introduced support for the linux-musl-x64 platform.
• Adjusted how the Lato font is embedded in the NuGet package to prevent issues with the files not being provided on the platform-specific runtimes.
• Improved compatibility with texts that contain the carriage return character '\r'.
• Enhanced exception messages when the FontManager.RegisterFont method fails due to an invalid font file.
• Enhanced the Canvas element deprecation message by adding a link to the documentation.
• Fixed: the SVG image is not always scaled properly, especially when uses relative units internally (percentage, cm, "mm", etc.).
• Fixed a sporadic AccessViolationException that occurred when UseEnvironmentFonts was set to false and documents were generated in parallel.
• Fixed an issue where dynamic SVG images were not utilizing the available space correctly. This resulted in images with a zero size.

2024.3.1

• Enhanced discoverability of text alignment options (AlignLeft, AlignCenter, AlignRight, AlignStart, AlignEnd and Justify) when using the shorthand Text method (common use case).
• To enhance compatibility with existing codebases, we've removed the breaking change associated with the deprecation of the TextStyle.Fallback method. Although this method remains obsolete, we've reintroduced it with a compatibility layer to prevent disruptions.
• Enhanced compatibility with dotnet standard projects.
• Fix: on the Windows platform, the "Could not find an appropriate font fallback for the following glyphs: $U-000D" exception is thrown when the "QuestPDF.Settings.CheckIfAllTextGlyphsAreAvailable" is set true, and the "TextDescriptor.Line" method is used (that inserts the '\r' character).
• Fix: resolved an issue where the positioning of hyperlinks was incorrect when text contained injected block items.
