v0.8.0

Changed

• Change the (still experimental) Page/utils.extract_text(layout=True) approach so that it pads, to the degree necessary, the ends of lines with spaces and the end of the text with blank lines to acheive better mimicry of page layout. (d3662de)
• Refactor handling of pts attribute and, in doing so, deprecate the curve_obj["points"] attribute, and fix PageImage.draw_line(...)'s handling of diagonal lines. (216bedd)
• Breaking change: In Page.extract_table[s](...), keep_blank_chars must now be passed as text_keep_blank_chars, for consistency's sake. (c4e1b29)

Added

• Add Page.extract_table[s](...) support for all Page.extract_text(...) keyword arguments. (c4e1b29)
• Add height and width keyword arguemnts to Page.to_image(...). (#798 + 93f7dbd)
• Add layout_width, layout_width_chars, layout_height, and layout_width_chars parameters to Page/utils.extract_text(layout=True). (d3662de)
• Add CITATION.cff. (#755) [h/t @joaoccruz]

Fixed

• Fix simple edge-case for when page rotation is (incorrectly) set to None. (#811) [h/t @toshi1127]

Development Changes

• Convert utils.py into utils/ submodules. Retains same interface, just an improvement in organization. (6351d97)
• Fix typing hints to include io.BytesIO. (d4107f6) [h/t @conitrade-as]
• Refactor text-extraction utilities, paving way for better consistency across various entrypoints to text extraction (e.g., via utils.extract_text(...), via Page.extract_text(...), via Page.extract_table(...)). (3424b57)
