    - Support text box :shape, :!kern option combination. I.e. shaping,
      but without horizontal kerning.

0.8.0  2024-02-15T13:09:07+13:00
    - Add text-box :$direction and :$bidi options. These require
      installation of the optional Text::FriBidi Raku module.

0.7.7  2024-02-07T08:26:57+13:00
    - Store original text atoms in text lines @!decoded attribute.

   - Handle missing Ascender, Descender metric values in height
     calculations for ZapfDingbats & Symbol core fonts.

0.7.5  2024-01-28T12:02:11+13:00
   - Implicitly set baseline to match valign so that the entire
     text box and, in particular, a single line of text is aligned
     as expected - see https://github.com/pdf-raku/PDF-API6/issues/17

0.7.4  2024-01-21T10:47:12+13:00

   - Add core-font shape method with ligatures and kerning.
   - Add PDF::Content::Font::Encoder interface role

0.7.2  2023-10-17T06:40:11+13:00

   - Tone down text-box :valign to only affect the text flow of multi-
     line text boxes. This removes the overlap with :baseline-shift.
     They no longer combine to allow shifting of Text boxes by up to
     two lines #16

   - Exclude invisible text from text-flow calculations

0.6.13  2023-08-02T13:02:41+12:00
   - Fixes to return positional values of Graphics .print and .say methods:
     my ($x0, $y0, $x1, $y1) = $gfx.print("text");
     -- Track and take account of current text flow in computing $x0, $x1:
        This is only an issue if the text is continuing the current line
     -- Add any :$baseline offset to $y0, $y1.

0.6.12  2023-06-30T07:17:24+12:00
   - Export PDF::Content::Font::Enc::Type1 :Type1EncodingScheme
   - Fix over-generalised caching of fonts

0.6.11  2023-06-29T08:23:35+12:00
   - Add PDF::Content user-coords() method. This is the inverse of
     the existing base-coords() method.
   - Added automatic font object loading from the content stream. See
     tests in t/text-box.t. Also requires PDF::Font::Loader.
   - Added type() and encoding() methods to core fonts for improved
     compatibility with PDF::Font::Loader::FontObj objects.

0.6.10  2023-03-15T07:04:53+13:00
   - Add PDF::Content::API role. A set of base methods for
     content APIs (PDF::Class, PDF::Lite).
   - Make to-landscape() available as an exportable sub

0.6.9  2022-11-28T07:27:39+13:00
   - Fix font over-encoding of glyphs not actually present in
     particular core fonts,

   - Revert loading of tag dictionaries from 0.6.4 release

0.6.4  2022-06-09T09:35:37+12:00
   - Convert ops to PDF 0.5.8+ :lite AST

0.6.3  2022-06-07T16:49:54+12:00
   - Adjust tests for PDF 0.5.8. Use PDF::COS::Util from-ast()
     sub in PDF::Content::Ops for proper encapsulation

0.6.2  2022-05-26T15:12:29+12:00
   - Fix PDF::Content::PageTree add-pages() method

   - Fix PDF::Class regression in 0.6.0
   - Add Cache subclass to PDF::Font::CoreFont. Use it in
     PDFTiny test class for PDF level caching #15

0.6.0  2022-05-10T11:01:38+12:00
   This release targets parallel thread-safe page construction
   - Bump dependents PDF and Font::AFM to thread-safe versions
   - Add PDF::Content::PageTree page-fragment() and pages-fragment() methods.
     These are individual pages or page-trees for concurrent composition.
     They can be built in parallel and in any order before being added
     sequentially using the add-page() method.
   - Make core-fonts and 'require' of classes thread safe. These seem to
     be the main internal areas of thread-safety contention

0.5.17  2022-03-25T08:53:53+13:00
   - Add text box Str() method

     `$gfx.FillAlpha = 0.5; $gfx.FillAlpha = 0.5` was resulting in
     two separate resource entries.

0.5.13  2021-12-16T09:14:53+13:00
   - Replaced $*ActualText with PDF::Content.actual-text() attribute

0.5.12  2021-12-11T08:23:28+13:00
   - Add underline-position() and underline-thickness() methods. Unscaled in
     PDF::Content::FontObj and scaled in PDF::Content::Text::Box. Available
     also in PDF::Font::Loader::FontObj v0.5.16+.
   - Add iterate-pages() method

0.5.11  2021-12-03T12:10:07+13:00

0.5.9  2021-10-12T17:38:03+13:00
  - Deprecate PDF::Content::Tags owner() in favour of canvas()

0.5.8  2021-10-08T14:36:22+13:00
  - Deprecate canvas(&code) for drawing to an HTML::Canvas in favour
    of html-canvas(&code).
  - canvas() method now returns the PDF::Content::Canvas containing
    object, either a Page, XObject Form or Pattern.

0.5.7  2021-10-02T08:19:46+13:00
  - Use PDF::Content v0.5.7+ PDF::Content::Canvas role for composing
    XObject Forms and Tiling Pattern classes

0.5.6  2021-09-14T09:24:28+12:00
   - Fix PDF::Content do() positioning for XObject Forms
   - Changed PDF::Context::Text::Style handling of :$baseline option. Use
     font.ascender as top point, rather than font.bbox.y

0.5.5  2021-07-16T14:26:05+12:00
   - Added block form of paint() method. $gfx.paint(&code, |c)) is equivalent to
     $gfx.Save; code(gfx); $gfx.paint(|c); $gfx.Restore;
   - make page bbox() method order from bottom left corner. So a page with
     /MediaBox [ 0 0 612 -792 ] is returned as [0, -792, 612, 0]

0.5.4  2021-07-07T11:28:02+12:00
   PDF::Font::Loader v0.5.5+ compatibility:
   - Font decoding now has three stages decode($bytes, :cids), decode($bytes, :ords) and
     decode() [text-string, default].
   - Font encoding has two stages encode($text, :cids), encode($text) [byte-string, default].
   - type-check text-box() arguments. Make sure we've got a font dictionary
     or a font object

0.5.3  2021-07-02T13:37:20+12:00
  - Add cid-map-glyph() callback for PDF::Font::Loader

0.5.2  2021-06-23T13:43:44+12:00

0.5.0  2021-03-25T09:36:34+13:00
  - Add PDF::Content::FontObj - interface role for font manipulation
    objects.
  - core-font() method now returns the font-object of type
    PDF::Content::FontObj, rather than font dictionary. This is for
    consistency with PDF::Font::Loader. This allows type-checking.
    Also, a font object is more likely to be useful to an end user.

0.4.13  2021-03-13T14:33:18+13:00
  - Fix :WordSpacing option in text boxes #13

0.4.12  2021-03-11T11:35:37+13:00
  - Fix use-font() method to simply check for uniqueness of the font
    dictionary. The former (deep) equivalence check is incompatible
    with PDF::Font::Loader 0.4.0+, which builds font dictionaries lazily.
  - Add a current-point() accessor; valid during path construction

0.4.11  2021-02-08T16:42:42+13:00
  - Add matrix reflection method. Put its order to be applied
    after rotation and before skew.
  - Add requirement for Font::AFM version 1.24.4+.
  - Add tests for the new method.
  - Deprecate PDF::Content::Text::Block class in favor of
    PDF::Content::Text::Box and text-block() method in favour of
    text-block(). "Text blocks" already commonly refers to BeginText ..
    EndText regions in a content stream. Call them "text boxes" instead.

0.4.10  2021-01-21T14:04:44+13:00
  - Fix paint() method use of ClosePath op
  - Fix nesting of text blocks in :trace output

    to MacRomanEncoding that includes various additional characters

Release 0.4.8
- Fixed missing renaming of PDF::Writer to PDF::IO::Writer in test suite.

Release 0.4.7

- Fix array flattening issue in SetDashPattern.

Release 0.4.5
- Fix for PDF::API6 #8 - truncation of large JPEG images
- Renamed github project/Rep
- Text blocks now preserve multi spaces by default. :squish option
  gives old behaviour - collapse multiple spaces to a single space;
  Thanks Tom Browder

Release 0.4.4
- Remove PDF::Content::Tag::* sub-classes. Strip back to content
  related tags only. Functionality exported to PDF::Tags (under
  construction).

- fixed building of Structured Parent Tree

Release 0.4.2

  only struct elem nodes that need to be named correctly).
- also remove BBox attribute from Marked content and rename tags to /Text
  and /Image respectively.

Release 0.4.1
- .print() and .say() methods now always return block coordinates
- .tag() returns the return value of the executed block

  -- Setting both :comment and :trace now causes tracing to be written as
     comments to PDF content streams
