Version 4.1.0, 2024-03-03

What's new

Generating name objects (NameObject) without a leading slash is considered deprecated now. Previously, just a plain warning would be logged, leading to possibly invalid PDF files. According to our deprecation policy, this will log a DeprecationWarning for now.
