Full Changelog: v0.16.1...v0.16.2

v0.16.1

KlarPDF v0.16.1 "Simplify & Read" delivers the R6 UI tranche — the Preview-inspired simplification built on one idea: the app at rest is a viewer; the markup kit is chrome you summon on demand.

This release supersedes v0.16.0, which was tagged but never published: a pre-release audit caught the pypdf advisories below, so R6 ships here as v0.16.1 with the fix included. Changes are shown against the last published release, v0.15.0.

Highlights

• Two-tier toolbar — a calm reading bar at rest; a Markup toggle summons the full markup kit (its visibility is remembered app-wide).
• View modes — Full Screen (F11), Slideshow, and a Two-Page facing layout.
• One gesture-detecting Redact — drag on text for a text redaction, drag elsewhere to rubber-band a block.
• Sticky markup arming — Highlight / Underline / Strike Out / Pen stay armed to mark passage after passage.
• Arrowheads are line style — Arrow folds into Line with none/start/end/both ends, plus a dashed stroke.
• Find bar — Match case + Whole words toggles.
• Annotations sidebar — a tab listing every text mark, click to jump (shown only when the document has marks).
• Right-click a mark to recolour, or add and remove markup layers in place.
• Object editing — arrow-key nudge, text-box width reflow, and a split Line-Styling / Colors / Opacity style menu.
• Simplified sidebar (no title bar, optional tabs on demand) and two search fixes (large-document find-as-you-type; search matches the page's printed text only).

Security

• Bumps pypdf 6.13.3 → 6.14.2, fixing four upstream crafted-PDF denial-of-service advisories (CVE-2026-59935 / 59936 / 59937 / 59938). pypdf is the best-effort fallback engine (PyMuPDF is authoritative and handles text extraction), so exposure was limited and DoS-only.
