New features
------------
- Easier installation with Python's package manager
- Now installs ``ocrmypdf`` to ``/usr/local/bin`` or equivalent for system-wide
access
- Tesseract 3.03 PDF page can be used instead for better positioning
of recognized text (``--pdf-renderer tesseract``)
- Improved command line syntax and usage help (``--help``)
- PDF metadata (title, author, keywords) are now transferred to the
output PDF
- PDF metadata can also be set from the command line (``--title``, etc.)
- Added test cases to confirm everything is working
- Added option to skip extremely large pages that take too long to OCR and are
often not OCRable (e.g. large scanned maps or diagrams); other pages are still
processed (``--skip-big``)
- Added option to kill Tesseract OCR process if it seems to be taking too long on
a page, while still processing other pages (``--tesseract-timeout``)
Changes
-------
- New, robust Python 3.4+ implementation based on ruffus pipelines
- New, robust rewrite in Python 3.4+ with ruffus_ pipelines
- Now uses Ghostscript 9.14's improved color conversion model
- All "tasks" in the pipeline can be executed in parallel on any
available CPUs
- Removed dependencies on several packages:
- parallel
- ImageMagick
- Python 2.7
- shell
- Updated dependencies
- Ghostscript 9.14
- Unpaper 6.1 (now optional)
- Tesseract 3.02 and 3.03
- Python's reportlab 3
- Unpaper 6.1 is now an optional dependency
available CPUs, increasing performance
- The ``-o DPI`` argument has been phased out, in favor of ``--oversample DPI``
- Removed several dependencies, so it's easier to install. We no
longer use:
- GNU parallel_
- ImageMagick_
- Python 2.7
- shell scripts
- Some new external dependencies are required:
- MuPDF_ tools
- Ghostscript 9.14+
- Unpaper_ 6.1 (optional)
- some automatically managed Python dependencies

Compatibility notes
-------------------
- ``./OCRmyPDF.sh`` script is still available for now
- Stacking the verbosity option like ``-vvv`` is no longer supported
- The configuration file ``config.sh`` has been removed. Instead, you can
feed a file to the arguments for common settings:
::
ocrmypdf input.pdf output.pdf @settings.txt
where ``settings.txt`` contains, for example:
::
-l deu --author 'A. Merkel' --pdf-renderer tesseract
Fixes
-----
- Document metadata from the source PDF is copied to the output PDF
(Title, Author, etc.)
- Handling of filenames containing spaces: fixed
Notes
-----
- Some dependencies may work with lower versions than tested, so try
overriding dependencies if they are "in the way" to see if they work.
