v7.4.1
v8.0.0
------
No major features. The intent of this release is to sever support for older versions of certain dependencies.
**Breaking changes**
- Dropped support for Tesseract 3.x. Tesseract 4.0 or newer is now required.
- Dropped support for Python 3.5.
- Some ``ocrmypdf.pdfa`` APIs that were deprecated in v7.x were removed. This functionality has been moved to pikepdf.
**Other changes**
- Fixed an unhandled exception when attempting to mask barcodes. `#322 <https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF/issues/322>`_
- It is now possible to use ocrmypdf without pdfminer.six, to support distributions that do not have it or cannot currently use it (e.g. Homebrew). Downstream maintainers should include pdfminer.six if possible.
- A warning is now issue when PDF/A conversion removes some XMP metadata from the input PDF. (Only a "whitelist" of certain XMP metadata types are allowed in PDF/A.)
- Fixed several issues that caused PDF/As to be produced with nonconforming XMP metadata (would fail validation with veraPDF).
- Fixed some instances where invalid DocumentInfo from a PDF cause XMP metadata creation to fail.
- Fixed a few documentation problems.
- Fixed an unhandled exception when attempting to mask barcodes. #322 <https://github.com/jbarlow83/OCRmyPDF/issues/322>`_
- pikepdf 1.0.2 is now required.
