OCRmyPDF uses `semantic versioning `_.
-v4.4.1:
-=======
+
+v4.4.2
+======
+
+- The Docker images (ocrmypdf, ocrmypdf-polyglot, ocrmypdf-tess4) are now based on Ubuntu 16.10 instead of Debian stretch
+
+ + This makes supporting the Tesseract 4 image easier
+ + This could be a disruptive change for any Docker users who built customized these images with their own changes, and made those changes in a way that depends on Debian and not Ubuntu
+
+- OCRmyPDF now prevents running the Tesseract 4 renderer with Tesseract 3.04, which was permitted in v4.4 and v4.4.1 but will not work
+
+
+v4.4.1
+======
- To prevent a `TIFF output error `_ caused by img2pdf >= 0.2.1 and Pillow <= 3.4.2, dependencies have been tightened
-- The Tesseract 4.00 simultaenous process limit was increased from 1 to 2, since it was observed that 1 lowers performance
+- The Tesseract 4.00 simultaneous process limit was increased from 1 to 2, since it was observed that 1 lowers performance
- Documentation improvements to describe the ``--tesseract-config`` feature
- Added test cases and fixed error handling for ``--tesseract-config``
- Tweaks to setup.py to deal with issues in the v4.4 release
-v4.4:

+v4.4

- Tesseract 4.00 is now supported on an experimental basis.

+ However, OCRmyPDF's dependency "ruffus" is not re-entrant, so no Python API is available. Scripts should continue to use the command line interface.
-v4.3.5:
-=======
+v4.3.5
+======
- Update documentation to confirm Python 3.6.0 compatibility. No code changes were needed, so many earlier versions are likely supported.
-v4.3.4:
-=======
+v4.3.4
+======
- Fixed "decimal.InvalidOperation: quantize result has too many digits" for high DPI images
-v4.3.3:

- Fixed PDF/A creation with Ghostscript 9.20 properly
- Fixed an exception on inline stencil masks with a missing optional parameter
-v4.3.2:
-=======
+v4.3.2
+======
- Fixed a PDF/A creation issue with Ghostscript 9.20 (note: this fix did not actually work)
-v4.3.1:
-=======
+v4.3.1
+======
- Fixed an issue where pages produced by the "hocr" renderer after a Tesseract timeout would be rotated incorrectly if the input page was rotated with a /Rotate marker
- Fixed a file handle leak in LeptonicaErrorTrap that would cause a "too many open files" error for files around hundred pages of pages long when ``--deskew`` or ``--remove-background`` or other Leptonica based image processing features were in use, depending on the system value of ``ulimit -n``

+v2.2-stable (2014-09-29)
+========================
OCRmyPDF versions 1 and 2 were implemented as shell scripts. OCRmyPDF 3.0+ is a fork that gradually replaced all shell scripts with Python while maintaining the existing command line arguments. No one is maintaining old versions.
