+
+-   pikepdf >= 0.9.1 is now required.

+-   Changed metadata handling to pikepdf 0.9.1. As a result, metadata handling of non-ASCII characters in Ghostscript 9.25 or later is fixed.

+
+-   python-xmp-toolkit and libexempi are no longer required.
+
+-   A new Docker image is now being provided for users who wish to access OCRmyPDF over a simple HTTP interface, instead of the command line.
