v11.3.0 release notes

Commit 1327ab3 introduced a fix for a regression, which was reported
in #581, #634. It appears that the actual cause of this issue was
default parameters to rasterize_pdf_page in pluggy not working as
expected, causing a default rotation=0 even when a rotation was needed.
As such the OCR image was generated with the wrong orientation,
causing the initial regression and fix in commit 1327ab3.

Now that the real problem is identified, it's apparent that the logic
prior to 1327ab3 was found and we can revert to 1327ab3 since it fixes
all known cases including #658.

This reverts 1327ab3 except for retaining improves to rotation output.

+v11.3.0
+=======
+
+-  The "OCR" step is describing as "Image processing" in the output messages when
+   OCR is disabled, to better explain the application's behavior.
+-  Debug logs are now only created when run as a command line, and not when OCR
+   is performed for an API call. It is the calling application's responsibility
+   to set up logging.
+-  For PDFs with a low number of pages, we gathered information about the input PDF
+   in a thread rather than process (when there are more pages). When run as a
+   thread, we did not close the file handle to the working PDF, leaking one file
+   handle per call of ``ocrmypdf.ocr``.
+-  Fixed an issue where debug messages send by child worker processes did not match
+   the log settings of parent process, causing messages to be dropped. This affected
+   macOS and Windows only where the parent process is not forked.
+-  Fixed the hookspec of rasterize_pdf_page to remove default parameters that
+   were not handled in an expected way by pluggy.
+-  Fixed another issue with automatic page rotation (#658) due to the issue above.
+
+v11.2.1
+=======
+
+-  Fixed an issue where optimization of a 1-bit image with a color palette or
+   associated ICC that was optimized to JBIG2 could have its colors inverted.
+
+v11.2.0
+=======
+
+-  Fixed an issue with optimizing PNG-type images that had soft masks or image masks.
+   This is a regression introduced in (or about) v11.1.0.
+-  Improved type checking of the ``plugins`` parameter for the ``ocrmypdf.ocr``
+   API call.
+
+v11.1.2
+=======
+
+-  Fixed hOCR renderer writing the text in roughly reverse order. This should not
+   affect reasonably smart PDF readers that properly locate the position of all
+   text, but may confuse those that rely on the order of objects in the content
+   stream. (#642)
+
+v11.1.1
+=======
+
+-  We now avoid using named temporary files when using pngquant allowing containerized
+   pngquant installs to be used.
+-  Clarified an error message.
+-  Highest number of 1's in a release ever!
+
+v11.1.0
+=======
+
+-  Fixed page rotation issues: #634, #589.
+-  Fixed some cases where optimization created an invalid image such as a
+   1-bit "RGB" image: #629, #620.
+-  Page numbers are now displayed in debug logs when pages are being grafted.
+-  ocrmypdf.optimize.rewrite_png and ocrmypdf.optimize.rewrite_png_as_g4 were
+   marked deprecated. Strictly speaking these should have been internal APIs,
+   but they were never hidden.
+-  As a precaution, pikepdf mmap-based file access has been disabled due to a
+   rare race condition that causes a crash when certain objects are deallocated.
+   The problem is likely in pikepdf's dependency pybind11.
+-  Extended the example plugin to demonstrate conversion to mono.
+
+v11.0.2
+=======
+
+-  Fixed issue #612, TypeError exception. Fixed by eliminating unnecessary repair of
+   input PDF metadata in memory.

+    Before calling :func:`ocrmypdf.ocr()`, you can use this function to
+    configure logging, if you want ocrmypdf's output to look like the ocrmypdf
+    command line interface. It will register log handlers, log filters, and
+    formatters, configure color logging to standard error, and adjust the log
+    levels of third party libraries. Details of this are fine-tuned and subject
+    to change. The ``verbosity`` argument is equivalent to the argument
+    ``--verbose`` and applies those settings.
 
-    ocrmypdf will perform all of its logging under the ``"ocrmypdf"`` logging namespace.
-    In addition, ocrmypdf imports pdfminer, which logs under ``"pdfminer"``. A library
-    user may wish to configure both; note that pdfminer is extremely chatty at the log
-    level ``logging.INFO``.
+    If this function is not called, ocrmypdf will not configure logging, and it
+    is up to the caller of ``ocrmypdf.ocr()`` to set up logging as it wishes using
+    the Python standard library's logging module. If this function is called,
+    the caller may of course make further adjustments to logging.
 
-    Library users may perform additional configuration afterwards.
+    Regardless of whether this function is called, ocrmypdf will perform all of
+    its logging under the ``"ocrmypdf"`` logging namespace. In addition,
+    ocrmypdf imports pdfminer, which logs under ``"pdfminer"``. A library user
+    may wish to configure both; note that pdfminer is extremely chatty at the
+    log level ``logging.INFO``.
+
+    This function does not set up the ``debug.log`` log file that the command
+    line interface does at certain verbosity levels. Applications should configure
