Fix main.txt

With the new pikepdf 1.2.0 we no longer need to hold file handles
open because of the "copy to memory" functionality. We retain
the behavior of closing/reopening the output PDF every 100 pages as
a way to limit memory usage.

 PDFs are page description files that attempts to preserve a layout exactly. They  contain `vector graphics <http://vector-conversions.com/vectorizing/raster_vs_vector.html>`_ that can contain raster objects such as scanned images. Because PDFs can contain multiple pages (unlike many image formats) and can contain fonts and text, it is a good formats for exchanging scanned documents.

+.. image:: images/bitmap_vs_svg.svg
 
 A PDF page might contain multiple images, even if it only appears to have one image.  Some scanners or scanning software will segment pages into monochromatic text and color regions for example, to improve the compression ratio and appearance of the page.

+v8.2.4
+------
+
+-   Fixed a false positive while checking for a certain type of PDF that only Acrobat can read. We now more accurately detect Acrobat-only PDFs.
+
+-   OCRmyPDF holds fewer open file handles and is more prompt about releasing those it no longer needs.
+
+-   Minor optimization: we no longer traverse the table of contents to ensure all references in it are resolved, as changes to libqpdf have made this unnecessary.

+-   pikepdf 1.2.0 is now required
+
+v8.2.3
+------
+
+-   Fixed that ``--mask-barcodes`` would occasionally leave a unwanted temporary file named ``junkpixt`` in the current working folder.
