v9.6.0
======
- Fixed a regression with transferring metadata from the input PDF to the output
PDF in certain situations.
- pdfminer.six is now supported up to version 2020-01-24.
- Messages are explaining page rotation decisions are now shown at the standard
verbosity level again when ``--rotate-pages``. In some previous version they
were set to debug level messages that only appeared with the parameter ``-v1``.
- Improvements to ``misc/watcher.py``. Thanks to @ianalexander and @svenihoney.
- Documentation improvements.
