:mega: borb release notes

This release is more of an aesthetic release.

• The imports have been reviewed,
• a lot of code comments have been reviewed (adding parameters where needed)

A new feature (related to redaction) was added.

• FaceDetectionEventListener runs through a Document and triggers _face_occurred whenever a face is detected (in an image)
• FaceEraserEventListener (based on FaceDetectionEventListener) adds the typical (pixelated) blur to any detected face

:mega: borb release notes

• Added A4PortraitInvoiceTemplate
• Added tests for A4PortraitInvoiceTemplate
• Bugfix in HeterogeneousParagraph

• Removed dependency on lxml, which is only needed for HTMLToPDF

:mega: borb release notes

• Added pretty much all the LayoutElement implementations to the easy imports.
• Added a LayoutElement called Map with implementations MapOfEurope, MapOfTheUnitedStates and MapOfTheWorld. These LayoutElement instances draw a map of their respective territories, and allow you to mark one or multiple components with a different fill_color, stroke_color and line_width.
• Fixed tests related to unsplash API.
• Added tests for A4PortraitTemplate.
• Added tests for A42ColumnPortraitTemplate.
• Added tests for SlideTemplate.
• Added TestCreateFullSlideTemplate. Check out this TestCase if you want a concrete example of how to use SlideTemplate to produce a beautiful slideshow in PDF.

:mega: borb release notes

• Added some utility methods in LayoutElement
  • get_golden_ratio_landscape_box
  • get_golden_ratio_portrait_box
  • get_largest_landscape_box
  • get_smallest_landscape_box
• Removed _calculate_min_and_max_layout_box from TableCell
• Added tests for get_golden_ratio_landscape_box
• Added tests for get_golden_ratio_portrait_box
• Added utility class A4PortraitTemplate
  • This class represents an A4_PORTRAIT Document
  • It contains methods that allow you to directly add content to it
  • All the content-adding methods have sensible defaults (font, font_size, font_color, etc)
  • This class has a utility method to immediately save the Document
• Added tests for A4PortraitTemplate
• Fixed small bug in add_outline in Document

:mega: borb release notes

• fixed bug in SingleColumnLayoutWithOverflow
• replaced list += [] by list.append() for performance reasons

:mega: borb release notes

• add Watermark LayoutElement, representing a piece of text laid out over the entire Page. Users can specify the text, font_size, font_color, rotation, and transparency
• add Watermark to easy imports
• add tests for Watermark
• re-implement MultiColumnLayout, with better handling of headers and footers
• update requirements.txt where possible
• reworked a couple of tests, ensuring they can run without dependencies as well
• added a fair use warning to ensure people know the difference between using borb in an open-source vs. commercial setting. This warning is only triggered when producing a high volume of PDF documents.

:mega: borb release notes

This release features the arrival of RGBA Image objects in borb. There is also a significant speedup in text layout due to a clever width-estimation.

:mega: borb release notes

This release refactors the testing in borb.

• All tests have been refactored into directories corresponding the main functionality they test
  • E.g. tests for Equation (in borb.pdf.canvas.layout.equation) can be found in tests.pdf.canvas.layout.equation
  • Tests derive from TestCase
    • TestCase offers some utility methods to standardize output files
    • TestCase offers the methods to visually compare an output
    • TestCase offers the methods to check a PDF using a validator

:mega: borb release notes

This release is a feature release:

• Added Equation to the LayoutElement hierarchy

  • Equation allows you to easily add mathematical expressions to a PDF
  • Determine the font, font_size, font_color and many other attributes
  • Equation behaves just like any other LayoutElement

• Fix minor issue in SimpleFindReplace

• Fix minor issue in Image (present for Image objects with mode LA)

• Fix vertical_alignment for Table implementations

  • vertical_alignment is now relative to the Table rather than to the Page
  • This approach does incur the cost of having to determine the tallest LayoutElement in the row
