PyMuPDF-1.24.0 has been released.

Wheels for Windows, Linux and MacOS, and the sdist, are available on pypi.org and can be installed in the usual way, for example:

python -m pip install --upgrade pymupdf

[Linux-aarch64 wheels will be built and uploaded later.]

Changes in version 1.24.0 (2024-03-21)

• Fixed issues:

  • Fixed Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully #3281
  • Fixed PyMuPDF no longer builds in Alpine Linux #3279
  • Fixed apply_redactions() deleting text outside of annoted box #3257
  • Fixed AttributeError: 'Annot' object has no attribute '__del__' #3216
  • Fixed get_drawings's items is missing line from h path operator #3207
  • Fixed Memory leaks when merging PDFs #3201
  • Fixed page.get_text() returns hexadecimal text for some characters #3197
  • Fixed Remove text not working in 1.23.25 version vs 1.20.2 #3196
  • Fixed PDF's 45º lines dissapearing in png conversion #3172
  • Fixed Do not log warnings to stdout #3135
  • Fixed get_pixmap method stuck on one page and runs forever #3125
  • Fixed There is an issue with the image generated by the page.get_pixmap() function #2964

• Other:

  • Use MuPDF-1.24.0.

  • Add support for redacting vector graphics.

  • Several fixes for table module

    • Add new method for outputting the table as a markdown string.

    • Address errors in computing the table header object:

      We now allow None as the cell value, because this will be resolved where
      needed (e.g. in the pandas DataFrame).

      We previously tried to enforce rect-like tuples in all header cell
      bboxes, however this fails for tables with all-None columns. This fix
      enables this and constructs an empty string in the corresponding cell
      string.

      We now correctly include start / stop points of lines in the bbox of the
      clustered graphic. We previously joined the line's rectangle - which had
      no effect because this is always empty.

  • Improved exception text if we fail to open document.

  • Fixed build with new libclang 18.
