v1.1.0

Improve overall user experience

  • Make selection-style configurable when selecting text, via
    pdf-view-selection-style @hrdl-github #73
    • This feature enabled us to change the default selection-style used
      in pdf-tools from GLYPH to WORD.
    • The change makes highlighting / selecting text much snappier. If
      you want to go back to the old behaviour of selecting by glyph
      instead of word, or if you want to select a whole line instead,
      customize pdf-view-selection-style
  • Track rotation of pages and add a command to make rotation of pages
    easy @Vizs #165
    • The new command is bound to R in pdf-view-mode-map.
  • Add support for maintaining hue in pdf-view-midnight-minor-mode
    using the OKLab color space @smithzvk #69 #197
    • This inversion method is now enabled by default and can be
      controlled by the pdf-view-midnight-invert variable. Check out the
      images in the PR for how beautiful the colors look in midnight mode
      now.
    • Also thanks to @Atreyagaurav for pushing fixes which improved this
      feature.

Functionality fixes and improvements

  • Fix: Saving a PDF when buffer-file-name is missing will now prompt
    for a filename (eg: in EWW) @akater #178
  • Fix: Ensure pixel-scroll-precision-mode is deactivated correctly
    @mssdvd #206

Installation and Platform Compatibility improvements

Please note: as of this release, users are not expected to manually set
anything on their machines during installation. (for example:
$PKG_CONFIG_PATH). The installation should just work. If it does
not, please open a ticket so that we can track it.

  • Add cairo-devel to Void Linux package list @crzjp #203
