Release - v0.18.0

1 September 2021

We have update the layout system so each layout (flow, grid, flex, etc) is not dependent directly on other layouts. This should however not affect your application unless you have done any deep customization.

Typeset.sh now supports PDF object streams and will save PDFs as version 1.6 by default. Object streams allow to further compress the PDF. This is quite useful as we started supporting tagged PDFs since version 1.6 and those objects may increase the filesize a bit. Placing those object in one bucket and compressing them will decrease the file further.

Minor release - v0.17.6

27 August 2021

QR Code - Allow custom encoding.

PHP 7.2

24 August 2021

All things must come to an end. The official PHP7.2 support ended December 2020. We have continued supporting PHP 7.2 as it was not a big issue for us, but the release of PHP8.1 is coming soon.

Since we heavily rely on PHPUnit which does not support PHP 7.2 anymore so we decided that version 0.18.0 will be the last release officially supporting PHP 7.2. Future releases will most likely still work with it, however we will drop it from our CI pipeline and composer json and therefore will not run any automated tests anymore.

Having said that, we will of cause continue supporting PHP 7.3 till the end of its life (Dec 2021) while we will also get ready for PHP 8.1.
