+	* New method QPDFObjectHandle::parsePageContents() to improve upon
+	QPDFObjectHandle::parseContentStream(). The parseContentStream
+	method used to operate on a single content stream, but was fixed
+	to properly handle pages with contents split across multiple
+	streams in an earlier release. The new method parsePageContents()
+	can be called on the page object rather than the value of the
+	page dictionary's /Contents key. This removes a few lines of
+	boiler-plate code from any code that uses parseContentStream, and
+	it also enables creation of more helpful error messages if
+	problems are encountered as the error messages can include
+	information about which page the streams come from.
