+Planned changes for future 12.x (subject to change):
+ - ``QPDFObjectHandle`` will support move construction/assignment.
+ This change will be invisible to most developers but may break
+ your code if you rely on specific behavior around how many
+ references to a QPDFObjectHandle's underlying object exist. You
+ would have to write code specifically to do that, so if you're not
+ sure, then you shouldn't have to worry.
+
+ - ``QPDFObjectHandle`` will be implicitly convertible to ``bool``
+ with undefined objects evaluating to ``false``. This can simplify
+ error handling and will facilitate use of ``QPDFObjectHandle``
+ with some newer standard library constructs. This change won't
+ affect any existing code unless you have written your own
+ conversion methods to/from ``QPDFObjectHandle``. In that case,
+ it's possible that the new qpdf-provided conversion may override
+ your conversion.

- Add ``QPDF::newReserved`` as a better alternative to
``QPDFObjectHandle::newReserved``.
+ - If you add an uninitialized ``QPDFObjectHandle`` to an array,
+ qpdf will throw a ``logic_error``. It has always been invalid to
+ do this, but before, it wouldn't have been caught until later.
