-10.6.3 + cmake: March 19, 2022
- - This is an unofficial release and is marked as "pre-release" at
- github. It is intended for developers and packagers who want to
- test out the new build system.
-
- - The old autoconf-based build has been replaced with CMake. Version
- 3.16 or newer is required. For all the details, please read
- :ref:`installing` and, if you package qpdf for a distribution,
- :ref:`packaging`.
-
- - For the most part, other than being familiar with generally how to
- build things with cmake, what you need to know to convert your
- build over is described in :ref:`autoconf-to-cmake`. Here are a
- few changes in behavior to be aware of:
-
- - Example sources are installed by default in the documentation
- directory.
+11.0.0
+ - Replacement of ``PointerHolder`` with ``std::shared_ptr``
+
+ - The qpdf-specific ``PointerHolder`` smart pointer implementation
+ has now been completely replaced with ``std::shared_ptr``
+ through the qpdf API. Please see :ref:`smart-pointers` for
+ details about this change and a comprehensive migration plan.
+ Note that a backward-compatible ``PointerHolder`` class is
+ provided and is enabled by default. A warning is issued, but
+ this can be turned off by following the migration steps outlined
+ in the manual.

+ - Build replaced with cmake
+

+ 3.16 or newer is required. For all the details, please read

+
+ - Example sources are installed by default in the documentation
+ directory.
+
+ - The configure options to enable image comparison and large file
+ tests have been replaced by environment variables. The old
+ options set environment variables behind the scenes. Before, to
+ skip image tests, you had to set
+ ``QPDF_SKIP_TEST_COMPARE_IMAGES=1``, which was done by default.
+ Now these are off by default, and you have to set
+ ``QPDF_TEST_COMPARE_IMAGES=1`` to enable them.
+
+ - In the default configuration, the native crypto provider is only
+ selected when explicitly requested or when there are no other
+ options. See :ref:`crypto.build` for a detailed discussion.
+
+ - Windows external libraries are detected by default if the
+ :file:`external-libraries` directory is found. Static libraries
+ for zlib, libjpeg, and openssl are provided as described in
+ :file:`README-windows.md`. They are only compatible with
+ non-debug builds.
+
+ - A new directory called ``pkg-tests`` has been added which
+ contains short shell scripts that can be used to smoke test an
+ installed qpdf package. These are used by the debian
+ ``autopkgtest`` framework but can be used by others. See
+ :file:`pkg-test/README.md` for details.
+
+ - Other changes
+
+ - A new chapter on contributing to qpdf has been added to the
+ documentation. See :ref:`contributing`.
+
+ - The qpdf source code is now formatted automatically with
+ ``clang-format``. See :ref:`code-formatting` for information.
