Package: diffpdf
Version: 2.1.3-2
Consider the two files mwe1.pdf and mwe2.pdf in the attachment (obtained from
the question and answer on https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/587968
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/587968 ). In mwe1.pdf, the upper
occurrence of “c3:b” is printed twice at the same position, which results in a
visibly bolder appearance in, e.g., evince, okular or qpdfview at 100%
magnification. In mwe2.pdf, the upper occurrence of “c3:b” is printed once as
usual. These files visibly differ. Sometimes you do wish to catch these small
variations. However, diffpdf says, “The PDFs appear to be the same” regardless
of what you compare: words, characters, or appearance. Could you please make
diffpdf actually notice the difference?
Thanks for the bugfix in advance,
Peter

Closes: 767157 1007939 1041494 1051422 1094167
Changes:
diffpdf (2.1.3.1-4) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Fix regressions from the port to new-style signal/slot connections:
- changing zoom, margins, etc. no longer jumps to an unrelated page
or fails to redraw (closes: #1041494, #1051422)
- choosing a pen or brush style no longer disables OK in the options
dialog (closes: #1094167)
* Parallel comparison: only touch the GUI from the GUI thread, which
caused QSocketNotifier and QTextBlock warnings; give each thread its
own Poppler document, as concurrent rendering of one document crashed
intermittently; initialize per-page results; log in page order.
* --save-and-quit: do not append a blank page or drop the last
differing page; accept --save-and-quit=FILE; exit 0/1/2 for
same/different/trouble like diff(1); report errors on stderr instead
of in dialogs and do not show the window; document in man page.
* Store settings in ~/.config/DiffPDF/ rather than ~/.config/Qtrac Ltd./,
migrating old settings, and document this in the man page
(closes: #767157)
* Compare appearance using antialiased rendering, as displayed, so that
e.g. overprinted (bolder) text is detected (closes: #1007939)
* Port to Qt 6 and poppler-qt6, based on the port on the main branch
and the macOS port disparPDF, fixing a double free in text box
handling.
