- Allow creation of markup annotations without a text selection @astoff #191
+ This means that you can now highlight an exact region, for example on OCR
PDFs! Just select the region by holding down the Meta key and dragging the
mouse. Then invoke ~pdf-annot-add-highlight-markup-annotation~ (with ~C-c C-a
h~) and voila!
+ Please note that *only the highlight markup annotation* is supported on
rectangular regions.
+- Add option to display page labels in mode line @rafaelbeirigo #331
+ + PDFs with custom page labels (Roman numerals, section numbering) can now
show these labels in the mode-line. Enable with
~pdf-view-mode-line-position-use-labels~.
+- Add ~pdf-metadata-buffer-mode~ for the metadata buffer @aidan-hall #305
+ + The metadata buffer now has its own major mode derived from
~special-mode~, allowing you to press ~q~ to close it.
+- Add horizontal scrolling support via mouse wheel @aikrahguzar #234
+ + ~mwheel-scroll-left-function~ and ~mwheel-scroll-right-function~ are now
properly set in ~pdf-view-mode~.
+- Allow ~scroll-other-window~ to work in pdf-view buffers @whatacold #280
+ + You can now scroll a PDF buffer from another window using ~C-M-v~ and
~C-M-S-v~.
+- Add gamma correction option to midnight mode @vizziv #329
+ + New customization options for gamma correction to improve contrast of
colorful text in midnight mode. Also fixes a color conversion bug (dividing by
256 instead of 255).
** Functionality improvements and fixes
- Allow setting ~selection-style~ via the Easy Menu @astoff #190

is dark #166

+- Fix: Use absolute line number in ~pdf-sync-forward-correlate~ @haselwarter
#222
+ + Forward sync now works correctly in narrowed buffers.
+- Fix: Support pdf-buffer bookmarks in workspace managers @aikrahguzar #188
+ + Bookmark restoration no longer assumes the buffer is displayed, fixing
errors with workspace managers like ~activities.el~, ~burly.el~, and
~tabspaces.el~.
+- Fix: Suppress errors when scrolling past document boundaries with ~C-n~ /
~C-p~ @benthamite #303
+ + ~pdf-view-next-line-or-next-page~ and
~pdf-view-previous-line-or-previous-page~ no longer throw errors at document
boundaries when ~debug-on-error~ is enabled.
+- Fix: Set slice to common bounding box across all pages @tpapp #326
+ + ~pdf-view-set-slice-from-bounding-box~ now computes the bounding box from
all pages, not just the current page. Closes #325.
+- Fix: Annotation sync error "No such annotation" @bramadams #260
+ + Refreshes annotations on the current page to keep buffer and file in sync.
Closes #246.
