Update to 2.039

Upstream changes:
2.039     2021-03-04

    - PDF::API2->open($filename) no longer reads the entire file into memory
      before working on it, instead reading from the file as needed.  This
      results in a substantial reduction in memory usage and start-up time for
      large PDF files, particularly in cases where the calling script doesn't
      need to access all of the contents of the PDF.

    - PDF files containing cross-reference streams can now be modified and saved
      normally.  Previously, they were read-only.

    - $text->paragraph(...) and $text->paragraphs(...) (formerly \ 
"section") are
      no longer undocumented and experimental.  If you were previously using
      them at your own risk, note that "-spillover" is no longer an \ 
option (text
      will always wrap inside the specified width if possible).  In addition,
      paragraphs(...) no longer collapses consecutive newlines.

    - [RT #98546] There is now an -align-last option for justified text to
      specify how the final line should be justified.  Left is still the
      default.

    - Code in the PDF::API2::Basic::PDF namespace was originally licensed under
      the Perl Artistic License, which has been determined to not be
      (L)GPL-compatible.  Martin Hosken has graciously granted an MIT license
      for use of his code contained in PDF::API2, so the distribution may now be
      used solely under the terms of the LGPL rather than requiring both
      licenses simultaneously.  Many thanks to Petr Pisar for his help in
      working through the licensing issues.

    - Renamed $text->lead(...) to $text->leading(...).  The old name is
      deprecated but will continue to work.  If you're modifying PDF::API2
      objects by editing their hash values instead of using these accessors,
      you'll need to update your code.

    - Added a -compress option (on by default) to PDF::API2->new(), open(), and
      open_scalar().  If disabled, most streams won't be compressed, which can
      simplify debugging.

Log message:
p5-PDF-API2: update to 2.038.

2.038     2020-08-31

    - Use PDF::API2::XS or Image::PNG::Libpng, if either is installed, to speed
      up inclusion of PNG files with an alpha channel by an order of magnitude
      (written by Rob Scovell, sponsored by prayerletters.com).

2.037     2020-02-05

    - Allow PDF 2.0 files to be opened.

    - [RT #131147] Ignore dictionary entries with null values (reported by Klaus
      Ethgen, fix by Vadim Repin).

Log message:
Update to 2.036

Upstream changes:
2.036     2019-09-17

    - Eliminate another uninitialized value warning in BaseFont.pm.

2.035     2019-08-09

    - The bounding box methods (mediabox, cropbox, bleedbox, trimbox, and
      artbox) now return their values when called without arguments.

    - The get_[media|crop|bleed|trim|art]box page methods have been deprecated
      since they're now redundant, but they continue to work.

    - [RT #130074] Remove unneeded (and newly-broken) calls to is_utf8 in
      Annotation.pm and NamedDestination.pm (reported by Mathieu Arnold).

    - Eliminate some uninitialized value warnings in BaseFont.pm.

2.034    2019-06-29

    - SUPPORTED PERL VERSIONS: Starting with this release, PDF::API2 will
      support major Perl versions released in the past six years, plus the major
      release before that one.  This should provide backward compatibility for
      the life of most LTS server distributions, while eliminating the need to
      troubleshoot warnings and bugs that only show up in increasingly-ancient
      versions of Perl.

      For this release, it means that the minimum supported Perl is 5.18, which
      was first released on 2013-05-18.

    - Add support for cross-reference streams using 64-bit field widths.

    - When the utf8 flag is set for a PDF string, automatically encode it as
      UCS-16BE instead of requiring a separate flag to be set in the PDF object.
      This resolves [RT #33497] and [RT #117031] in addition to making the code
      easier to maintain.

    - [RT #126274] Fix alignment when using UniFont with text_center or
      text_right when all characters are in the same block.

    - [RT #121911] Fix adding pages to a document structure with nested Pages
      elements.  This included a fairly substantial rewrite of the relevant
      code, so please report any new bugs related to adding pages (report and
      troubleshooting by Vadim Repin).

    - Renamed pdfile() to pdf_file() in PDF::API2::Annotation and
      PDF::API2::Outline.  The old name continues to work, but is deprecated.

Log message:
Update packages using a search.cpan.org HOMEPAGE to metacpan.org.

The former now redirects to the latter.

This covers the most simple cases where http://search.cpan.org/dist/name
can be changed to https://metacpan.org/release/name.

Reviewed by hand to hopefully make sure no unwanted changes sneak in.

Log message:
Update to 2.033

Upstream changes:
2.033     2017-07-06

    - [RT #122371] Remove a couple of improperly-placed weaken statements
      (reported by Phil Perry).

    - [RT #122372] Fix weakening when a page is added to the end of a multiple
      page document (reported by Phil Perry).

    - Fix Bank Gothic core font (reported by Phil Perry).

2.032     2017-07-02

    - PDF::API2 has many circular references, and the end() method doesn't clear
      them all, so memory is leaked.  This release uses Scalar::Util's weaken()
      function to improve garbage collection.  A significant number of circular
      references have been weakened, though many likely still remain.

    - [RT #120756] Eliminate a warning for an ambiguous call to CORE::open
      (first reported by Abdelbaki Brahmia).

    - $text->text_justified() and $text->text_fill_justified() now adjust the
      space between words rather than stretching individual characters in order
      to get the text to fit.

    - [RT #120397] Indirect references and indirect objects can have comments
      embedded in their whitespace, and their object number and generation may
      be split across multiple lines, which may not all be buffered (reported by
      SPROUT).

    - [RT #120450] Fix PDF::API2->open($filename)->stringify() (reported by
      SPROUT).

    - Fix an off-by-one error when calculating text width while charspace is
      non-zero.

    - [RT #120048] Fix PDF::API2->synfont() (broken in 2.029, fixed by Vadim
      Repin) and add basic testing.

Log message:
Update to 2.031

Upstream changes:
2.031     2017-01-26

    - Fix use of cache files when reading streams: temp files will now
      be used any time a stream is larger than 16MB (by default).
      Formerly, due to a bug, they would only be created when a 4kB
      chunk of a stream increased to 16kB or more after being
      decompressed.

    - Numbers, booleans, and null values can now be read from object
      streams.

    - Update to [RT #113290]: Objects inside a large object stream are
      now read without loading the entire object stream into memory.

    - DEPRECATION: The low-level new_api methods have been deprecated
      in favor of calling new directly.  If your code uses
      new_api($api2, ...), replace it with new($api2->{'pdf'}, ...).

    - [RT #118352] Don't crash when adding an annotation to a page
      that has an existing annotations array stored as an indirect
      object (reported by Johan Vromans).

    - [RT #118717] Die with an informative error if a file can't be
      opened during open() or saveas() (reported by Johan Vromans).
