    - [GH-74] Fixed documentation error saying that stroke_color and fill_color
      can be chained.

    - Crash instead of freezing if a PDF trailer's Prev keys result in a loop or
      if multiple trailers use the same object ID and generation number.

Update to 2.045

Upstream changes:
2.045     2023-09-25

    - Fixed documentation error in synopsis for QR codes.

    - Fixed date validation when timezone offset minute contains a trailing
      apostrophe, which is required by the Adobe PDF specifications and
      prohibited by the ISO PDF specifications.  PDF::API2 now accepts either
      version as valid (report by Johan Vromans).

    - Fixed passing a GD object to $pdf->image() (reported by Hakon Hagland).

    - Fixed a crash when object numbers contain leading zeroes.

Log message:
Update to 2.042

Upstream changes:
2.042     2021-09-16

    - This release includes many changes to method names, options, and
      documentation aimed at improving approachability, but existing code should
      continue to work.  See the new Backward Compatibility section in the main
      PDF::API2 documentation for details about deprecation timelines and a
      suggested workflow for handling upgrades.  See the new Migration section
      for a consolidated list of deprecated methods/options and their
      replacements.

    - Renamed several methods in the PDF::API2 base class:

      - end -> close
      - open_scalar -> from_string
      - stringify -> to_string
      - pages -> page_count
      - importPageIntoForm -> embed_page
      - isEncrypted -> is_encrypted
      - xmpMetadata -> xml_metadata
      - outlines -> outline

    - Merged saveas into save.

    - Added individual accessors for PDF metadata (title, author, producer,
      etc.).  Replaced info and infoMetaAttributes with info_metadata for custom
      metadata.

    - Renamed the following methods in the PDF::API2::Page class:

      - gfx -> graphics
      - rotate -> rotation

    - Added $page->boundaries() and $pdf->default_page_boundaries() to replace
      the separate methods for the various page boundaries.  The supported
      arguments are slightly different; some edge cases have been removed and
      new options have been added.  See below and the PDF::API2::Page
      documentation for details.

    - Added $page->size() and $pdf->default_page_size() as a shortcut for
      setting the media box.

    - Both $page->size() and $page->boundaries() (and their $pdf default
      equivalents) now accept "WxH" page sizes in inches (e.g. 11x17 \ 
or 8.5x11).
      This does not apply to the deprecated versions of these methods.

    - Both $page->size() and $page->boundaries() (and their $pdf default
      equivalents) now accept a single number for page boundaries other than the
      media box, representing an amount in points to shrink the next larger box.
      This does not apply to the deprecated versions of these methods.

    - Replaced pageLabel with page_labels.  The option syntax is slightly
      different (pass options as a hash instead of a hashref; remove hyphens
      from option names).

    - Replaced image_jpeg, image_tiff, image_pnm, image_png, image_gif, and
      image_gd with $pdf->image.

    - Replaced the individual barcode methods with $pdf->barcode, which is
      fully documented and includes reasonable defaults based on the chosen
      barcode format.

    - Improved spacing between barcodes and labels when both bar_extend
      (formerly -lmzn) and font_size (formerly -fnsz) are set and the font size
      is larger than the bar extension.

    - Replaced corefont, ttfont, psfont, and bdfont with $pdf->font.  Unlike
      corefont, font requires the exact name of one of the standard fonts.
      Kerning is on by default (vs. off by default in the type-specific
      methods).

    - Renamed synfont to synthetic_font.  Renamed and documented the options.
      The new hscale option (formerly -slant) now takes a percentage (100 = no
      change, vs. 1 = no change for -slant) to match the hscale method in
      Content.  The new "bold" option is in thousandths of a text unit,
      vs. hundredths for "-bold", so multiply the old value by 10 when
      migrating.

    - Replaced the individual colorspace methods with $pdf->colorspace.  Added
      documentation and examples for the various colorspace types except for the
      former colorspace_hue, because I couldn't find the standard that it
      implements (if one exists).

    - Renamed several methods in PDF::API2::Content:

      - linewidth -> line_width
      - linecap -> line_cap
      - linejoin -> line_join
      - miterlimit -> miter_limit
      - flatness -> flatness_tolerance
      - endpath -> end
      - rectxy -> rectangle
      - fillstroke -> paint
      - charspace -> character_spacing
      - wordspace -> word_spacing
      - nl -> crlf
      - advancewidth -> text_width

    - In PDF::API2::Content, replaced image and formimage with object.  Added a
      $page->object() convenience method that is equivalent to
      $page->graphics->object().

    - In PDF::API2::Content, merged text_center and text_right into text.  Use
      the "align" option to set alignment to "center" or \ 
"right".

    - In PDF::API2::Content, merged paragraphs into paragraph.

    - In PDF::API2::Content, deprecated poly and added polyline.  poly was the
      only path-drawing method that took a starting position as its first two
      arguments.  These should be passed to a move call instead, with the
      remaining arguments passed to the new polyline method.

    - In PDF::API2::Content, added position, which combines the functionality of
      distance and textpos2 (which was undocumented).  Deprecated textpos, which
      attempted to return the position of the "cursor" after taking \ 
into account
      coordinate transformations.  textpos2 and the new position method return
      the text position before any coordinate transformations are applied, which
      is consistent with how the other methods in this class behave.

    - In PDF::API2::Content, deprecated bogen.  Recreate using arc, if feasible.
      If not, I'm likely to leave the code in place indefinitely as an
      undocumented method.

    - In PDF::API2::Content, deprecated cr.  Replace with either position (if
      called with arguments) or crlf (if called without arguments).

    - Tentatively deprecated $pdf->cjkfont.  If you're successfully using this
      method for CJK font support, read PDF::API2::Resource::CIDFont::CJKFont
      and contact me to discuss your use case.

    - Tentatively deprecated $pdf->unifont.  If you're successfully using this
      method for Unicode support, please contact me to discuss your use case.

    - Replaced $pdf->preferences() with separate page_mode, page_layout,
      viewer_preferences, and open_action methods, all of which are now fully
      documented.

    - Added font_path and set_font_path accessors for the font search path (the
      list of directories searched when a font name is included without its full
      path).  Renamed addFontDirs to add_to_font_path.

    - Removed C:/WinNT/Fonts from the default font search path.

    - Named Destinations are now fully documented, with updated method names and
      arguments.

    - Outlines are now fully documented, with additional methods for examining
      and modifying the outline tree.  Existing method names and arguments have
      been updated to match those used in Named Destinations.  Various bugs have
      been fixed when reading or modifying outlines in existing PDFs.

    - Updated annotation documentation.  Revised methods and arguments to match
      those used in Named Destinations and Outlines.

    - A PDF version number specified in the document catalog is now respected by
      $pdf->version().

    - Fixed space calculation between words in justified text (report and fix by
      Vladislav Glinsky).
