NEXT RELEASE

Features

  • --page-number can now take an optional argument label that shows the PDF's page label instead of the page index.

Changes

  • Change default value of --include to *.[Pp][Dd][Ff] to allow for different case variations of *.pdf.
  • Build system: Switch to C++14
  • Build system: Require poppler-cpp >= 0.36.0, to avoid a nasty bug in earlier versions that makes pdfgrep produce wrong results. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91644
