1) FILES: mpdf.php

Bug fix; Dollar sign enclosed by <pre> tag causing error. Test e.g.: <pre>Test $1.00 Test</pre> <pre>Test $2.00 Test</pre> <pre>Test $3.00 Test</pre> <pre>Test $4.00 Test</pre>

2) FILES: includes/functions.php AND mpdf.php

Changes to preg_replace with /e modifier to use preg_replace_callback (/e depracated from PHP 5.5)

3) FILES: classes/barcode.php

Small change to function barcode_c128() which allows ASCII 0 - 31 to be used in C128A e.g. chr(13) in: <barcode code="54321068" type="C128A" />

4) FILES: mpdf.php

Using $use_kwt ("keep-[heading]-with-table") if <h4></h4> before table is on 2 lines and pagebreak occurs after first line the first line is displayed at the bottom of the 2nd page. Edited so that $use_kwt only works if the HEADING is only one line. Else ignores (but prints correctly)

5) FILES: mpdf.php

Clearing old temporary files from _MPDF_TEMP_PATH will now ignore "hidden" files e.g. starting with a "." .htaccess, .gitignore etc. and also leave dummy.txt alone

Backwards compatability

Changes in mPDF 5.7 may cause some changes to the way your documents appear. There are two main differences: 1) Hyphenation. To retain appearance compatible with earlier versions, set the CSS property "hyphens: auto" whenever

you previously used $mpdf->hyphenate=true;

2) Table of Contents - appearance can now be controlled with CSS styles. By default, in mPDF 5.7, no styling is applied so you will get:

- No indent (previous default of 5mm) - ($tocindent is ignored)
- Any font, font-size set ($tocfont or $tocfontsize) will not work
- HyperLinks will appear with your default appearance - usually blue and underlined
- line spacing will be narrower (can use line-height or margin-top in CSS)

New features / Improvements

Text alignment on decimal mark inside tables
Automatically generated bookmarks and/or ToC entries from H1 - H6 tags

Lists - added support for "start" attribute in <ol> e.g. <ol start="5">
Hyphenation controlled using CSS, consistent with CSS3 spec.

Line breaking in CJK scripts improved (and ability to force hanging punctuation)
Numerals in a CJK script are kept together

Colors: device-cmyk(c,m,y,k) as per CSS3 spec. For consistency, device-cmyka also supported (not CSS3 spec)
"z-index" can be used to utilise layers in the PDF document
Custom CSS property added: "outdent" - opposite of indent

The HTML elements <dottab> and <textcircle> can now have CSS properties applied to them.

Bug fixes

SVG images - path including e.g. 1.234E-15 incorrectly parsed (not recognising capital E)
Tables - if a table starts when the Y position on page is below bottom margin caused endless loop
Float-ing DIVs - starting a float at bottom of page and it causes page break before anything output, second new page is forced
Tables - Warning notice now given in Table footer or header if <tfoot> placed after <tbody> and table spans page
Columns - block with border-width wider than the length of the border line, line overflows
Columns - block with no padding containing a block with borders but no backgound colour, borders not printed
Table in Columns - when background color set by surrounding block element - colour missing for height of half bottom border.
TOCpagebreakByArray() when called by function was not adding the pagebreak
Border around block element - dashed not showing correctly (not resetting linewidth between different edges)
Double border in table - when background colour set in surrounding block element - shows as black line between the 2 bits of double

<dottab> fixed to allow color, font-size and font-family to be correctly used, avoid dots being moved to new page, and to work in RTL
Table {colsum} summed figures in table header
list-style-type (custom) colour not working
<tocpagebreak> toc-preHTML and toc-postHTML can now contain quotes

NB mPDF 5.5 added support for <fieldset> and <legend> (omitted from ChangeLog)

To avoid just the border/background-color of the (empty) end of a block being moved on to next page (</div></div>)

$this->margBuffer = 0; // Allow an (empty) end of block to extend beyond the bottom margin by this amount (mm)

config_fonts.php changes

Added to (arabic) fonts to allow "use non-mapped Arabic Glyphs" e.g. for Pashto

'unAGlyphs' => true,

Arabic text

Arabic text (RTL) rewritten with improved support for Pashto/Sindhi/Urdu/Kurdish

Presentation forms added:
U+0649, U+0681, U+0682, U+0685, U+069A-U+069E, U+06A0, U+06A2, U+06A3, U+06A5, U+06AB-U+06AE,

Joining improved:
U+0672, U+0675, U+0676, U+0677, U+0679-U+067D, U+067F, U+0680, U+0683, U+0684, U+0687, U+0687, U+0688-U+0692,

Note - Some characters in Pashto/Sindhi/Urdu/Kurdish do not have Unicode values for the final/initial/medial forms of the characters. However, some fonts include these characters "un-mapped" to Unicode (including XB Zar and XB Riyaz, which are bundled with mPDF).

`'unAGlyphs' => true`, added to the config_fonts.php file for appropriate fonts will

This requires the font file to include a Format 2.0 POST table which references the glyphs as e.g. uni067C.med or uni067C.medi:

e.g. XB Riyaz, XB Zar, Arabic Typesetting (MS), Arial (MS)

NB If you want to know if a font file is suitable, you can open a .ttf file in a text editor and search for "uni067C.med" - if it exists, it may work! Using "unAGlyphs" forces subsetting of fonts, and will not work with SIP/SMP fonts (using characters beyond the Unicode BMP Plane).

mPDF maps these characters to part of the Private Use Area allocated by Unicode U+F500-F7FF. This could interfere with correct use if the font already utilises these codes (unlikely).

mPDF now deletes U+200C,U+200D,U+200E,U+200F zero-widthjoiner/non-joiner, LTR and RTL marks so they will not appear even though some fonts contain glyphs for these characters.

Other New features / Improvements

Avoid just the border/background-color of the (empty) end of a block being moved on to next page (</div></div>) using configurable variable: $this->margBuffer;

The TTFontsUni class contained a long function (extractcoreinfo) which is not used routinely in mPDF

This has been moved to a new file: classes/ttfontsuni_analysis.php.

The 3 utility scripts have been updated to use the new extended class:

utils/font_collections.php
utils/font_coverage.php
utils/font_dump.php

Bug fixes

Border & background when closing 2 blocks (e.g. </div></div>) incorrectly being moved to next page because incorrectly calculating how much space required
Fixed/Absolute-positioned elements not inheriting letter-spacing style
Rotated cell - error if text-rotate set on a table cell, but no text content in cell
SVG images, text-anchor not working
Nested table - not resetting cell style (font, color etc) after nested table, if text follows immediately
Nested table - font-size 70% set in extenal style sheet; if repeated nested tables, sets 70% of 70% etc etc
SVG setting font-size as percent on successive <text> elements gives progressively smaller text
mPDF will check if magic_quotes_runtime set ON even >= PHP 5.3 (will now cause an error message)
