v0.91

This is the last release to support Emacs 24.x. Release 1.0.0 will update the minimum supported Emacs version.

NEWS:

  • Make changes required by newer versions of Emacs: A number of changes are made to support new elisp / package changes. There is no impact of this on existing users.
    • Emacs 27, Emacs 28 and Emacs 29 are supported now.
    • Synctex 1.21 is supported now.
  • Improve overall install experience
    • Running M-x pdf-tools-install should just work now.
  • Add support for high-resolution displays (Retina display on Mac)
    • Setting pdf-view-use-scaling to a non-nil value now renders crisp images on high-resolution displays.
  • Change the keybindings for traversing history
    • This is a minor but breaking change. l (backward) and r (forward) are the conventional bindings for history navigation in Emacs, but pdf-tools uses B and N. The previous keybindings are kept as-is for people who were used to it, while introducing l and r keybindings as well.
    • This is a breaking change because r was previously bound to revert-buffer. However, g is also bound to revert-buffer and is the conventional binding for revert so this should be okay.
