Deprecated Features
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Deprecated `ImageObject::CloneBitmap (Graphics_Objects)` API.		

BugFixes
---------------------------------------------------------------
**Table-related**
- Fixed an issue where merging cells with `AddTableToPage()` caused errors.
- Resolved a problem where the fill color did not cover the entire cell when inserting tables using `insertTablePagesToDocument`.

**Page Operations and Importing**
- Fixed an issue where splitting pages with `StartImportPages()` resulted in scrambled content.
- Resolved a data import failure caused by incorrect XML file format detection when using `ImportFromXML()`.
- Fixed a bug where form data remained after removing AcroForm pages with `RemovePage()`.
- Addressed an issue where inserting new PDF pages failed due to inconsistent handling of `CropBox`.

**Text Processing**
- Fixed an issue where extracting text with Chinese characters using `GetPageText()` resulted in errors.
- Resolved text extraction order issues with `GetPageText()` by optimizing the text extraction algorithm.
- Fixed display errors when adding Arabic text using `AddText()`.
- Corrected the RTL display order issue when setting Arabic text with `SetText()`.

**Form Handling**
- Fixed an issue where `PDFPage::Flatten()` failed to flatten static XFA form field data.
- Resolved an issue where dynamic XFA form fields did not retain their state correctly when flattened to PDF.
- Fixed a problem where dynamic XFA documents could not be loaded after triggering certain callback events.
- Addressed an issue where insufficient integer precision led to incorrect form field calculations.

**Search Functionality**
- Fixed an issue where incorrect search results were returned due to the wrong calculation of search keyword order.
- Resolved an exception issue when calling `ReplaceNext()`.

**Rendering and Display**
- Fixed an issue where dashed lines were displayed incorrectly in prepress previews by properly handling fill and stroke colors.
- Resolved prepress preview anomalies caused by separating annotation and page rendering.
- Optimized rendering to fix display issues with background images in paths with soft mask pattern fills.
- Fixed an issue where images inserted via `AddImage()` were mirrored due to missing rotation handling.
- Corrected the problem where graphics object became invisible after calling `SetMatrix()` due to ignored clipping paths.

**Crash Fixes**
- Fixed a crash when opening PDF files containing 3D elements.
- Resolved a crash caused by batch conversion of PDF to PostScript using the `Renderer` class.
- Fixed a crash on Linux when creating new `PDFDoc` objects due to concurrent access.

**Annotations and Watermarks**
- Fixed an issue where annotations in PDF files with missing destination (Dest) information could not retrieve annotation actions correctly.
- Fixed a problem where watermarks were not written to extracted pages after calling `StartExtractPages()`.

**Printing-related**
- [Demo] Fixed an issue in the `pdfprint` demo where printing PDFs with soft masks in the background caused memory issues.
- [PrintManager] Corrected the "Unknown" status display when using the demo print function by adjusting `GetJobStatus()`.
- [PrintManager] Fixed an issue where print tasks were waiting or unable to complete due to the printer failing to call the `GetJob()` function.

**Optimizer and Performance**
- Fixed data loss during optimization due to incorrect font stream handling.
- Resolved garbled text issues during DWG to PDF conversion by supplementing missing font resources, to esnure font integrity.
- Adjusted CMYK image handling to fix color inconsistencies caused by forced conversion to RGB in TIFF images.
- Resolved content loss during TIFF to PDF conversion by improving TIFF data writing.
- Fixed data loss and exceptions in the verification results by improving the `LTVVerifier::Verify()` logic.
- Fixed table recognition error by enhancing the layout recognition engine.
