v17.3.0 Latest

Latest

Fixed Python API ignoring the language parameter, always defaulting to
eng. The API now correctly maps language to OcrOptions languages
and splits +-separated codes (e.g. eng+deu) to match CLI behavior.
{issue}1640
Fixed Python API producing empty OCR output because tesseract_timeout
defaulted to 0, causing Tesseract to time out immediately. The default is
now None, falling back to the plugin's 180-second timeout. {issue}1636
Fixed OCR text layer displacement on PDFs with non-zero MediaBox origins
(e.g. JSTOR or cropped PDFs). The coordinate transformation matrix is now
always computed, not skipped when rotation is zero. {issue}1630
Restored image overlay support (--image) for the hocrtransform tool,
enabling sandwich PDF output with the fpdf2 renderer. {issue}1634
Docker: updated Alpine base image to 3.23.
Documentation restructured into per-major-version release notes files.
Release process improvements.
