Release pdfHTML 4.0.0
Release date: October 25, 2021
The pdfHTML 4.0.0 release doesn't bring as many visible changes compared to the previous major release, since we mainly focused on the integration of the new license mechanism, removing deprecated API, and bumping support of the .NET Framework from 4.5 to 4.6.1 to allow the use of the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging framework.
As usual though, some effort has been put into further extending the SVG support. From now, pdfHTML can handle SVG tags in a case-insensitive manner, thanks to the newer version of the jsoup HTML parser.
As for the rest of the changes, expect a few bug fixes and the typical assortment of performance improvements and convenience additions.
