[2.0.0] - 2020-02-22

Breaking changes

• Remove support for older Ruby and Rails versions - This project no longer supports Ruby < 2.2 and Rails < 4. It may work for you, but we are no longer worrying about breaking backwards compatibility for versions older than these. If you are on an affected version, you can continue to use the 1.x releases. Patches to fix broken behavior on old versions may not be accepted unless they are highly decoupled from the rest of the code base.

• Add ability to use the assigns option to render to assign instance variables to a PDF template
• Add ability to track console progress with progress: -> (output) { puts output }. This is useful to add reporting hooks to show your frontend what page number is being generated.

• Fix issue using the shell to locate wkhtmltopdf in a Bundler environment
• Fix wkhtmltopdf path detection when HOME environment variable is unset

[1.1.0] - 2016-08-30

New Features

• Support Rails 5.x and Sprockets 3.x
• Support window_status: 'somestring' option, to instruct wkhtmltopdf to wait until the browser window.status is equal to the supplied string. This can be useful to force rendering to wait as explained quite well here
• Support no_stop_slow_scripts: true to let slow running scripts delay rendering
• Changes to asset finding to support Rails 5

Fixes

• Improved error handling
• Namespace helper classes under WickedPdf namespace

[1.0.6] - 2016-04-04

Fixes

• Revert shell escaping of options. The fix was causing more issues than it solved (like "[page] of [topage]" being escaped, and thus not parsed by wkhtmltopdf). See #514 for details.

[1.0.5] - 2016-03-28

Fixes

• Numerous RuboCop style violation fixes, spelling errors, and test-setup issues from indyrb.org hack night. Thank you all for your contributions!
• Shellescape options. A stray quote in header or footer would cause PDF to fail to generate, and this should close down many potential attack vectors if you allow user-supplied values to be passed into wicked_pdf render options.

[1.0.4] - 2016-01-26

Fixes

• Check that logger responds to info before calling it. It was possible to have a logger method defined as a controller helper that would override Rails.logger.
• Issue with Sprockets 3.0 where an asset referenced in a stylesheet not existing would raise an exception read_asset on nil.

[1.0.3] - 2015-12-02

Fixes

• Revert default DPI. Some installs of wkhtmltopdf would experience major slowdowns or crashes with it set to 72. It is suggested that a DPI of 75 may be better, but I'm holding off on making it a default without more information.

[1.0.2] - 2015-11-30

Fixes

• The default dpi is now 72. Previously the default would be whatever your wkhtmltopdf version specified as the default. This change speeds up generation of documents that contain border-radius dramatically

[1.0.1] - 2015-11-19

Fixes

• Made minor RuboCop style tweaks.
• Added default RuboCop config and run after test suite.
• Issue with nil.basename from asset helpers.

[1.0.0] - 2015-11-03

Breaking Changes

• Accepted that WickedPDF cannot guarantee backwards compatibility with older versions of wkthmltopdf, and decided to publish a new version with the MAJOR number incremented, signaling that this may have breaking changes for some people, but providing a path forward for progress. This release number also signals that this is a mature (and relatively stable) project, and should be deemed ready for production (since it has been used in production since ~2009, and downloaded over a million times on RubyGems.org).
• Stopped attempting to track with version number of wkhtmltopdf binary releases (wkhtmltopdf v9.x == WickedPDF v9.x)
• Adopted Semantic Versioning for release numbering
• Added a CHANGELOG (based on keepachangelog.com)
• Misc code tweaks as suggested by RuboCop

New Features

• Check version of wkhtmltopdf before deciding to pass arguments with or without dashes
• New arguments and options for the table of contents supported in newer versions of wkhtmltopdf: text_size_shrink, level_indentation, disable_dotted_lines, disable_toc_links, xsl_style_sheet
• Merge in global options to pdf_from_html_file and pdf_from_string
• Add ability to generate pdf from a web resource: pdf_from_url(url)
• Removed explicit dependency on Rails, since parts of this library may be used without it.

Fixes

• Comment out the :exe_path option in the generated initializer by default (since many systems won't have wkthmltopdf installed in that specific location)
• Issues with file:// paths on Windows-based systems
• Issues with parsed options/argument ordering on versions of wkthmltopdf > 0.9
• Issues with middleware headers when running Rails app mounted in a subdirectory
• Issues with options that have a key: 'value' syntax when passed to wkthmltopdf
• Issue with :temp_path option being deleted from original options hash
• Issue with header/footer :content being deleted after the first page
• Issues with options being modified during processing (including global config options)
• Issues with asset helpers recognizing assets specified without a protocol
• Issues with url() references and embedded data:base64 assets in stylesheets rendered with wicked_pdf_stylesheet_link_tag
• Asset helpers no longer add a file extension if it already is specified with one
