• v1.2.0 Changes

  April 03, 2019

  🆕 New Features

  • Add raise_on_all_errors: true option to raise on any error that prints to STDOUT during PDF generation
  • Add ability to use the assigns option to render to assign instance variables to a PDF template

• v1.1.0 Changes

  February 02, 2017

  🆕 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

• v1.0.6 Changes

  April 05, 2016

  🛠 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.

• v1.0.5 Changes

  April 05, 2016

  🛠 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.

• v1.0.4 Changes

  March 28, 2016

  🛠 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.

• v1.0.3 Changes

  March 28, 2016

  🛠 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.

• v1.0.2 Changes

  November 30, 2015

  🛠 Fixes

  • 0️⃣ 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

• v1.0.1 Changes

  November 19, 2015

  🛠 Fixes

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

• v1.0.0 Changes

  November 03, 2015

  💥 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

  • 0️⃣ 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
