==================================================================
This is a minor release
New Features/Enhancements
* Obtain the cursor position in the text field: Added a new API 'GetEditingTextCaretPosition' to retrieve the cursor position within a text field during form filling or editing.
* Flexible font embeding control: To enhance font embedding efficiency, the Embed()function now includes the 'is_add_all_unicodes' parameter for controlling the embedding of either all possible unicodes or a specific unicode, and it also introduces the 'AddUnicodes()' method to allow users to add unicodes for the embedded font as needed.
* XFAForm widget select status control: Added a new API 'XFAWidget::SetCheckState()' to control the select status for the CheckBox and Radio XFA widget.
* Signing conforms to the PDF/A standard: In order to ensure that the signed documents comply with the PDF/A standard, the SDK has adjusted its underlying code to support image-based signatures and introduced a new API called 'EnableEmbedFont()' to support text-based signatures.
* Enhanced PDF JavaScript support: This version introduces support for cursor, printparams, icon, hostcontainer, and fullscreen objects, allowing our SDK to interact with PDF documents that contain embedded JavaScript code using these specific objects.
* Detection of multi-lines and multiple selection properties for XFA form fields: This version added new APIs 'IsSupportMultiline()' to check multi-line support for text field widget and 'IsListBox()' and 'IsSupportMultiSelect' to check multiple selection support for list widget.
* Search results with adjustable context length for keywords: Added new parameters 'sentence', 'match_sentence_start_text_index' and 'match_sentence_end_text_index' to 'RetrieveSearchResult()' to allow adjustment of the context length of the search results
* Enhanced full text searching capabilites: In this version, the full-text search engine has been upgraded, resulting in significantly improved search accuracy.
