Version 59.0b1

Released on 2023-04-14.

This version is experimental, don’t use it in production. If you find bugs, please report them!

Command-line API:

  • The --optimize-size option and its short equivalent -O have been deprecated. To activate or deactivate different size optimizations, you can now use:

    • --uncompressed-pdf,

    • --optimize-images,

    • --full-fonts,

    • --hinting,

    • --dpi <resolution>, and

    • --jpeg-quality <quality>.

  • A new --cache-folder <folder> option has been added to store temporary data in the given folder on the disk instead of keeping them in memory.

Python API:

  • Global rendering options are now given in **options instead of dedicated parameters, with slightly different names. It means that the signature of the HTML.render(), HTML.write_pdf() and Document.write_pdf() has changed. Here are the steps to port your Python code to v59.0:

    1. Use named parameters for these functions, not positioned parameters.

    2. Rename some the parameters:

      • image_cache becomes cache (see below),

      • identifier becomes pdf_identifier,

      • variant becomes pdf_variant,

      • version becomes pdf_version,

      • forms becomes pdf_forms.

  • The optimize_size parameter of HTML.render(), HTML.write_pdf() and Document() has been removed and will be ignored. You can now use the uncompressed_pdf, full_fonts, hinting, dpi and jpeg_quality parameters that are included in **options.

  • The cache parameter can be included in **options to replace image_cache. If it is a dictionary, this dictionary will be used to store temporary data in memory, and can be even shared between multiple documents. If it’s a folder Path or string, WeasyPrint stores temporary data in the given temporary folder on disk instead of keeping them in memory.

New features:

  • #1853, #1854: Reduce PDF size, with financial support from Code & Co.

  • #1824, #1829: Reduce memory use for images

  • #1858: Add an option to keep hinting information in embedded fonts

Bug fixes:

  • #1855: Fix position of emojis in justified text

  • #1852: Don’t crash when line can be split before trailing spaces

Version 0.19.1

Released on 2013-04-30.

Bug fix release:

  • Fix incorrect intrinsic width calculation leading to unnecessary line breaks in floats, tables, etc.

  • Tweak border painting to look better

Version 0.19

Released on 2013-04-18.

  • Add support for linear-gradient() and radial-gradient in background images.

  • Add support for the ex and ch length units. (1ex is based on the font instead of being always 0.5em as before.)

  • Add experimental support for Level 4 hyphenation properties.

  • Many bug fixes, including:

  • Fix #54: min/max-width/height on block-level images.

  • Fix #71: Crash when parsing nested functional notation.

Version 0.18

Released on 2013-03-30.

  • Add support for Level 3 backgrounds, including multiple background layers per element/box.

  • Forward-compatibility with (future releases of) cairocffi 0.4+ and CFFI 0.6+.

  • Bug fixes:

    • Avoid some unnecessary line breaks for elements sized based on their content (aka. “shrink-to-fit”) such as floats and page headers.

    • Allow page breaks between empty blocks.

    • Fix #66: Resolve images’ auto width from non-auto height and intrinsic ratio.

    • Fix #21: The data: URL scheme is case-insensitive.

Version 0.17

Released on 2013-02-27.

  • Added text hyphenation with the -weasy-hyphens property.

  • When a document includes JPEG images, embed them as JPEG in the PDF output. This often results in smaller PDF file size compared to the default deflate compression.

  • Switched to using CFFI instead of PyGTK or PyGObject-introspection.

  • Layout bug fixes:

    • Correctly trim whitespace at the end of lines.

    • Fix some cases with floats within inline content.

Version 0.16

Released on 2012-12-13.

  • Add the zoom parameter to HTML.write_pdf and Document.write_pdf() <weasyprint.document.Document.write_pdf>

  • Fix compatibility with old (and buggy) pycairo versions. WeasyPrint is now tested on 1.8.8 in addition to the latest.

  • Fix layout bugs related to line trailing spaces.

Version 0.15

Released on 2012-10-09.

  • Add a low-level API that enables painting pages individually on any cairo surface.

  • Backward-incompatible change: remove the HTML.get_png_pages method. The new low-level API covers this functionality and more.

  • Add support for the font-stretch property.

  • Add support for @page:blank to select blank pages.

  • New Sphinx-based and improved docs

  • Bug fixes:

    • Importing Pango in some PyGTK installations.

    • Layout of inline-blocks with vertical-align: top or bottom.

    • Do not repeat a block’s margin-top or padding-top after a page break.

    • Performance problem with large tables split across many pages.

    • Anchors and hyperlinks areas now follow CSS transforms. Since PDF links have to be axis-aligned rectangles, the bounding box is used. This may be larger than expected with rotations that are not a multiple of 90 degrees.

Version 0.14

Released on 2012-08-03.

  • Add a public API to choose media type used for @media. (It still defaults to print). Thanks Chung Lu!

  • Add --base-url and --resolution to the command-line API, making it as complete as the Python one.

  • Add support for the <base href="..."> element in HTML.

  • Add support for CSS outlines

  • Switch to gdk-pixbuf instead of Pystacia for loading raster images.

  • Bug fixes:

    • Handling of filenames and URLs on Windows

    • Unicode filenames with older version of py2cairo

    • base_url now behaves as expected when set to a directory name.

    • Make some tests more robust

Version 0.13

Released on 2012-07-23.

  • Add support for PyGTK, as an alternative to PyGObject + introspection. This should make WeasyPrint easier to run on platforms that not not have packages for PyGObject 3.x yet.

  • Bug fix: crash in PDF outlines for some malformed HTML documents

Version 0.12

Released on 2012-07-19.

  • Add support for collapsed borders on tables. This is currently incompatible with repeating header and footer row groups on each page: headers and footers are treated as normal row groups on table with border-collapse: collapse.

  • Add url_fetcher to the public API. This enables users to hook into WeasyPrint for fetching linked stylesheets or images, eg. to generate them on the fly without going through the network. This enables the creation of Flask-WeasyPrint.

Version 0.11

Released on 2012-07-04.

  • Add support for floats and clear. Together with various bug fixes, this enables WeasyPrint to pass the Acid2 test! Acid2 is now part of our automated test suite.

  • Add support for the width, min-width, max-width, height, min-height and max-height properties in @page. The size property is now the size of the page’s containing block.

  • Switch the Variable Dimension rules to the new proposal. The previous implementation was broken in many cases.

  • The image-rendering, transform, transform-origin and size properties are now unprefixed. The prefixed form (eg. -weasy-size) is ignored but gives a specific warning.

Version 0.10

Released on 2012-06-25.

  • Add get_png_pages() to the public API. It returns each page as a separate PNG image.

  • Add a resolution parameter for PNG.

  • Add WeasyPrint Navigator, a web application that shows WeasyPrint’s output with clickable links. Yes, that’s a browser in your browser. Start it with python -m weasyprint.navigator

  • Add support for vertical-align: top and vertical-align: bottom

  • Add support for page-break-before: avoid and page-break-after: avoid

  • Bug fixes

Version 0.9

Released on 2012-06-04.

  • Relative, absolute and fixed positioning

  • Proper painting order (z-index)

  • In PDF: support for internal and external hyperlinks as well as bookmarks.

  • Added the tree parameter to the HTML class: accepts a parsed lxml object.

  • Bug fixes, including many crashes.

Bookmarks can be controlled by the -weasy-bookmark-level and -weasy-bookmark-label properties, as described in CSS Generated Content for Paged Media Module.

The default UA stylesheet sets a matching bookmark level on all <h1> to <h6> elements.

Version 0.8

Released on 2012-05-07.

  • Switch from cssutils to tinycss as the CSS parser.

  • Switch to the new cssselect, almost all level 3 selectors are supported now.

  • Support for inline blocks and inline tables

  • Automatic table layout (column widths)

  • Support for the min-width, max-width, min-height and max-height properties, except on table-related and page-related boxes.

  • Speed improvements on big stylesheets / small documents thanks to tinycss.

  • Many bug fixes

Version 0.7.1

Released on 2012-03-21.

Change the license from AGPL to BSD.

Version 0.7

Released on 2012-03-21.

  • Support page breaks between table rows

  • Support for the orphans and widows properties.

  • Support for page-break-inside: avoid

  • Bug fixes

Only avoiding page breaks before/after an element is still missing.

Version 0.6.1

Released on 2012-03-01.

Fix a packaging bug. (Remove use_2to3 in setup.py. We use the same codebase for Python 2 and 3.)

Version 0.6

Released on 2012-02-29.

  • Backward incompatible: completely change the Python API. See the documentation: https://weasyprint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html#as-a-python-library

  • Backward incompatible: Proper margin collapsing. This changes how blocks are rendered: adjoining margins “collapse” (their maximum is used) instead of accumulating.

  • Support images in embed or object elements.

  • Switch to pystacia instead of PIL for raster images

  • Add compatibility with CPython 2.6 and 3.2. (Previously only 2.7 was supported)

  • Many bug fixes

Version 0.5

Released on 2012-02-08.

  • Support for the overflow and clip properties.

  • Support for the opacity property from CSS3 Colors.

  • Support for CSS 2D Transforms. These are prefixed, so you need to use -weasy-transform and -weasy-transform-origin.

Version 0.4

Released on 2012-02-07.

  • Support text-align: justify, word-spacing and letter-spacing.

  • Partial support for CSS3 Paged Media: page size and margin boxes with page-based counters.

  • All CSS 2.1 border styles

  • Fix SVG images with non-pixel units. Requires CairoSVG 0.3

  • Support for page-break-before and page-break-after, except for the value avoid.

  • Support for the background-clip, background-origin and background-size from CSS3 (but still with a single background per element)

  • Support for the image-rendering from SVG. This one is prefixed, use -weasy-image-rendering. It only has an effect on PNG output.

Version 0.3.1

Released on 2011-12-14.

Compatibility with CairoSVG 0.1.2

Version 0.3

Released on 2011-12-13.

  • Backward-incompatible change: the ‘size’ property is now prefixed (since it is in an experimental specification). Use ‘-weasy-size’ instead.

  • cssutils 0.9.8 or higher is now required.

  • Support SVG images with CairoSVG

  • Support generated content: the :before and :after pseudo-elements, the content, quotes and counter-* properties.

  • Support ordered lists: all CSS 2.1 values of the list-style-type property.

  • New user-agent stylesheet with HTML 5 elements and automatic quotes for many languages. Thanks Peter Moulder!

  • Disable cssutils validation warnings, they are redundant with WeasyPrint’s.

  • Add --version to the command-line script.

  • Various bug fixes

Version 0.2

Released on 2011-11-25.

  • Support for tables.

  • Support the box-sizing property from CSS 3 Basic User Interface

  • Support all values of vertical-align except top and bottom. They are interpreted as text-top and text-bottom.

  • Minor bug fixes

Tables have some limitations: Only the fixed layout and separate border model are supported. There are also no page break inside tables so a table higher than a page will overflow.

Version 0.1

Released on 2011-10-28.

First packaged release. Supports “simple” CSS 2.1 pages: there is no support for floats, tables, or absolute positioning. Other than that most of CSS 2.1 is supported, as well as CSS 3 Colors and Selectors.
