Local stable-candidate qualification was performed on 2026-08-21 for
0.13.0 with .NET SDK 10.0.302 on Windows 10.0.26200. The library compiles
for net8.0 and net10.0; the CLI tool targets net8.0 with major-version
roll-forward.
- Release solution build: 0 warnings, 0 errors, including the Blazor WebAssembly playground.
- NUnitLite: 339 passed, 0 failed, 0 warnings, 0 skipped.
- Managed-only source and restored NuGet graph verification: passed.
- Library and CLI NuGet content, dependency, license, metadata, embedded portable-PDB and Source Link verification: passed.
- Clean local-package consumers: passed on
net8.0andnet10.0, including HTML, schema1.0, standalone-page reopen and public limit failures. - Packaged dotnet-tool install/version, HTML, selected-range HTML/JSON, page separation, normalized/raw font names and structured image bundle: passed.
- Packaged CLI negative limit smokes returned the expected exit code without leaving result artifacts.
- A candidate snapshot assembled outside
.gitrestored, built, passed the managed-only verifier and all 339 tests, repacked both packages, passed both strict package verifiers, exercisednet8.0/net10.0consumers and exercised the installed CLI tool. - Release tag guard: accepted
v0.13.0and rejected a mismatched tag. - Browser smoke: the local WebAssembly app reported
0.13.0, loaded the demo PDF, rendered selectable HTML by default, exposed HTML/PNG/SVG and document downloads, and produced no warning/error console entries.
The stable change is not committed or pushed by this local record. The exact pushed revision must still pass GitHub Actions on Ubuntu, Windows and macOS. PR merge, stable tag, GitHub release and NuGet publication are not claimed.
The stable branch starts from approved master commit
386a031f2840cdf0e3d04e11f17646849c26764f, the merge result of PR #41.
The RC.1 master workflow run #83 and release workflow run #84 completed
successfully; issue #33 and its milestone are closed. No stable-candidate
change adds a feature or fixes a release blocker.
Stable 0.13.0 adds no callable public member and changes no public option
default from RC.1. ReleaseCandidateTests enforces these SHA-256
fingerprints:
| Contract | SHA-256 |

Only the complete public API hash changed, as expected from
Document.PortVersion. The callable/default/schema/manifest/CLI hashes are
identical to RC.1. The three HTML corpus byte counts decreased by exactly five
bytes because the embedded generator label changed from 0.13.0-rc.1 to
0.13.0; canonical rendering hashes remained unchanged.
The representative two-page HTML/structured/separation gate completed in approximately 2.6 ms with 0.8 MiB allocated, below its 3 second/32 MiB limits. The six-page release smoke completed in approximately 33.3-33.8 ms with 7.6 MiB allocated, below its 5 second/32 MiB limits. These values are local regression guardrails, not cross-platform benchmarks.
The release corpus also covers deterministic concurrent reads, attachment materialization and twelve concurrent conversion families. Cached repeated page reads retained roughly 77 KiB versus about 8 MiB without the cache in the local guard test.
The local working-tree pipeline produced:
Poppler.Net.0.13.0.nupkg— SHA-256acbc239627a5291fa72d39e0e0889e71f2c510a5ca776743ad94b11a6fdd6da3;Poppler.Net.Cli.0.13.0.nupkg— SHA-2567cfb13286076de561cb5605f91f5603567728aebc77ba8eb1e9ed395952cda12.
These hashes identify local uncommitted qualification artifacts. They will change when repository/Source Link metadata records the final pushed commit. Release artifacts must use and record hashes from the green CI run.
Runtime dependencies remain CoreJ2K 2.3.3.91, JBig2Decoder.NETStandard 1.5.2 and StbImageSharp 2.30.15. Package inspection accepts only the documented managed assemblies/XML files, embedded PDBs, README, release notes, GPL license, provenance notice and exact NuGet metadata.
The complete historical and 0.13 corpora cover fixed-layout HTML, standalone-page PDFs, JSON/XML/XHTML, safe image exports, text/font mapping, graphics, annotations, forms, optional content, encryption, damaged inputs and resource limits.
The pinned Poppler 26.07 source reference was reviewed at
C:\Users\mi\Documents\poppler-26.07.0: pdftohtml/HtmlOutputDev,
pdfseparate/PDFDoc::savePageAs, pdftotext/TextOutputDev and
pdfimages/ImageOutputDev sources are present and match the classifications
in docs/CONVERSION_COMPATIBILITY.md. A live executable differential was not
run because no Poppler 26.07 binary installation is available; it remains an
optional development reproducer and is intentionally not a package or CI
dependency.
No known P0/P1 defect remains in the declared 0.13 scope. Semantic/reflow HTML, page merge/recomposition, OCR, office reconstruction and additional formats are explicitly deferred to GitHub issue #40.
