This patch updates the minimum supported browsers as follows:
- Safari 16.4, which was released on 2023-03-27; see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-16_4-release-notes
Nowadays we usually we try, where feasible and possible, to support browsers/environments that are about two years old. The reasons for limiting support to a slightly more recent Safari version include:
- Safari has always been slower, compared to other browsers, at implementing e.g. new JavaScript features.
- Trying to provide support for Safari is often difficult, and over the years we have seen *a lot* of bugs that are specific to Safari.
- Safari is, and has been for many years, only listed as "mostly" supported in the FAQ.
- This allows us to remove feature-testing, only relevant to Safari, from the main code-base.
By limiting support to only "recent" browsers we reduce the risk of holding back improvements of the built-in Firefox PDF Viewer, and also (significantly) reduce the maintenance/support burden for the PDF.js core contributors.
*Please note:* As always, the minimum supported browser version assumes that a `legacy`-build of the PDF.js library is being used; see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support
In Node.js 10.12.0 the `recursive` option was added to `fs.mkdirSync`.
This option allows us to create a directory and all its parent
directories if they do not exist, making it a drop-in replacement for
the `mkdirp` dependency we use.
Given that PDF.js now requires Node.js 18+ we can be sure that this
option is available, so we can safely remove `mkdirp` and reduce the
number of project dependencies.

This replaces our custom `PromiseCapability`-class with the new native `Promise.withResolvers()` functionality, which does *almost* the same thing[1]; please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/withResolvers
The only difference is that `PromiseCapability` also had a `settled`-getter, which was however not widely used and the call-sites can either be removed or re-factored to avoid it. In particular:
- In `src/display/api.js` we can tweak the `PDFObjects`-class to use a "special" initial data-value and just compare against that, in order to replace the `settled`-state.
- In `web/app.js` we change the only case to manually track the `settled`-state, which should hopefully be OK given how this is being used.
- In `web/pdf_outline_viewer.js` we can remove the `settled`-checks, since the code should work just fine without it. The only thing that could potentially happen is that we try to `resolve` a Promise multiple times, which is however *not* a problem since the value of a Promise cannot be changed once fulfilled or rejected.
- In `web/pdf_viewer.js` we can remove the `settled`-checks, since the code should work fine without them:
- For the `_onePageRenderedCapability` case the `settled`-check is used in a `EventBus`-listener which is *removed* on its first (valid) invocation.
- For the `_pagesCapability` case the `settled`-check is used in a print-related helper that works just fine with "only" the other checks.
- In `test/unit/api_spec.js` we can change the few relevant cases to manually track the `settled`-state, since this is both simple and *test-only* code.

[1] In browsers/environments that lack native support, note [the compatibility data](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/withResolvers#browser_compatibility), it'll be polyfilled via the `core-js` library (but only in `legacy` builds).
This patch updates the minimum supported browsers as follows:
- Google Chrome 98, which was released on 2022-02-01; see https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2022/02/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html
The primary reason for this version bump is `structuredClone` support, please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/structuredClone#browser_compatibility
At this point in time we're using `structuredClone` in different parts of the code-base, and it's unfortunately functionality that's difficult to polyfill *completely* (affects the `transfer` option specifically).
Note that nowadays we usually try, where feasible and possible, to support browsers that are about two years old. By limiting support to only "recent" browsers we reduce the risk of holding back improvements of the *built-in* Firefox PDF Viewer, and also (significantly) reduce the maintenance/support burden for the PDF.js contributors.
*Please note:* As always, the minimum supported browser version assumes that a `legacy`-build of the PDF.js library is being used; see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#faq-support
Given that the "PREFERENCE" kind is used e.g. to generate the preference-list for the Firefox PDF Viewer, those options need to be carefully validated.
With this patch we'll now check this unconditionally in development mode, during testing, and when creating the preferences in the gulpfile.
Over time, as we've started relying more and more on import maps, the number of aliases have increased a lot. This is now affecting the size and readability of `createWebpackConfig`, which was already fairly large and complex, hence moving the aliases to their own function should help improve things a little bit.
As part of the changes in PR 17686 we "accidentally" enabled source-maps for the *minified* builds, which seems unnecessary since those have never been included in the `pdfjs-dist` output.
Locally this patch reduces the run-time of `gulp minified` by ~15 percent.
Rather than first building the library and then use Terser "manually" to minify the files, we can utilize a Webpack plugin to combine these steps which helps to simplify the gulpfile.
- Run the minification in "parallel" since that should be a *tiny* bit more efficient.
- Don't rename the minified files since that seems unnecessary, especially considering that they are only used in the `dist-pre` target where we currently change the name back manually.
After the changes in PR 17637 there's no longer any reason to invoke `tweakWebpackOutput` without an argument, since the `__non_webpack_import__` re-writing was moved into the Babel plugin.
This way we can avoid a (little) bit of unnecessary parsing during building.
Note how we're using custom `__non_webpack_import__`-calls in the code-base, that we replace during the post-processing stage of the build, to be able to write `import`-calls that Webpack will leave alone during parsing.
This work-around is necessary since we let Babel discards all comments, given that we generally don't need/want them in the builds, hence why we cannot utilize `/* webpackIgnore: true */`-comments in the source-code.
After the changes in PR 17563 it thus seems to me that we should be able to just move this re-writing into the Babel plugin instead.
- Ensure that localization works in the GENERIC viewer, even if the necessary locale files cannot be loaded.
This was the behaviour prior to the introduction of Fluent, and it seems worthwhile to keep that (especially since we already bundle the en-US strings anyway).
- Let the `GenericL10n`-implementation use the *bundled* en-US strings directly when no language is provided.
- Remove the `NullL10n`-implementation, and simply fallback to `GenericL10n`, to reduce the maintenance burden of viewer-components localization.
- Indirectly, given the previous point, stop exporting `NullL10n` in the viewer-components since it's now removed.
Note that it was never really intended to be used directly and only existed as a fallback.
*Please note:* This doesn't affect the Firefox PDF Viewer, thanks to the use of import maps.
The `DefaultExternalServices` code, which is used to provide build-specific functionality, is very old. This results in a pattern where we first initialize `PDFViewerApplication.externalServices` and then *override* it for the different builds.
By converting `DefaultExternalServices` into a "regular" class, and leveraging import maps, we can directly initialize the correct instance depending on the build.
Given the simplicity of the `createPreferences` method, we can leverage import maps to directly initialize the correct `Preferences`-instance depending on the build.
Given the simplicity of the `createDownloadManager` method, we can leverage import maps to directly initialize the correct `DownloadManager`-instance depending on the build.
This commit converts the pdfjsdev-loader transform into a Babel plugin,
to skip a AST->string->AST round-trip.
Before this commit, the webpack build process was:
1. Babel parses the code
2. Babel transforms the AST
3. Babel generates the code
4. Acorn parses the code
5. pdfjsdev-loader transforms the AST
6. @javascript-obfuscator/escodegen generates the code
7. Webpack parses the file
8. Webpack concatenates the files
After this commit, it is reduced to:
1. Babel parses the code
2. Babel transforms the AST
3. babel-plugin-pdfjs-preprocessor transforms the AST
4. Babel generates the code
5. Webpack parses the file
6. Webpack concatenates the files
This change improves the build time by ~25% (tested on MacBook Air M2):
- `gulp lib`: 3.4s to 2.6s
- `gulp dist`: 36s to 29s
- `gulp generic`: 5.5s to 4.0s
- `gulp mozcentral`: 4.7s to 3.2s
The new Babel plugin doesn't support the `saveComments` option of
pdfjsdev-loader, and it just always discards comments. Even though
pdfjsdev-loader supported multiple values for that option, it was
effectively ignored due to `acorn` dropping comments by default.
In the Gulpfile only the exit codes of `test.mjs` child processes
erroneously aren't checked. This causes failures in `test.mjs` to be
logged but not propagated to the master process, which in turn causes
test runners such as GitHub Actions to succeed because they only
monitor the master process. This is easy to reproduce by throwing an
error at the top of `test.mjs` and running `gulp makeref` or `gulp
unittest`: the error is logged, but the task that spawned the child
process succeeds and the master process exits with exit code 0. This is
problematic because it can easily cause errors to go by unnoticed.
This commit fixes the issue by making sure that the `test.mjs`
invocations are handled in the same way as the other child processes
in the file, i.e., if the child process exits with a non-zero exit code
then the master process also exits with a non-zero exit code. After this
patch the error is still logged, but the task now also fails and the
master process exits with exit code 1 to properly signal failure.
The doorhanger for highlighting has a basic color picker composed of 5 predefined colors
to set the default color to use.
These colors can be changed thanks to a preference for now but it's something which could
be changed in the Firefox settings in the future.
Each highlight has in its own toolbar a color picker to just change its color.
The different color pickers are so similar (modulo few differences in their styles) that
this patch introduces a new class ColorPicker which provides a color picker component
which could be reused in future editors.
All in all, a large part of this patch is dedicated to color picker itself and its style
and the rest is almost a matter of wiring the component.
This is consistent with the implementation used in the (now removed) webL10n-library, and by only using lowercase language-codes internally in the `L10n`-implementations we should avoid future issues e.g. when users manually set the `locale`-option (in the default viewer).
This commit migrates the font tests away from the bots. Not only are the
font tests broken on the Windows bot since some time, they also run on
Python 2 (end of life since January 2020) and `ttx` 3.19.0 (released in
November 2017). The latter is installed via a submodule, which requires
more complicated logic for finding and running `ttx`.
We solve the issues by implementing a modern workflow that installs the
most recent stable Python and `ttx` (`fonttools` package) versions. This
simplifies the `ttx` driver code as well because it can now assume `ttx`
is available on the path (just like we do for e.g. `node` invocations).
GitHub Actions takes care of creating a virtual environment with
`fonttools` in it so that the `ttx` entrypoint is available. Locally
the font tests can be run in a similar way by creating and sourcing a
virtual environment with `fonttools` in it before running the font
tests, and a README file is included with instructions for doing so.
This commit prepares for running the font tests on GitHub Actions where
we can't spin up headful browsers because there are no display
capabilities on the workers. This will also be useful for porting other
test targets to GitHub Actions at a later time, as well as running the
tests locally in headless mode.
After recent PRs the size and scope of the CI workflow is now reduced, and this patch tries to simplify things further. More specifically we can directly specify the gulp-tasks in the workflow, and thus clean-up the `gulpfile` a tiny bit.
Note that this will technically be slower, since the tests are now run in series (rather than in parallel), however `gulp externaltest` runs so quickly that it really won't matter in practice.
