v10

Breaking changes for v10.x:

  • Dropped Python 3.9 compatibility, since it is end of life. Python 3.10 through 3.14 are supported.

  • Dropped macOS 13 support, since it is end of life.

  • Dropped macOS 14 Intel wheels, because GitHub doesn’t provide a way to build them - macOS 15 Intel works fine.

  • Dropped deprecated method Pdf.check() (use .check_pdf_syntax()).

pikepdf now declares unstable “support” for freethreading, and does not publish freethreading wheels. All tests seem to pass, but that’s because the existing tests don’t try to create race conditions. Must be compiled manually.
