Version 3.1.0 – July 2018

Orpheus version 3.1 released in July 2018 is a major update, adding features and significantly refactoring the code-base. Most significantly, the underlying PDF Library has been replaced. The new, modern library will provide great improvements in stability and performance, and open up opportunities for continued feature development.

I hope you will be impressed with the improvements in 3.1.  I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has written in with feedback over the years. It has been incredibly encouraging, and also really useful! I’ve taken a lot of your suggestions on board, and hope you love the new Orpheus as much as I do.
