+- fixed calculation of glyph widths for embedded CFF fonts in some special cases;
+- fixed validation of digital signature ByteRange array;
+- fixed recursive links of color spaces;
+- fixed validation of spaces in the indirect object header;
+- fixed Crypt filter handling;
+- fixed misprint in ‘Lbl’ structure tag; and
+- added support for glyphs with CIDs > 65535 (with an appropriate validation. error)
+
+## Policy checker:
+- fixed feature extraction from encrypted documents.
+
+## Test corpus:
+- added new test corpus for the Technical Working Group resolutions;
+- fixed test file for digital signature validation; and
