PDF::Reader 0.6 has been released as a gem on Rubyforge as is now available for download.

PDF::Reader is a pure ruby library that provides programmatic access to the contents of PDF files. This release primarily adds improved text handling, greatly increasing the number of PDFs that can be parsed correctly.

Changes:
- All text is now transparently converted to UTF-8 before being passed to the callbacks, regardless of the encoding used internally
- Fonts that use a difference table to support additional glyphs are now handled correctly.
- Fixed some 1.9 incompatible syntax.
- Expanded rspec coverage.
