Harlequin Core v13.2r3 Release Notes
Introduction
Harlequin Release Notes are now published directly to our website.
Harlequin Core v13.2r3 is a minor release since v13.2r2. This release consolidates the work of v13.2r0, 13.2r1, and 13.2r2.
Where performance enhancements indicate % values or time improvements, they are sometimes specific to job types and configuration; they are not cumulative.

This release is for Harlequin Core SDK only; Harlequin MultiRIP (HMR) was not provided.
HQN-385112 - We have deprecated OptimizedPDFCompactMemory for 13.2r3, and will be removing it in 14.0.

| HQN-385015 | Integrate ZLib-ng into Harlequin Core for all platforms. Improved performance of decompression. Affects performance: This has a variable effect on performance, for example jobs that achieve a lot of re-use using HVD benefit less from this because images are often only decompressed once. Jobs with one large image at high resolution that were highly compressible benefit more, up to 200% of the decompression operation the RIP must perform. | |
