@gerliczkowalczuk You're looking at releases rather than tags: https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF/tags
Latest is 17.7.0.

@fbrennan
A little question: the package version is 17.6.0-1, while the latest upstream release seems to be v17.4.1. Could you explain why you decided to package it this way?
I noticed that the package is flagged out-of-date and wanted to check vesrion.

The app isn't crashing, but it's throwing an error since the libheif update to version 1.22.0-1. This error doesn't happen with the previous version, 1.21.2-2.
dlopen: /usr/lib/libheif/libheif-j2kdec.so: undefined symbol: _Z19get_subsampled_sizejj12heif_channel11heif_chromaPjS1_
Thanks a lot for this awesome app!
P.D. This issue has been fixed within the day, with surprising speed, in a new version 1.22.0-2. Some paid services wish they were this diligent. Kudos to the maintainer or maintainers of this magnificent software. Thanks

ocrmypdf is breaking since the system updated python-uharfbuzz to version 0.54.0-1. I had to downgrade to the old version 0.53.7-1 and everything is working again. This is the error:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/uharfbuzz/_harfbuzz.abi3.so: undefined symbol: hb_raster_image_get_extents

I'm loving this package. Thanks to the maintainers. Hope this will make it into a repository soon.

Since the update to Python 3.14 and the transition to OCRmyPDF v17.x, the current depends array is incomplete, leading to ModuleNotFoundError at runtime. Please add the following mandatory dependencies:
python-pydantic (required for OcrOptions validation)
python-uharfbuzz (required for text shaping)
python-fpdf2 (required for the new default PDF renderer)
Without these, the application fails to start even if the build process completes successfully.

The flag was invalid and has been removed with no action taken as no new version was released. There's nothing to do for this package; no new release has been made. Rebuild, as @eclairevoyant has said.
