Introduction

marker-pdf had several new updates and improvements over the past months, including a new major release. I'm upgrading to the new version.

Among the changes:

Improve performance by 10-15% (0.3.10)
2x faster due to a new layout model (1.0.0)
Consistent internal schema for blocks and pages (1.0.0)
Much higher quality output (1.0.0)
Fix lots of misc bugs, including encoding, empty page problems, and image rendering (1.0.1)
Improve list processing with joining and nesting (1.0.1)
Add in blockquotes (1.0.1)
Slightly improve performance (1.0.1)
Automatically detect bad OCR text and re-OCR the document. This consists of some PDF-level heuristics and a new OCR quality model. (1.2.0)
Layout model is now half the size and ~2x faster (most of the runtime in the general case is layout, so this should result in a big overall speedup). It's also more accurate. (1.2.0)
Tables now handle colspans and rowspans properly (1.3.0)
Improved table model with better accuracy (1.3.0)
Links and references are now pulled out of the pdf, and are clickable (1.3.0)
Anchors are placed on elements as targets (1.3.0)
Better inline math detection with an improved model. (1.6.0)

Lot's of good things for almost no cost!
