1.5.0 ships native Word & Office anonymization, counts quota by real PDF pages, fixes the viewer for rotated text and single-word selection, and fully retires the legacy frontend.

Version 1.5.0 consolidates Word & Office work (conversion, page-based quota, selection and redaction), fixes PDF viewer positioning —including single-word selection and rotated text in margins— and fully retires the legacy frontend. Reference date: 2026-08-04.

Important — legacy frontend retired

From 1.5.0 the classic frontend is deprecated and no longer accessible. The minimal interface (`/anonimo/*`) is the only one available. If you still used the classic frontend, you must use the minimal interface; there is no «classic version» switch in the profile.

What’s new in 1.5.0

Word and Office documents

Native Word (.doc/.docx) and Office anonymization: conversion to working PDF, preview and export in original format or PDF.
Document preparation: conversion to PDF for zones, preview and OCR when needed (LibreOffice on server, with fallbacks).
Coherent page quota: real pages of the converted PDF are counted (Office and images), not an Office file estimate.
Pattern redaction on the original Office file, with option to return result as PDF.

Improved manual selection for Word/Office

Click or drag selection: mark a single occurrence or a global pattern; the «Selections in document» list reflects it.
Better support for accented and Unicode characters when picking terms.
Sync with pattern list and visible marks over the document.

PDF viewer and precise selection

Text layer fix (scaleX with correct origin): single-word highlight aligns with its glyph, no right drift.
Rotated text on sides (~90°): picking a short word (surname or ID in margin) lands on the correct text, no thin lines or jumps to body.
Multiline selections and tables: one box per line when applicable.
Censor fonts aligned (product fonts) for more faithful PDF overlays.

Interface and access

Classic frontend deprecated and inaccessible: all users operate only in minimal (`/anonimo/*`).
Clearer remaining quota card in sidebar (highlighted number, progress bar and unit).
Paginated release notes on Home.
