v4.2.67

This release includes a new JPX decoder, based on OpenJPEG, which improves JPX image rendering performance and correctness. Moreover, this release contains improvements for the annotation editor, font conversion and the viewer.

Note that text selection boxes for some PDF files may overlap visually. This is a known issue that we currently track in #17561.
