Title: mat2 0.12.4
Date: 2022-04-30 17:30

There is a new bugfix version of MAT2:
[0.12.4](https://0xacab.org/jvoisin/mat2/tags/0.12.4), mostly [fixing a major
bug](https://0xacab.org/jvoisin/mat2/-/commit/1b37604d3a5b9af1a776ed73bcc18eacf597394e)
that could result in crashes/errors when processing multiple files
via the command line interface. Can you spot the bug?

```python
with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
    futures = list()
    for f in files:
        future = executor.submit(clean_meta, f, args.lightweight, inplace, args.sandbox, policy)
        futures.append(future)
    for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(futures):
        no_failure &= future.result()
```

If not, check the fix
[here](https://0xacab.org/jvoisin/mat2/-/commit/1b37604d3a5b9af1a776ed73bcc18eacf597394e?view=parallel).
This release also addresses a couple of minor issues:

- Fix possible errors/crashes when processing multiple files
  via the command line interface
- Use a fixed PDF version for the output
- Improve compatibility with modern versions of rsvg
- Improve the robustness of the command line interface with
  regard to control characters
