+
+	* Improve pdf-invert-images example to show a pattern of copying
+	streams into another QPDF object to enable a stream data provider
+	to access the original stream data.
+
+	* Fix error that caused a compilation error with clang. Fixes
+	#424.

+// library is holding onto the location of the stream data in the
+// original file, which makes it possible for the StreamDataProvider
+// to access it when it needs it.
