 The project follows a pragmatic versioning scheme while the app is still below `1.0.0`: minor versions mark coherent user-facing milestones; patch versions mark fixes and small improvements.
 
+## 0.3.4 — PDF.js browser compatibility fix

+### Changed
+
+- Centralized PDF.js setup in a shared module so thumbnail rendering and page preview use the same legacy PDF.js build and worker configuration.
+- Added a local PDF.js worker wrapper that installs a `Uint8Array.prototype.toHex` compatibility shim before PDF.js worker code runs.
+- Added the same `toHex` compatibility shim in the main app bundle for browsers that do not provide it natively.
+- Bumped the app/package version to `0.3.4`.

 The app is a static React/Vite single-page application. There is no backend service, no server-side queue, and no server-side document storage. When hosted correctly, the server only delivers HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and static assets; PDF processing happens in the user's browser.

 - **Thumbnail cache by page and rotation**: Rotated thumbnails are cached and only changed thumbnails need to be regenerated.
 - **Stable page references**: Duplicated pages and reordered pages are tracked as workspace page references rather than only by original page number.
 - **Merge choices**: Loading another PDF can replace the current document, append pages, or insert pages at a chosen position.
+- **PDF.js compatibility setup**: PDF.js is configured through one shared module and a local worker wrapper so the app can polyfill `Uint8Array.prototype.toHex` before PDF.js runs in older browsers.
 - **In-app help**: The app includes a Help/Tutorial dialog with keyboard shortcuts and workflow explanations.
