# Description of Changes
Please provide a summary of the changes, including:
This PR refactors multiple instances of type casting throughout the
codebase by replacing them with Java's pattern matching for
`instanceof`. This approach eliminates redundant type casting, improves
code readability, and reduces the chances of `ClassCastException`. The
changes primarily affect authentication handling, PDF processing, and
certificate validation.
### Key Changes:
- Replaced traditional `instanceof` checks followed by explicit casting
with pattern matching.
- Improved readability and maintainability of type-related operations.
- Applied changes across security modules, PDF utilities, and image
processing functions.
This refactor does not introduce new functionality but enhances the
robustness and clarity of the existing code.
pending until #2818 is published

# Description of Changes
Please provide a summary of the changes, including:
What was changed:
- Refactored path constructions in multiple classes (e.g.,
SPDFApplication.java, InstallationPathConfig.java,
RuntimePathConfig.java) to use Java NIO’s Paths.get() and Path.of()
instead of manual string concatenation.
Why the change was made:
- To improve code readability, maintainability, and robustness by
leveraging modern Java NIO utilities.
- To ensure better portability across different operating systems by
avoiding hardcoded file separators.
Challenges encountered:
- Maintaining backward compatibility while transitioning from manual
string concatenation to using Paths for file path construction.
- Ensuring that the refactored path resolution works consistently across
all supported environments (Windows, macOS, Linux, and Docker).
@Frooodle can you check the docker path `/.dockerenv`?

# Description of Changes
This pull request includes several changes primarily focused on
improving configuration management, removing deprecated methods, and
updating paths for external dependencies. The most important changes are
summarized below:
### Configuration Management Improvements:
* Added a new `RuntimePathConfig` class to manage dynamic paths for
operations and pipeline configurations
(`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/RuntimePathConfig.java`).
* Removed the `bookAndHtmlFormatsInstalled` bean and its associated
logic from `AppConfig` and `EndpointConfiguration`
(`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/AppConfig.java`,
`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/EndpointConfiguration.java`).

### External Dependency Path Updates:
* Updated paths for `weasyprint` and `unoconvert` in
`ExternalAppDepConfig` to use values from `RuntimePathConfig`
(`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/ExternalAppDepConfig.java`).
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-c47af298c07c2622aa98b038b78822c56bdb002de71081e102d344794e7832a6R12-L33)

### Minor Adjustments:
* Corrected a typo from "Unoconv" to "Unoconvert" in
`EndpointConfiguration`
(`src/main/java/stirling/software/SPDF/config/EndpointConfiguration.java`).

# Description of Changes
### Summary
- Added support for configuring UI languages via `settings.yml`
(`languages` field).
- Modified `LanguageService` to respect the configured languages, while
ensuring British English (`en_GB`) is always enabled.
- Updated Thymeleaf templates to dynamically display only the allowed
languages.
- Improved logging and refactored some list-to-set conversions for
better efficiency.
### Why the Change?
- Allows administrators to limit available UI languages instead of
displaying all detected languages.
- Provides better customization options and simplifies language
management.
### Challenges Encountered
- Ensuring backwards compatibility: If `languages` is empty, all
languages remain enabled.
- Handling `Set<String>` instead of `List<String>` in `LanguageService`
for optimized lookups.

# Description
1. **Conditional Support for DatabaseController**:
- The `DatabaseController` is now annotated with
`@Conditional(H2SQLCondition.class)` to ensure it is only available for
H2SQL database setups.
- This prevents unnecessary exposure of endpoints when the application
is configured for H2SQL.
2. **Database Web Template Adjustments**:
- The UI elements related to database management are conditionally
hidden when the database type is not supported (e.g., `databaseVersion
== 'Unknown'`).
- Improves user experience by avoiding unsupported operations for
non-H2SQL or unknown databases.
3. **Model Attribute Updates**:
- Added a check in `DatabaseWebController` to set an informational
message (`notSupported`) when the database version is unknown.
4. **H2 Database Compatibility**:
- Additional adjustments to ensure the application gracefully handles
H2-specific functionality without affecting other database
configurations.
5. **Build File Updates**:
- Updated the `build.gradle` file to exclude `H2SQLCondition` and
related controllers when specific configurations (e.g., security or
database type) are disabled.
### Benefits:
- Enhances application flexibility by adapting to the configured
database type.
- Improves user feedback with clear messaging and UI adjustments for
unsupported operations.
- Prevents accidental exposure of database endpoints in H2SQL setups.

# Description
External DB support for Stirling PDF. You can now choose between the
default H2 or PostgreSQL by setting the new `enableCustomDatabase`
property to `true` or `false`.
To enable your own custom (PostgreSQL) database:
- Set `enableCustomDatabase` to `true`
- Add your database url to `customDatabaseUrl`
- Set your `username` and `password`

# Description
## Manual Redaction:
- ### Text Selection-based redaction:
-

- Users can now redact currently selected text by selecting the text
then clicking `ctrl + s` shortcut or by pressing on **apply/save/disk
icon** in the toolbar.
- Users can delete/cancel the redacted area by clicking on the box
containing the text, then clicking on `delete/trash` icon or by using
the shortcut `delete`.
- Users can customize the color of the redacted area/text (after the
redaction was applied) by simply clicking on the box containing the
text/area then clicking on the `color palette` icon and choosing the
color they want.
- Users can choose to select the color of redaction before redacting
text or applying changes (this only affects newly created redaction
areas, to change the color of an existing one; check the previous bullet
point).
- ### Draw/Area-based redaction:
-

- Users can now redact an area in the page by selecting the then
clicking `ctrl + s` shortcut or by pressing on **apply/save/disk icon**
in the toolbar.
- Users can delete/cancel the redacted area by clicking on the drawn
box, then clicking on `delete/trash` icon or by using the shortcut
`delete` (requires temporarily turning off drawing mode).
- Users can customize the color of the redacted area (after the
redaction was applied) by simply clicking on the box containing the area
then clicking on the `color palette` icon and choosing the color they
want.
- Users can choose to select the color of redaction before drawing the
box or applying changes (this only affects newly created redaction
areas, to change the color of an existing one; check the previous bullet
point).
- ### Page-based redaction:
-

- Users can now redact **ENTIRE** pages by specifying the page
number(s), range(s) or functions.
- Users can customize the color of page-based redaction (doesn't affect
text-based nor draw-based redactions).
### Redaction modes:
There are three modes of redaction/operation currently supported
- Text Selection-based redaction (TEXT)
- Draw/Area-based redaction (DRAWING)
- None - by simply not choosing any of the above modes (NONE).
## How to use:
- **Text Selection-based redaction:** click on this icon in the toolbar

to enable `text-selection redaction mode` then select the text you want
to redact then press `ctrl + s` or click on the disk/save icon
.
- **Draw/Area-based redaction:** click on this icon in the toolbar

to enable `draw/area-based redaction` then `left mouse click (LMB)` on
the starting point of the rectangle, then once you are satisfied with
the rectangle's placement/dimensions then `left mouse click (LMB)` again
to apply the redaction.
- **Example:** `Left mouse click (LMB)` then move mouse to the right
then bottom then `Left mouse click (LMB)`.
- Note: Red box/rectangle borders indicate that you have not yet saved
(you need to left click on the page to save)

once saved the borders will become green

(they also become clickable/hover-able when drawing mode is off).
- **Page-based redactions:**: Insert the page number(s), range(s) and/or
functions (separated by `,`) then select your preferred color and click
on `Redact` to submit.

- **Color Customizations:**
- You can change the redaction color for new redactions by clicking on
this icon in the toolbar
.
- You can change the redaction color for existing redactions by hovering
over the redaction box then clicking on it (`Left mouse click LMB`) then
clicking on color palette (highlighted in red in the picture)

then select your preferred color.
- **Deletions:**
- You can delete a redacted area by hovering over the redaction box then
clicking on it (`Left mouse click LMB`) then clicking on the trash icon
(highlighted in red in the picture)
.

# Description
This pull request includes several changes aimed at improving the code
structure and removing redundant code. The most significant changes
involve reordering methods, removing unnecessary annotations, and
refactoring constructors to use dependency injection.
Autowired now comes via constructor (which also doesn't need autowired
annotation as its done by default for configuration)
