Change the default selection-style to word
Thanks to the stellar work by @hrdl-github in #73, we can now change
the default unit of selection from `glyph` to `word`. This speeds up
selection significantly.
Look at the documentation of `pdf-view-selection-style` for more
information.
Closes: #87

+* Version 1.1.0 (Under Development)
+** Improve overall user experience
+- Make ~selection-style~ configurable when selecting text, via
~pdf-view-selection-style~ @hrdl-github #73
+ + This feature enabled us to change the default ~selection-style~ used in
~pdf-tools~ from =GLYPH= to =WORD=.
+ + The change makes highlighting / selecting text *much* snappier. If you
want to go back to the old behaviour of selecting by glyph instead of word, or
if you want to select a whole line instead, customize ~pdf-view-selection-style~
+
+** Functionality fixes and improvements
+- Fix: Saving a PDF when ~buffer-file-name~ is missing will now prompt for a
filename (eg: in EWW) @akater #178
-* Version 1.0.0 (Under Development)
+* Version 1.0.0
From this version onward, we will follow Semantic Versioning for new
~pdf-tools~ releases.
