New in the SumatraPDF [pre-release builds](https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/prerelease):

## JPEG XL images

SumatraPDF opens JPEG XL (`.jxl`) images using the official libjxl decoder ([#1943](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/1943)).

## Password on the command line

Use the `-pwd` command-line argument to open password-protected documents without the password prompt ([#906](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/906)).

## sumatrapdf-tool.exe for command-line tools

The built-in MuPDF command-line tools (draw, convert, info, merge, clean and others) are also available as `sumatrapdf-tool.exe`. It is a console program, so its output works properly in cmd.exe and PowerShell, including with pipes.

## Select annotation and form text; select by word while dragging

Text in free text annotations and in form fields can be selected and searched again, like in version 3.1 and Acrobat ([#1649](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/1649)). After a double-click, keep holding the button and drag to extend the selection one whole word at a time ([#4761](https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/issues/4761)).

![A double-click on water and a drag extend the selection a whole word at a time, forward and back; a drag from the paragraph selects the red free text note Oven at 230 C and the form field Jamie Rivera too; Ctrl + F finds 230 in the note and rivera in the form field](https://youtu.be/jGp9goJ0Nlw)

## "Rendering page N..." for slow pages

In single-page mode, going to a page that takes a long time to render shows "Rendering page N..." instead of leaving the previous page on screen.
