Releases
--------
Version 1.8.2 was released on 2th of june 2013
1.8.2 is an incremental bugfix release based on PDFBox 1.8.x.
Development:
------------
We are now using the Apache CMS for our website. Thanks to Maruan Sahyoun and
Joe Schaefer the migration went smooth without any issues.
A discussion about a new major release of PDFBox just started. We already
gathered a lot of ideas of possible changes, such as
- switch to java 1.6
- modularization
- replace/enhance the parser
- refactor the underlying COS model
- code cleanup
