Hi,
as so many other users, I would appreciate a pdfbox version 2.0 release as
soon as possible. Or at least a plan for it.
In our project, we suffer from the same problems as described by Simon. In
our release plan, we had the move to pdfbox 2.0 planned for this year. But
the APIs are changing too often and too much so far. Also, I need to review
the redesigned font handling to see whether it can be used in our J2EE
environment where configurations change at runtime - anything statically
accessed and statically cached is evil for us. I had to abandon the work on
this until there is at least a half way guarantee that the APIs will not be
completely different the next day.
So, as many users before, I have to ask, too - could you make up a release
plan for 2.0? Or at least a milestone plan for the final version of APIs and
publicly accessible classes? Such a milestone would be good to be able to
discuss breaking API changes before the final release. It would give me a
chance to complain soon enough about APIs I was using and which are gone the
other day.
Best regards,
Petr.

Hi,
Apache Fop project needs to make a release in next few weeks.
We currently include pdfbox 2 snapshot jars since we can't rely on awt
parsing fonts in 1.8 as this doesn't work under Java 7, pdfbox 2 fixed this
by writing its own font parsers.
Also we make use of font parsers added in 2.0 and many other bugs fixed.
Can Fop project make a release including PDFBox 2.0 snapshot jars in our
release?
Thanks
