Hello everybody, if I understood it correctly you are planing to release PDFBox 3.0 in the not too distant future.
Would you mind to provide a PDFBOX 3.0-alpha1 release in Maven Central, so that I (and possible others too) could test open source and proprietary projects with it? Of course, the Alpha would have a big red warning „Not guaranteed to be source or binary compatible with later 3.0 versions, for testing only!“. This would allow to find issues which may need some source/binary compatible changes before effectively freezing the 3.0 release. Why does it need to be on Maven Central? => This would allow to start branches targeting PDFBox 3.0 in open source projects and still be able to be build by Travis, Github Actions etc. I plan to do such PDFBox 3.0 branches for the two PDFBox related projects I’m involved with (https://github.com/rototor/pdfbox-graphics2d <https://github.com/rototor/pdfbox-graphics2d>, https://github.com/danfickle/openhtmltopdf <https://github.com/danfickle/openhtmltopdf>).
