I’ve got two issues which should IMHO be looked at before considering a non-alpha release: - PDFBOX-5362: Please look at this patch. Finalizers are deprecated for removal. - PDFBOX-5149: I had to make an ugly InternalDeprecatedCOSCloner class in the org.apache.pdfbox.multipdf package to access the PDFCloneUtility (See https://github.com/rototor/pdfbox-graphics2d/blob/pdfbox-3.0.0/graphics2d/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/multipdf/InternalDeprecatedCOSCloner.java <https://github.com/rototor/pdfbox-graphics2d/blob/pdfbox-3.0.0/graphics2d/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/multipdf/InternalDeprecatedCOSCloner.java>). This is ugly as hell and also will not work as soon as someone plans to use PDFBox with JDK9+ modules. And no, I don’t want to copy and maintain the PDFCloneUtility code. Maybe exporting this functionality under another name with an explicit „Don’t use if you don’t know exactly what you are doing, and don’t ask about it“ remark?
