Hi,
We just released 3.0 after many years. Despite the long time, 3.0.0 and
3.0.1 contained nasty bugs that involve loss of data. So these should be
fixed first and then see if there are still bug reports coming after
3.0.2. Most such bugs have been fixed, but not all.
My personal opinion re java 17 is that I prefer it like it is, i.e. stay
with 11. The lower we are, the more users we keep. I don't like that
idea to force users on higher versions, like Spring did.

Happy New Year everybody!
After accidentally sending this to the POI list, I hope I get it right this
time...
I want to ask about the roadmap to PDFBox 4.0, specifically:
- Java version: currently PDFBox 4.0 is on Java 11. In the meantime, we have
two newer LTS versions (17 and 21). Many important projects have decided to
bump minimum requirements to Java 17 in the meantime like Spring and Spring
BOOT, JOOQ, and others. What are your thoughts? Personally, I think staying on
Java 11 is alright, I just wanted to ask.
- How far along have we come towards 4.0? Maybe a first alpha could be released
to get more people trying out the new version - and yes, I’d probably just jump
to a 4.0 alpha release with my own personal project ;-)
- If there’s anything blocking a release, let me know where I can contribute (I
will probably have less time now than during the last months because I have a
new budget from my main customer for my day job so will be more busy than in
december).
Cheers,
Axel
