Hi, We have only two blocker issues keeping us from releasing 0.8.0-incubating:
LEGAL-36: CMaps for PDF CJK Fonts We can include the CMap files in binary release artifacts, but they should not be included in our svn or source releases. I was planning of modifying the Ant build so that it picks up the CMaps from a specified location (either by downloading from a URL or expecting the user to have placed the files in a specific subfolder) and bundles them in the resulting binary jar. PDFBOX-391: Remove or replace troublesome test files We should not distribute test files of unknown licensing status, but it would still be nice to have some way to keep using our existing tests at least internally. My plan is to package all the troublesome test files in a zip file that we just keep around somewhere (outside our svn) for use by interested developers and the Hudson CI build. We can modify the Ant build to automatically pick up and run tests from such a zip file. PS. Note that before 0.8.0-incubating we also need to release FontBox and JempBox, as current PDFBox trunk depends on snapshot versions of those libraries. BR, Jukka Zitting
