In December there was a similar email to this going on, asking about a
new release.  It was pointed out that there are still known unfixed CVEs
and other important issues.
See https://sourceforge.net/p/podofo/mailman/message/36151169/

To recap from that thread:

Unfixed security issues:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-6845
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-6846
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-6849
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-8053
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-8054
Plus this one without CVE that was reported in this ML: 
https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2017/02/01/podofo-null-pointer-dereference-in-pdfinfoguessformat-pdfinfo-cpp/
(CVE-2017-8054 had a tentive patch)

A copyright issue:
https://sourceforge.net/p/podofo/mailman/message/35633858/

A threading problem:
https://sourceforge.net/p/podofo/mailman/message/35915862/


Who knows what more…
While you are here, would you reconsider opening a bug tracker
somewhere?  When it was proposed in the past in this ML, nobody was
against it, but everybody deferred to you iirc.
