Hi,
thanks for the response. I did read it some time ago. My impression was
not the same as I have after reading these new "insights". It felt more
like "I cannot cope with you due to the way the project is driven, thus
I made my own copy". I'm sorry for being straight. I do not mean it in
any bad way. It's weird to see you won't have time to maintain the
project, but you still begun something new. I also consider security
issues important, somehow. On the other hand, I can understand that it
makes sense to start in "a side branch", especially such large changes.

PoDoFo is still 0.x.y. Having 1.x with a massive API change and
dependencies makes perfect sense. And being it so, these two can
coexist for some time, both in the sources (separate branch for the
0.x, and the trunk for the 1.x) and in the distros. All these things
are possible.

I do not think it's a communication limit solely on your side, I add to
this obstacle too. Others can tell you.
Thanks and bye,
