Hello, long time without updates. A couple of critical bugfix versions, with 0.10.3[1] being the last one, were recently released. In the news 2 major open source users of PoDoFo were ported to 0.10.x, namely Calibre and Scribus. With recent bugfixing, functionalities that used to work in 0.9.x (eg. PdfStreamedDocument) are now working in master (still unreleased), meaning that there shouldn't be more reasons to continue using 0.9.x, other than the burden of conversion. We also have automatically generated documentation[2], even though I'm not currently looking too much at the quality of the output. Of the projects I hoped to continue working two stalled, that are1) working on tools and 2) pursue LGPL/MPL relicensing: I hope to continue to work at least on relicensing next year. Instead a new Pdf signing API[3] was introduced as I promised for quite some time and it's also unit tested[4]. Even though by default it does a basic signing of the document (using most recent standard PAdES-B), it is VERY powerful and can be easily extended to use external signing services and add attributes. A mention of it in the README is still pending. From now on, my focus will be on finalizing the API review and have a 1.0[5] release with a stable API. That is: every single method/class of the API that I haven't looked yet will be looked though for consistency and robustness of the API design. To not create more incompatible APIs, 0.11 probably will be not released. E.T.A. still not determined.
That's all for now.
