Dear Dominik, podofo-users, PoDoFo 1.0.0[1] and 0.10.5[2] were just released. 0.10.5 is a maintenance release with several critical fixes while 1.0.0 is the big feature release we talked about in the past 2 years and a half, so I recommend checking out the changelog and the huge list of API cleanups[3]. As a last minute addition, starting with PoDoFo 1.0 the CMake integration[4] has been further improved so it will be super easy to consume it from package managers.
Few more details about the 1.0.0 release: - Support policy: I decided to document[5] the current state of affairs. That is: there's a single LTS release that is supported for at least 2 years. The current LTS is still 0.10.x but it will be switched to 1.x something later on this year. This release is specifically thought for Linux distributions like RHEL, Ubuntu, etc. . Widening of the support policy can happen with the help of more developers/maintainers; - API stability: with 1.0.0 the API is now "protected" which hopefully It will mean stable for most people. More details on[5]; - Tools: legacy PoDoFo tools are still unsupported, untested and unmaintained and I will be vocal against packaging tools compiled with 1.x. If you need the last "working" tools you will still need 0.9.x. This policy may change in the future; - Licensing: licensing is still LGPL2+. MPL2 licensing effort is not (yet) complete; - Next goals: rest (a bit), podofoimpose cleanups/improvements (and maybe others, but no promises), MPL2 licensing, recovery mode[6]. If you are still a 0.9.x user: I urge you to upgrade. As the Angry Video Game Nerd says "You want to cut steak with a plastic spoon? No. Get the knife". Do yourself a favour: get PoDoFo 1.0.
