Any guestimates for a 1.7.0 release?

It's been a long time (9 months) since 1.6.0... and I count ~203
commits since 1.6.0.

There was already some discussion about it (see "Re: Next
release(s)?" dating from 2012-04-10) and it is clear that a new
version (probably 1.7.0) should be released soon.
IMHO there are some things which should be done before, integrate
Maruans latest patch (PDFBOX-1000), improve the TTF-Parser (PDFBOX-490)

In my opinion there are already a number of improvements in current trunk compared to 1.6 and there is no reason to not release another 1.8 before PDFBOX-1000 is really ready. As I see it we should bump the version to 2.0 if PDFBOX-1000 finally lands. Thus I would vote for only adding stuff already in pipeline and bug fixes in order to do a release in the next few weeks.

However I think we will wait until the project lead is back online.
I guess you are adressing me as PMC Chair. I'm afraid there is a
misunderstanding I'd like to clarify.

There is no concept of leadership within the ASF. An apache project is
led by the PMC [1]. The PMC Chair [2] is just the speaker of the project
and acts as interface to the board of the foundation. All PMC members
[3] including the chair are equal and each of them has one vote.

Point taken. Nevertheless I'd like to have your opinion on a release and expertise doing it :-)


Best regards
Timo
