Hi, find attached a quick draft of the board report we're expected to submit this month (tomorrow, sorry for my lateness).
Any comments, objections or additions? <draft> The Apache PDFBox library is an open source Java tool for working with PDF documents. General Comments ---------------- There are no issues that require Board attention. Community --------- There is a steady stream of contributions and bug reports from the community. Wolfgang Glas offered to contribute some code to improve the unicode support when creating documents, one of the most asked features. The new conforming parser works well and will replace the old one at least in the next major release. Releases -------- PDFBox 1.7.0 was released on 29 May 2012 We are planning to cut a 1.7.1 bugfix release in the near future. Development: ------------ The development on the next release is still in progress. We are currently working on - improved font handling - improved rendering - refactoring + improved integration of preflight - bugfixing We just started a discussion on how to proceed with the next release(s), it looks like the next release will probably be a major one. </draft> BR Andreas Lehmkühler
