Hi All, I really want to give a better answer to this question, but the JIRA issues were not labelled with enough version-related information to allow me to simply view a list of issues which are due to be fixed in 2.0.
As you’re probably aware, I went through pretty much all the issues and made sure that issues which definitely affect 2.0 had that in their "Affects Version/s” field. I also set the "Fix Version/s” for issues which are due to be fixed in 2.0, so for the first time we have a way to see which issues are due to be fixed. The end result is here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20PDFBOX%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC So I can now say that we have 166 issues due to be fixed in 2.0. We might want to choose to defer some of these (we’ll need to add a “Later” version to JIRA to do that) and to maybe take a look at issues which overlap with current development such as xrefs, rendering, and parsing.
