Hi,
having a 2.0.0 release is what a number of users are waiting for
(including me). However this also means that the current flexibility of
changing APIs will be stopped and one has to agree to a set of APIs
which will change during the 2.0.x cycle only minimal (at least in a
compatible way). Pushing an agreement on the APIs currently in flux is
fine and will trigger a number of developers adjusting their
applications to the new 2.0 API.
I would therefor vote for having a small number of release candidates
since I can imaging that there will be some developers having problems
adjusting their applications with the now more 'hidden' classes/methods
and it may be necessary to adjust some APIs in this process.
In order to keep the pressure on the small number of active PDFBOX
developer minimal it would also be helpful to declare at least parts of
PDFBOX APIs to be 2.0 stable, allowing other developers upgrading their
applications against these API subset. This way we would have an
iterative process leasing to the 2.0 release.
Just my 2¢
Best,
Timo

Hi,
I'd like to do a 2.0.0 release rather sooner than later and I guess I'm not the
only one ;-)
We are down to 24 issues marked with "Fix Version 2.0.0".
@Assignees: please have a look at "your" issues and verify if we really should
wait for them to be resolved first or if those could be moved to a later release
(2.1.0 or 3.0.0)
To start with a release candidate would be another option, but I'd prefer to
release 2.0.0.
WDYT?
