Hi,

from time to time I come across a method signature with … throws IOException 
where the code will not throw an exception and as such the declaration is nt 
neccessary.

Can we remove such declarations in minor releases (e.g. 2.1)  or does that need 
a major release (e.g. 3.0).
I'm afraid that's a change which requires a major release. Which leads to the 
question if we might change the trunk from 2.1 to 3.0 and create an additional 
2.1 branch:

WDYT?
I'm not in favor of that as we already have to apply patches to 1.8.x, 2.0.x 
and 2.1. If there is yet another active branch that adds to that. I'll open an 
issue for 3.0 to not forget about that.
That's correct, but once we introduce an major change, we have to do that 
split, but only if we want to introduce a possible 2.1 version.
I'd see us do a 2.1 as we want to keep PDFBox stable for a while and not do 
another major release 'shortly'

The 1.8. branch will become more and more obsolete. IMHO we won't cut more than 
1 or 2 more releases.
Maybe do a 2.1 in the not to far future (August?) and retire 1.8 after that.  
We could agree on the topics to work on for 2.1. For me that's

My main wish would be a  2.0.2 release due to the signature bug.

If we do a 2.1 release, then retire the 2.0 and keep the 1.8.* for a while, I think that one has a big user base.


Appearance generation (which can also extend into 2.2 with an intial support in 
2.1 - some appearances are harder to generate than others e.g. stamps)

You mean the clouds? I don't see this as a big priority. I've never seen these except in test documents.

Tilman

Easier forms creation
(Visible) Signature rewrite (which ties into the topics above)
Incremental safe

I was planning for Complex Script support but that could also wait until after 
2.1 which would then come together with a better text formatter.

Shall we update the ideas page accordingly?
