Hi,
I have posted my third and hopefully last candidate for the first Apache
release of the FontBox library developed within the PDFBox podling. I've
fixed the last issue concerning the missing license files in the
precompiled jar.
The candidate can be found at
http://people.apache.org/~lehmi/pdfbox/fontbox-0.8.0-incubating/
See the RELEASE-NOTES.txt file (also included at the end of this
message) for details on release contents. The release candidate is a
jar archive of the sources in
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/pdfbox/fontbox/tags/0.8.0-incubating
The MD5 checksum of the fontbox-0.8.0-incubating-src.jar release package
is 37 D4 F0 31 B6 CC BD B0 EA BE AF F7 1B 63 41 AE
Please vote on releasing this package as Apache FontBox
0.8.0-incubating. The vote is open for the next 72 hours and passes if
a majority of at least three +1 PDFBox PPMC votes is reached. Assuming
the vote passes, I will ask the Incubator PMC to approve the release.
[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache FontBox 0.8.0-incubating
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because...
With the source release I have also included a pre-compiled jar file.
The Maven POM file from the source release is also included so that we
can deploy the released jar to the central Maven repository if the
release vote passes.
Here's my +1.
Thanks in advance for your patience with me as manager of this release.

Release Notes -- Apache FontBox -- Version 0.8.0-incubating
Introduction
------------
Apache FontBox is an open source Java library for working with PDF fonts.
This 0.8.0-incubating release is the first FontBox release made at the
Apache Software Foundation. The most notable change since the previous
release (0.2.0) is the renaming of all Java packages from org.fontbox to
org.apache.fontbox. If you've used FontBox before, you need to update all
your client code to use the renamed FontBox packages.
The version number of FontBox was upgraded from 0.2.0 to 0.8.0 to better
match the version numbering of Apache PDFBox. The -incubating label included
in the version number reflects the incubation status of the project. See
the disclaimer below for more about incubation.
See the Apache PDFBox website at http://incubator.apache.org/pdfbox/ for
more information.
Release Contents
----------------
This release consists of a source archive
(fontbox-0.8.0-incubating-src.jar).
You can build the release with Apache Ant like this:
jar xf fontbox-0.8.0-incubating-src.jar
cd fontbox-0.8.0
ant
The source archive is accompanied by SHA1 and MD5 checksums and a PGP
signature that you can use to verify the authenticity of your download.
The public key used for the PGP signature can be found at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/pdfbox/KEYS.
Disclaimer
----------
Apache PDFBox is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates
that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have
stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While
incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or
stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully
endorsed by the ASF.
See http://incubator.apache.org/projects/pdfbox.html for the current
incubation status of the Apache PDFBox project.
