Hello all,

iText1.2.4 has now been released for a while, so I turned it in to a so-called 'stable' release iText1.3. The next version by Paulo will then be 1.3.1.

The main reason for this release are the new tutorial chapters. I made some small changes and some examples will only work with iText1.3.
I won't sum up the new chapters (there are too many of them), just take a look at the TOC:
http://itext.sourceforge.net/tutorial/
Parts I to IV are completed (except for some less important chapters), so now you should know all about ColumnText, OCG, Fonts, etc... I haven't had the time to check my English and to see if all the links are correct, but I'm sure you will do that for me and post me a message if I have to change something.


The major change in 1.3 is the fact that iText.jar can now be executed with
java -jar iText.jar
If you do this, a toolbox will open. The tools are very basic, but they should give you an idea of some of the possibilities iText offers.
I also made a jnlp file so that the iText Toolbox could be used as a Java Web Start application, but I ran into some problems: I see the file selector doesn't work and my site doesn't define the mimetype for JNLP files yet. I hope I can fix this soon.


br,
Bruno
