Yes. We are using version 138 of the BC jars.
Honestly: we are!

Why are you posting this here and not on the BC mailing list?
This is off-topic on the iText mailing list.

We build the Maven bundle using scripts. Our POM template
doesn't even contain the Maven version, just a placeholder
that is replaced automatically with the BC version we are using.

We do an effort to upload this maven bundle; we make sure the
latest iText version is available on Maven. We do this because
people using maven 'demand' this. But it stops there.

Maybe you are the anonymous person who posted a link to
"how to ask for an artifact to be uploaded to central maven repo"
on the following page:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=115255&aid=1897290&group_id=15255

We KNOW how to upload an artifact to maven. HOW ELSE would the
latest version of iText be present in the maven repo??? But
we are NOT going to change our POM manually and we are NOT going
to move back 2 BC versions. IT IS NOT OUR JOB TO DO SO.
We did our part of the job. It's up to others to do their part.

We don't use maven; actually I've followed a three day course on
maven, tried it in some projects and decided it brought more pain
than pleasure. Many people may disagree with me, but what I don't
like is people saying we don't listen to the demands of users.

We provided the maven bundle as a favor. If you don't like that;
don't complain and MOST CERTAINLY: please don't blame us for
problems that aren't ours.

I fail to see where "sender: nobody" found the audacity to post
a link to explain us how to upload an artifact. If he really needs
the latest BC version in maven, can't he upload it himself???
Why should we do it. I can only repeat: we do our part of the job!!!

best regards,
Bruno
