Hi folks! I would like to share a draft of the release announcement for PoDoFo 0.9.8. I would like to package and publish this release as soon as mabri gives me a "go" once he is done with the patches on his list.
Feel free to share your feedback. *Announcing PoDoFo release 0.9.8* The PoDoFo developers are happy to announce the release of PoDoFo 0.9.8. This release contains over 25 patches submitted by various contributors (see SVN Log for details: https://sourceforge.net/p/podofo/code/commit_browser). We encourage all users to upgrade to this release. Also, this will be the final release of PoDoFo based on the current codebase. After the release we plan to introduce two major changes to PoDoFo development. First of all, we will lock/close the current SVN trunk and switch PoDoFo development to a more modern development platform (e.g. GitHub), where we can leverage state of the art development features such as Continuous Integration or Pull Requests. The mailing list and webpage will stay on SourceForge as well as the issue tracker. Still, we will open a new issue tracker for the new development environment and gradually migrate open issues. We will share more news on this, once the new development environment was set up. Secondly and most importantly, we will replace the current codebase of PoDoFo with the amazing work Francesco Pretto has done with pdfmm ( https://github.com/pdfmm/pdfmm). pdfmm is based on PoDoFo but with an improved and reworked API based on C++17 which we consider more suitable for future development of PoDoFo. After rebasing PoDoFo on pdfmm, we plan to release PoDoFo 1.0.0. Please note, PoDoFo 1.0.0 will be API incompatible (binary and in source code) with PoDoFo 0.9.8. We expect migration steps to be necessary. PoDoFo Tools are currently being ported to pdfmm as a showcase for the migration. Best regard, Dominik
