Hi everyone,

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.

Tarball has been uploaded to:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/podofo/files/podofo/0.9.8/

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 (
https://github.com/podofo/podofo), 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.

*Please do not use SVN anymore from now on. Any new development should go
GitHub. Please let me know if you need access.*

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 regards,
 Dominik
