Hello Francesco, Dear PoDoFo-Team! This is amazing news! Finally, PoDoFo 1.0.0 is here!
I uploaded PoDoFo 0.1 in June 2006 and almost 20 years later 1.0.0 is there - thanks to Francesco who gladly revived the project again, modernized and enhanced it. It makes me really happy to see the PoDoFo story continue! Thanks to everybody who has contributed! Keep up the good work! Kind regards, Dominik PS: I hope everybody is upgrading soon to PoDoFo 1.0.0 On Sat, May 31, 2025 at 1:03 PM Francesco Pretto <cez...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Dominik, podofo-users, > > PoDoFo 1.0.0[1] and 0.10.5[2] were just released. 0.10.5 is a > maintenance release with several critical fixes while 1.0.0 is the big > feature release we talked about in the past 2 years and a half, so I > recommend checking out the changelog and the huge list of API > cleanups[3].
