Hello all,
I'm preparing a new version of iText that will be release tomorrow. This 
will be the last release before we make some significant changes: 
removing BouncyCastle from iText; and use BouncyCastle from a separate 
jar. Reason: we need more BouncyCastle functionality to implement 
Certificate encryption.
This is the changelog of the release that will be made tomorrow:

# Changes made by Paulo

* AcroFields: MAXLEN was not being applied to the display value.
* Bugfix: AES encryption could fail with an incorrect length calculation.
* Bugfix: the key NeedAppearances in AcroForm must be deleted when signing.

# Changes made by Bruno

* Added AES support in class PdfEncryptor.
* Added support for PDF packages in PdfStamper (code contribution by 
Leonard Rosenthol)
* When using Graphics2D binary images will now be stored as G4 
compressed images (instead of RGB); patch provided by Robert Engels.
* Bugfix: on some occasions small invisible chunks with font Helvetica 
were inserted breaking PDF/X compliancy.
* Bugfix: when switching fonts, a space character was sometimes inserted 
at the start of a new line.
* Bugfix: I finally fixed the newPage() problem caused by class Table.
* Bugfix: a blank page problem caused by class PdfPTable (when using 
setExtendLastRow(true)) was fixed.
* Bugfix: the indentation of paragraphs was wrong when adding a 
PdfPTable to a Paragraph.
* Bugfix: the indentation of chapters/sections was wrong when adding a 
PdfPTable to a Chapter/Section.
* Bugfix: I solved a null problem in TreeViewPDF
* Replacement of the image icons in TreeViewPDF and translation of some 
German words to English.

The problem with TreeViewPDF reported by Iliad Yan, was caused by a 
NullPointerException; the new PDF package support for PdfStamper was 
sent to me by Leonard (and is already available in CVS).

If you think something is missing, now is the time to speak ;-)
br,
Bruno
