Release schedule 2.0.0
Hi,
i am using a snapshot version of pdfbox 2.0.0 for converting pdf's to
images. Is there already a time schedule for the release of this version ?
Regards,
Jan

Hi,
we are currently looking at coming up with a release date reviewing the issues we have and moving the ones we will not be targeting into subsequent releases.
This is the list of (currently) open issues targeted to be handled in 2.0 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX/fixforversion/12319281/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:version-issues-panel
If you feel there are issues you can help with yes please, let us know. The easiest would be to add a patch to the issue. If you can respect our coding conventions https://pdfbox.apache.org/codingconventions.html that would be great.
Feel free to ping me towards the end of the week if there is no progress.
BR

Another one, maybe easier: try installing "12 monkeys" for jpeg only.
See also PDFBOX-2128.

If you like debugging stuff:
Try PDFBOX-1740. This is a problem with tt font rendering.
Alternatively, try using Apache Batik to do whatebver they do with the
"ü" of Windows Verdana see if the same bug happens. If yes, open an
issue there, so that it is their problem to solve :)

The short answer is that we’re getting closer now, but the process is organic.
The long answer is that with regard to the APIs which I work on, we need the newer features to become stable before doing a release candidate. This is just a case of waiting a few weeks for new APIs to be used by people and for bugs to be opened against them on JIRA. This often results in breaking API changes being necessary to fix assumptions or design flaws. Right now this applies to, parsing, font embedding and forms.
Milestones for the trunk aren’t particularly helpful as we don’t and can’t offer any kind of stability and you’re always better off using the latest trunk - there are snapshot builds available already.
We’ve reached the point with 2.0 where most of the remaining issues and bugs probably fall into the “pdf expert” category. On the plus side we’re now down to under 70 open issues.

Great - looking forward to that. As an added benefit we are also learning a little bit how PDFBox is used. Might also give us the opportunity to provide some feedback to you. Especially John and Tilman are very knowledgable when it comes to rendering.

Yes, some of the PDF generating APIs are very new and new some testing, especially with regards to text. We're also missing some APIs for underlying PDF features such as transparency.

Hi Maruan,
i'll try to make a sample with some graphics2D-like rendering, is that
ok ? My interest is rendering maps as pdf.

Hi Maruan,
that's very good news, thank you ! At that rate i feel comfortable that
you are nearing a release (the exact date is not that important for me).
I have checked out the project and had a look at a couple of bugs, but
most of them are above my level of pdf expertise, i'm afraid. But
willing to learn :-)...

Hi,
as i did not get an answer, i assume there is no planning yet ? Would it
be possible to tag a version as release candidate or milestone instead ?
I would be willing to dedicate a small amount of time if that helps, but
the list of open issues for this version is daunting (100+). Please let
me know if there is anything i can help with (as a java programmer, not
a pdf specialist).
Btw, the product works fine for me, so thanks to all developers for
doing such a great job !!!
