Will this new feature be available in the next release 1.6.0 ?
By the way, do you know when the next release will be available ? I didn't find the information
Thank you for the response.

> This is a first version of a signing interface for pdfbox. There are some design issues i could not handle without rewriting too much of the code.
> Here we go:
> - incremental update support (tested for signatures with pdf/a compatibility), not compatible with encrypted documents nor with xref-streams
> - cos object improvment
>   -- COSString with ability to force writing hexbin for given string
>   -- COSBase with ability to write direct into a dictionary (that means if this is set, no indirect object will be wrote) (sry hard to explain what i mean, actualy needed for incremental update to lower the rate of indirect objects)
>   -- COSBase with ability to force writing object (this hook help the COSWriter write needed objects for inkremental update)
>   -- COSName added new names
>   -- COSDocument some getter and setter for handling new signature and incremental features
> - SignatureException with some exceptions for handling the bunch of new possible errors
> -Parser improvments
>   -- PDFParser saves now the position of the last startxref
>   -- VisualSignatureParser (hook for parsing visual signature templates) (it's only for prepared visualisation that should be merged with the document)
> -IO improvments
>   -- COSFilterInput helps to find the proper content that should be hashed / signed
>   -- COSStandardOutputStream is tricky, it helps the writer to jump to the right place in the document
>   -- COSWriter got some improvments for incremental update
>   -- COSWriterXRefEntry needed for incremental updates and writing the new Xref table
> - PDDocument
>  -- got a new method addSignature with the needed implementation (do the whole signature stuff)
>  -- cleanup
> - Fields and Annotations
>  -- PDSignature represent the signature dictionary 
>  -- PDSignatureFild / Annotation are the visible & unvisible signature representations
> - Signature Interface and options
>  -- SignatureInterface the interface that shall be implemented for proper signing
>  -- SignatureOptions, some additional options for signing
> Patch splited into pieces
> sry for spelling, didn't include a spellchecker for english.
