Redlab's explorations and findings of the whole wide world
Next week we’ll release XMLWorker 1.0.0.
We think it’s ready enough to call it a 1.0.0 (which is only a number but… still marks kind of a milestone in the project.). We will also release an new iText version (5.1.1) there are some small bugs fixed and XMLWorker 1.0.0 will only work from iText 5.1.1 on.
The previous release 0.9.2 was an early bird view. A lot has changed since last month. The major changes are:
Mailinglist mails on itext-questions
Sometimes we receive things like:
Dear all, Fedora packagers have one big problem. The code is licensing on AGPL for all this project? regards
By Gossling, they have only 1 big problem, they are lucky !
How do we react to that… saying yes it’s AGPL. And saying they are lucky to have only one problem. The problem isn’t even explained.
Do I care that Fedora packagers have problem? no not really. I even wonder why the hell they want to package iText® in a linux distro. It’s a Java library, application deployers/developers add it to their lib folder or application server library folder, (or even add it through OSGI now). I’ve never used in linux distro embeded java libraries. I add them myself (preferably with maven) then I know what has been added.
We’ve released a new version of iText. Version 5.1
