I see that they have released 2.0 lately, but can't find any dates, nor the improvements over 1.x. Is this the news? A press release would be better, probably.

I see that they have released 2.0 lately, but can't find any dates, nor the improvements over 1.x. Is this the news? A press release would be better, probably. It's not [Show HN], it's an established Apache project, so I don't get what the news is here.
- alricb 11y agoTheir "Migration Guide" [1] contains a list of improvements. They should probably add a date to their pages, but reading their mailing list the release is at most a few days old. [1]: http://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/migration.html http://pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/migration.html
- laumars 11y agoThe download pages do have dates, albeit you have to hunt to find them: http://mirror.vorboss.net/apache/pdfbox/ http://mirror.vorboss.net/apache/pdfbox/ [DIR] 1.8.11/ 2016-01-17 21:55 - [DIR] 2.0.0/ 2016-03-18 12:02 -

- LoSboccacc 11y agoI've used that at the startup I work, had to move from 1.x to 2.0 because the font support is miles better. Don't know about other minor improvements. Eventually we switched to https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/ https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/ because it makes for a much smoother experience overall for our use case (import pdfs into a lookbook, is a webapp for designer)
- pierrec 11y agoWhile it's interesting to look for the latest changes in this project, even if there were none, it would still be a very valid submission since HN isn't specifically a news website. In fact, I see so many "what's the news" posts that I sometimes think they should change the name!
