We planned 1st september, but i'm not going to be around that weekend so we either release 30 august (5 days from now) or 3rd september (9 days from now)
I vote from 3rd september. I know Carlos wanted to introduce changes to glib and Pino to qt. Send them NOW! Also does anyone if Julien is around, we need him to have a look at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12013 and say if that is needed or if we can just remove the declaration from the .h Also there are two things i want to discuss: *** "unwrapping" of ff,fi, etc ligatures *** I don't want to do it, but that's only me, there seems to be lots of votes on the other direction, what do you, Carlos, Jeff, Pino, krh say? And any of the yes voters will send a patch? ;-) *** beign more lax about ending %%EOF *** Lately there seem to be some pdf around that do not end with %%EOF. That sucks as they break the check i introduced for %%EOF beign present and are not REAL pdf. This check is not really needed for "finished" files, but on kpdf/okular we have that handy "Check for file changes" that reloads the document once the file has changed (useful for latex people), the problem with that is that you know it changed, but not that it will not change anymore, so we often ended up reloading incomplete files that randomly crashed poppler. So i introduced the %%EOF check to avoid that. But it seems that is hurting us now, so we can remove the %%EOF check and try to improve poppler not to crash on incomplete documents or leave it that way and keep repeating our users that if it does not have an %%EOF it's not a PDF and that they should bug the producer not the consumer of the pdf file. Or any other suggestion? Albert _______________________________________________ poppler mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/poppler
