[poppler] Fwd: ANNOUNCE: Xpdf 3.03 - a PDF viewer for X

[Albert Astals Cid]

My plan for this.

Release 0.18 following the schedule posted a few days ago.

After 0.18 instead of a 6 months release do a short (maybe 2 month?) release 
which includes only merging what we can from xpdf 3.03.

Comments?

> Glyph & Cog, LLC is pleased to announce a new version of Xpdf, the
> open source Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer for X.  The Xpdf
> project also includes a PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript
> converter, and various other utilities.
> 
> Xpdf runs under the X Window System on Unix, VMS, and OS/2.  The non-X
> components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems and
> should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler.
> 
> Major changes:
> * Added the "fixed pitch" text extraction mode.
> * Modified "pdftops -paper match" to handle PDF files with
>  different-sized pages, i.e., it will now select the matching paper
>  size on a page-by-page basis.
> * Add ability for pdftoppm to write to stdout.
> * Added the pdfdetach tool.
> * Implemented 256-bit AES decryption.
> * Commented out the t1lib section in the configure script -- t1lib has
>  some potential security holes, and hasn't been updated in years.
> * Redesigned the font configuration xpdfrc commands: removed the
>  displayFontT1, displayFontTT, displayNamedCIDFontT1,
>  displayCIDFontT1, displayNamedCIDFontTT, displayCIDFontTT, psFont,
>  psNamedFont16, and psFont16 commands; added the fontFile,
>  fontFileCC, psResidentFont, psResidentFont16, and psResidentFontCC
>  commands.
> * Switched from GPLv2 to dual v2/v3 licensing.
> 
> See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list of changes.
> 
> Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to
> compile for UNIX, VMS, OS/2, and Win32.

> More information, source code, and precompiled binaries are on the
