This wednesday i'll release Poppler 0.56 (if all goes according to plan).
Then around 20 July (may get delayed since that day starts the KDE yearly
conference) i'll release Poppler 0.57.
My plan is just after doing the 0.57 release merging the better_object branch
to master so it gets released with Poppler 0.28 around 20 August.
I'm almost convinced there will be some regression since the code diff is
*huge*, but i'm also convinced it gives us a much nicer API to work with, in
particular for "non hardcore contributors", see the missing free() in the
patch at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99271 so in the long run
we end up winning.
This means you have two months since now until a version with the
better_object code gets released, please review the branch as soon as
possible.
Cheers,
Albert
