Last week we released iText 5.1.1® and XMLWorker 1.0.0
XMLWorker 1.0.0 is the first version of the XMLWorker that creates decent PDFs for HTML without absolute positioning. It’s ideal to parse small snippets of HTML/CSS to PDF. I’d like to ask every one who’s using it to give feedback/ask question if you have a question on the mailinglist and/or report bugs on the sourceforge tracker. The development of the XMLWorker is not in an end phase so we still need your input!
In iText there were some bugs fixed, also thanks to things we discovered with creating the XMLWorker. Check the release notes here.
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.
