(For reminder those guys who are interested in this project to subscribe the new mail lists, cc to several addresses. Sorry for interrupt.)
ODF Toolkit move to Apache 1. The mail lists are ready. We will be shutting down the ODF Toolkit Union's mailing lists soon. So we urge you to subscribe to the new list now. (1)odf-...@incubator.apache.org is the main development list for the project. You can subscribe by sending an email to odf-dev-subscr...@incubator.apache.org (2)odf-us...@incubator.apache.org is where users of the toolkit can ask questions, discuss uses of the toolkit, give feedback, propose new features, etc. You can subscribe by sending an email to odf-users-subscr...@incubator.apache.org. 2. Discuss moving the code base from Mercurial to svn. We hope to keep the patch history information. A shell script can help us do this, while necessary tests are needed before application. 3. Discuss moving wiki and website. We need to learn Markdown syntax and Apache CMS. Simple ODF According to some users'request, we released version 0.6.6 last Friday. The improvements in this version include: (1) Two critical bugs in Navigation API and 9 other issues are fixed; (2) Page columns, a page layout feature in text document, are now supported; (3) Unit test coverage rate increased. This work improves the stability of our API. ODFDOM 1. Does the cryptographic software export control of US is a risk? (1) JDK has passed the examine according to limited password length. For example, if use password in PKCS#12 is greater than 7 characters, you may need to download and install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files. Without these files, you may encounter an "Illegal Key Size" Error when accessing PKCS#12 files. (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) (2) The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception for both object code and source code. (http://pdfbox.apache.org/download.html#pdfbox) 2. The owner of XDocReport would like to contribute the sources of the ODFDOMConverter project to us. (1) The issue is ODFDOMConverter uses iText. iText's licence is AGPL, not compatible with Apache 2.0. (2) They would like to use PDFBox to replace iText and have contacted PDFBox to discuss the possibility.
