Hi all,

A few weeks/months back libpoppler 0.18 got released. The version we

have in Debian (running sid) is 0.16.7 which was released in Jun 2011.

Please see  http://poppler.freedesktop.org/releases.html .

Subsequently a wishlist bug was filed.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=644447 . If one sees

the bug then one can see Mr. Martin Pitt sharing debdiffs for

libpoppler when they are doing the same for ubuntu.

Now during that time-frame I have been seeing various errors while

viewing pdf's which I did suspect were due to the library being old.

The latest victims though is the Open Advice e-book.  Please see

https://github.com/lydiapintscher/Open-Advice/issues/41

I tried to see if the maintainer Monsieur Loic Minier had asked for

transition but was unable to find anything of value.

I know that in couple of months (or a little more) we would be looking

at Freeze. Is there possibility of getting a fresh release in soonish

?

Looking forward to know more.
