| Summary : Next version after PDF::API2
|
Description :
\'PDF::API3\' is the beginning of a rewrite of \'PDF::API2\'.
The purpose of this slightly modified version is to announce intensions for
a rewrite, hopefully spawn participation, and to utilize cpan-RT for
tracking bugs/fixes and wishlists/implementations.
After much time, effort, and with well received results, Alfred Reibenschuh
is abandoning \'PDF::API2\'. see the
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/perl-text-pdf-modules/message/3615
manpage.
However we have seen great progress in moving towards paperless methods.
Furthermore the PDF specification is now an ISO standard.
Now is the time to really push forward with the development of an even
better perl pdf solution.
This is a beginning toward that goal.
This version starts with \'PDF::API2\' 0.73, creating a new interfaced named
\'PDF::API3\' with a new version numbering starting at 3.001.
There are a growing number of PDF \"quick solutions\". It is hoped that
\'PDF::API3\' can coalesce many under one library. There is commonality that
all \"quick solutions\" will need: find, open, read, write, parse files.
The intent is to provide a universal library for which other \"solutions\"
may utilize for lower level functionality. As such, all PDF::API2 modules
have been re-named as \'PDF::API3::Compat::API2\'.
The intent is that the interface at the \'API2\' level will stay the same.
As the library is refactored, a new \'API3\' interface will be formulated.
Low level functionality will be factored into \'PDF::API3::Lib\'. The typical
programmer interface will be factored under \'PDF::API3\'. The typical
programmer interface would utilized the lower level routines of
\'PDF::API3::Lib\'.
Other PDF libraries may be incorporated as \'PDF::API3::Compat::distA\',
\'PDF::API3::Compat::distB\', \'PDF::API3::Compat::distC\', etc. As these are
refactored to utilize or generalize \'PDF::API3::Lib\', their typical
programmer interface will move under \'PDF::API3\' if general, or may be spun
off as \'PDF::API3x\' extensions
The intent is to use git and encourage distributed development. A git and
wiki will be put up soon.
Development philosophy includes development of lots of tests, tidy\'ing and
critic utilities, and utlization of Moose and other libraries that will
speed development and provide a clean, solid, easily maintained, production
ready system. And to develop appropriate programmer and maintenance
documentation. Yes - maintenance of how it works and why choices were made
so as to ease maintenance of it by others.
The intent of putting this release out is to inform the community of the
effort, encourage others to participate, and to utilize the bug tracking
system of CPAN for tracking bugs and new development.
Consider this pre-alpha software.
