    • Corrections and simplifications with respect to the move to Java 5
    • PdfDocument: introduced an inner class Destination to clarify named destinations

    • PdfPKCS7: The CRLs are extracted from the right place: the signed attribute.
    • PdfPKCS7: Stricter search for the signing certificate.

    • Additional utility method for previewing pdf content.

    • Bug fix - In some circumstances, lines were duplicated when splitting rows in a PdfPTable
    • Bug fix - Chunks that are separators should have 0 width.
    • Pdf2Afm: small fix for euro-symbol (Marcus Thiesen); fix for descender (Christopher Petro)
