[gentoo-dev] Stabilization of poppler-0.8

[gentoo-dev] Stabilization of poppler-0.8

Hi,
It won't be long before I ask for poppler-0.8 and -bindings to be 
stabilized. This will bump the soname for poppler and force a rebuild 
of all packages depending on it. I've opened a tracker bug at 
http://bugs.gentoo.org/235897 where you can add a comment or place a 
blocker bug if you want your app which depends on poppler to go stable 
with it, so we won't force people to rebuild the same packages twice.

Is 0.8 needed by something? We could also wait for Portage-2.2 and 
preserved-libs.

It's all-round better than 0.6.3, which is from December 2007. 
epdfviewer, evince and a bunch of other stuff uses it to render pdfs 
and a bunch of rendering bugs have been fixed since then.

So, it's not needed, but it would be a major improvement. And it's ripe 
for stabilization.
