Not sure about: * The xpdf/poppler interface (this probably a prerequisite now?)

No. It's still too unstable and much too intrusive for an update of stable.

* The LFS support (status as 'bug' is disputable)

We need to fix the configure first. One bug that must to be fixed is inclusion of encrypted pdfs. Best Martin

Don't think so. At the very least, crashing in the middle of a run is not reasonable behavior.

In my opinion, the crash is the bug, not the inability to create large files: I consider that more of a "known limitation" (yes, I know the difference is vague). We have a patch for the crash (by Martin) already: detect the overflow, abort the run after a nice message. I definately do want that included, and it is a very small and portable check. Also, the LFS-enabling code needs support from autoconf, and is so far only tested on very few platforms. Better to do that testing in a release candidate for 1.50 laster, than to use a bugfix release for testing it now. Best wishes, Taco
