Hello, everybody!

As of today, PDFsharp 6.2 Preview 1 is available.

You can find the source code on github.com:
https://github.com/empira/PDFsharp

You can find binaries (assemblies) on NuGet.

Note: On NuGet there are Core, GDI, and WPF packages.

The six new preview NuGet packages:

All packages target .NET 6 and .NET 8 and can also be used with .NET 7 or .NET 9.
The Core packages also target .NET Standard 2.0 and should work with all compatible platforms including Windows and Linux.
The GDI and WPF packages also target .NET 4.6.2 and can also be used with higher versions like 4.7.2 or 4.8.1, but depend on Windows.

Samples can be found on GitHub:
https://github.com/empira/PDFsharp.Samples

Changes since 6.1.1 Final:
  • Targets .NET 8 and .NET 4.6.2
  • Digital signatures
  • Colored emojis
  • Limited support for PDF/A (still under construction)

Changes since 6.1.0-Preview-3:
  • Improved image handling, eventually leads to smaller PDF files
  • Other bug fixes

Changes since 6.1.0-Preview-2:

  • Other bug fixes

Changes since 6.1.0-Preview-1:

  • Several other bug fixes

Changes versus PDFsharp 1.5:
  • Uses .NET 6.0 and .NET Standard 2.0 or .NET 6.0 and .NET 4.7.2
  • Core build can be used under Windows, Linux, and all other platforms where .NET 6 is running on.
  • People using PDFsharp Core 1.5 should consider switching to PDFsharp-GDI 6 to get similar functionality
  • MigraDoc table rendering got faster again.
