Unable to compile 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.11' in Android Studio with Gradle

Question

Defining the dependency of the version 5.5.10:

dependencies {
  ...
  compile 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.10'
}

works fine.

But 5.5.11 or 5.5.12 do not compile.

Has this been released yet? If not, any idea when it may be?

Answer 1

I am QA & release engineer at iText Software, and I am possibly best placed to answer this question. iTextG 5.5.11 and 5.5.12 have not yet been released. That is in the backlog, and not yet planned. It certainly won't happen this month.

Are there any changes in 5.5.11 or 5.5.12 that you urgently need? Because they are bugfix releases, without any new features, and if you are not affected by the fixed bugs, then there is no need to upgrade. See iText changelogs for more details (on the iText website, or the git log on GitHub).
