JSignPdf_3_0_0-BETA-7

Version 3.0.0

Major release with a brand-new desktop UI and modernized Windows
packaging.

Highlights

• New JavaFX GUI — a document-centric desktop experience with PDF
  preview, drag-to-place visible signatures, zoom/page navigation,
  drag-and-drop PDF loading, progress indication, and a collapsible
  side panel for signing options. The legacy Swing UI remains available
  as a fallback via -Djsignpdf.swing=true. Encrypted PDFs are now
  handled properly in the preview/signing flow.
• New Windows installers built with jpackage — replacing the old
  InnoSetup + Launch4j + Ant + Wine toolchain. Each release now ships
  three Windows x64 artifacts: an EXE installer, an MSI installer, and
  a portable ZIP with a bundled JRE. 32-bit Windows is no longer
  supported (Temurin no longer ships 32-bit JDKs); 32-bit and
  Linux/macOS users can still use the cross-arch jsignpdf-<VERSION>.zip
  with their own JRE.
• Java 21 is now the minimum runtime. The jpackage Windows
  installers and the Flatpak bundle ship their own Java 21 runtime, so
  they are unaffected; users of the platform-independent
  jsignpdf-<VERSION>.zip now need a Java 21 (or newer) JRE on PATH.
• Named signature-setting presets (#360) — save an arbitrary number
  of signing configurations under custom names and switch between them
  from a toolbar combo or the new Presets menu (save as new, rename,
  overwrite, delete). If Store passwords is enabled when a preset is
  saved, the preset also captures the signing passwords encrypted with
  the same machine-local seed used for the main config; the encrypted
  values are silently ignored when a preset file is loaded on a
  different user account, and disabling Store passwords before saving
  omits the password keys entirely (recommended before sharing a preset
  file).
• Configuration has moved to a platform-appropriate XDG-aware
  location ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jsignpdf/ on Linux, %APPDATA%\JSignPdf\
  on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/JSignPdf/ on macOS);
  existing ~/.JSignPdf settings are migrated automatically on first
  run. Override with JSIGNPDF_CONFIG_DIR for portable installs.

Other changes

• Read passwords from standard input (#7). Any of the six password
  CLI options (-ksp, -kp, -opwd, -upwd, -tscp, -tsp) can now
  be given as - to read the value from stdin (or, in an interactive
  terminal, from the console with no-echo). Opt in with
  --enable-stdin-passwords; multiple passwords are consumed in a fixed
  canonical order printed on stderr before each read. Avoids leaking
  secrets to /proc/<pid>/cmdline and shell history.
• "Reset Settings" action added to the JavaFX UI.
• Append signature and Store passwords checkboxes are now checked by
  default on a fresh install (previously both defaulted to unchecked).
  Existing preferences are unchanged.
• New and updated translations (Czech, German, French, Spanish, Slovak,
  Portuguese, Croatian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and
  more — thanks to all Weblate contributors).
• Translation bundles (messages*.properties) are now stored in UTF-8,
  simplifying contributions in non-Latin scripts.
• Per-version release notes files are now attached as the GitHub
  Release body.
• User guide restructured around the new JavaFX UI, with a shared
  UI-agnostic "Signing options" reference chapter and a small
  Swing-for-backward-compatibility subsection.
• Improved symlink handling, including macOS (#168).
• Integration tests added for the PDF signing pipeline (#293).
• Moved publishing from OSSRH to Maven Central.
• Migrated the PDF engine from the legacy OpenPDF 1.x line
  (com.lowagie.text.*) to OpenPDF 3 (org.openpdf.text.*), updated
  PDFBox to 3.0.7, and bumped BouncyCastle to 1.84.
• Numerous dependency and GitHub Actions updates.

and feedback!

• New Linux Flatpak bundle — releases now ship a single-file
