Version 3.0.0

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

Highlights

  • New JavaFX GUI — document-centric desktop experience with PDF preview, drag-to-place visible signatures, zoom/page navigation, drag-and-drop loading, and a collapsible options panel. The legacy Swing UI remains available via -Djsignpdf.swing=true.
  • New Windows installers built with jpackage (EXE, MSI, and a portable ZIP with bundled JRE), replacing the old InnoSetup + Launch4j + Ant + Wine toolchain. 32-bit Windows is no longer supported; 32-bit and Linux/macOS users can still use the cross-platform jsignpdf-<VERSION>.zip with their own JRE.
  • New Linux Flatpak bundle — single-file JSignPdf-<VERSION>-linux-x86_64.flatpak with a bundled OpenJDK 21, desktop entry, and icon.
  • Java 21 is now the minimum runtime. The jpackage installers and Flatpak ship their own runtime; users of the cross-platform ZIP need a Java 21+ JRE on PATH.
  • Named signature-setting presets (#360) — save signing configurations under custom names and switch between them from a toolbar combo or the new Presets menu. Passwords are captured (machine-local encrypted) only when Store passwords is enabled; disable it before sharing a preset file.
  • Configuration moved to XDG-aware locations ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jsignpdf/, %APPDATA%\JSignPdf\, ~/Library/Application Support/JSignPdf/); existing ~/.JSignPdf settings migrate automatically. Override with JSIGNPDF_CONFIG_DIR. The install-dir conf/ is gone — edit advanced settings via File > Preferences…; PKCS#11 config is read from a fixed <config-dir>/pkcs11.cfg.

Other changes

  • Read passwords from stdin (#7). Pass - for any of -ksp, -kp, -opwd, -upwd, -tscp, -tsp (opt in with --enable-stdin-passwords) to avoid leaking secrets via /proc/<pid>/cmdline or shell history.
  • Append signature and Store passwords now default to checked on fresh installs.
  • "Reset Settings" action added to the JavaFX UI.
  • Translation bundles are now UTF-8; many language updates from Weblate contributors.
  • Migrated the PDF engine to OpenPDF 3 (org.openpdf.text.*), updated PDFBox to 3.0.7, BouncyCastle to 1.84.
  • Improved symlink handling incl. macOS (#168); integration tests for the signing pipeline (#293); publishing moved to Maven Central.

Thanks to everyone who contributed code, translations, bug reports, and feedback!
