It's my pleasure to announce that I just uploaded rst2pdf 0.14 to the site at
http://rst2pdf.googlecode.com.

Rst2pdf is a program and a library to convert restructured text directly into
PDF using Reportlab.

It supports True Type and Type 1 font embedding, most raster and vector image
formats, source code highlighting, arbitrary text frames in a page, cascading
stylesheets, the full restructured text syntax and much, much more.

It also includes a sphinx extension so you can use it to generate PDFs from
documents built with Sphinx.

In case of problems, please report them in the Issue tracker
(http://code.google.com/p/rst2pdf/issues/list) or the mailing list
(http://groups.google.com/group/rst2pdf-discuss)

This release fixes several bugs and adds some minor features compared to
0.13.2. Here are some of the changes:

* Fixed Issue 197: Table borders were confusing.
* Fixed Issue 297: styles from default.json leaked onto other syntax
highlighting stylesheets.
* Fixed Issue 295: keyword replacement in headers/footers didn't work
if ###Page### and others was inside a table.

odd/even pages (good for headers/footers!)

* Documented extensions in the manual
* Better styling of bullets/items (Issue 289)
* Fixed Issue 290: don't fail on broken images

* Fixed Issue 284: Implemented production lists for sphinx
* Fixed Issue 165: Definition lists not properly indented inside
admonitions or tables.
