[reportlab-users] Announcement: rst2pdf 0.15 is out

[Roberto Alsina]

Version 0.15 of rst2pdf, a tool to generate PDFs from restructured text 
directly via reportlab is out at its site: http://rst2pdf.googlecode.com

Rst2pdf supports the full restructured text syntax and a few extensions (code-
block and math, for example). It can any TTF or Type1 font, and custom page
sizes, multiple frames per page, and much more.

Included is a sphinx extension, called pdfbuilder, that you can use to 
create PDFs from sphinx documents.

Rst2pdf has been used to typeset books, business documents and much more [1]_

Version 0.15 has several bugfixes and a couple of new features compared to 
0.14.2:

* Fixed Issue 315: crash when using an undefined class for 
  a list.
* Implemented Issue 279: images can be specified as URLs.
* Fixed Issue 313: new --fit-background-mode option.
* Fixed Issue 110: new --real-footnotes option (buggy).
* Fixed Issue 176: spacers larger than a page don't crash.
* Fixed Issue 65: References to Helvetica/Times when it was not used.
* Fixed Issue 310: added option linenos_offset to code blocks.
* Fixed Issue 309: style for blockquotes was not respected.
* Custom cover page support (related to Issue 157)
* Fixed Issue 305: support wildcards in image names
  and then use the best one available.
* Implemented Issue 298: counters
* Improved widow/orphan support for literal blocks
* Fixed Issue 304: Code blocks didn't respect fontSize in class.

Please try it out, and when you report the usual huge bug, there will be a 
0.15.1 out immediately ;-) [2]_
