If you encounter problems, or wish to make suggestions, please add them to the project’s GitHub issue tracker (https://github.com/veraPDF/veraPDF-library/issues).
This release marks the one year point since veraPDF first began the design phase in November 2014. The next release will include release candidates of all eight PDF/A validation profiles. Further details are outlined in our development roadmap (http://verapdf.org/roadmap/).
