[Koha-devel] Pending PDF::Reuse Release And Koha

[Christopher Nighswonger]

Ok. I've pushed up PDF::Reuse 0.36 to CPAN, and opened bug 13407 to
take care of the related code in Koha. Hopefully this brings about 5
years of waiting to a successful conclusion.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the testing.

Kind Regards,
Chris
