Poppler 0.10.0 release

Available from
http://poppler.freedesktop.org/poppler-0.10.0.tar.gz

Differences with latest stable series (0.8.7) are quite interesting, you can see them all at the Poppler 0.9 Releases list of http://poppler.freedesktop.org/releases.html.

As a summary it includes:
* Initial JavaScript support
* JPEG2000 decoder based on OpenJPEG
* Some crash fixes
* Better support of malformed files
* Some rendering improvements

So you should be all using Poppler 0.10 now to get a better PDF experience ;-)

    is there a possibility to disable the JS support (for security reasons)?

    No, Poppler does not execute any JavaScript, only makes it accessible to programs, so your valid concern should be expressed to programs using the library, not to the library itself
