Hi all,

JSignPdf 3.2.0 is out:
https://github.com/intoolswetrust/jsignpdf/releases/tag/JSignPdf_3_2_0

Highlights:

- Sign into an existing signature field. If a document politely pre-places a
  box for each signer, JSignPdf now signs into it instead of stamping a fresh
  field on top and pretending it didn't notice. Pick it in the Signature
  Appearance panel, or --sig-field on the CLI (--list-sig-fields tells you
  what a document is offering).
- Add a document timestamp without signing anything at all. No key, no
  certificate, just a trusted point in time - or a refreshed PAdES B-LTA
  archive timestamp before its TSA certificate retires. Requested on New
  Year's Day 2023, delivered only three and a bit years later, which by
  open-source standards is practically same-day service.
- A live preview of the visible signature: text and background image rendered
  inside the rectangle while you drag it around, pages rasterized at 300 DPI,
  and empty signature fields shaded so you can finally see where the form
  author hid them.
- PSS-only certificates now sign on PKCS#11 tokens instead of explaining, at
  length, that the SignatureAlgorithm does not match. eIDAS qualified
  certificates increasingly ship this way, so this one was going to find you
  eventually.

Also in the box: a debug mode that logs the certificate chain and every
AIA/CRL/OCSP request (for when "it doesn't work" needs more detail), an output
directory field, a UI language selector, and buffering.mode=temp so very large
PDFs no longer require negotiating with the JVM heap.

No changed defaults this time. Last release used up our quota.

Thanks to Ladislav Nemec for the preview, placement and output workflow work,
Alex Kay for the DSS background image layering and text auto-scaling, and to
all the translators who keep 18 languages ahead of my habit of adding new
strings.

Josef
