Prawn is a pure Ruby PDF generation library that aims to make low level PDF generation tasks easy. It is currently under active development, and could be considered somewhere between alpha and beta quality software. You might be able to use it in production, but then again, you might not. If that doesn’t deter you, and you’re willing to roll up your sleeves to help fill in the gaps, read on.

Keeping Track of Changes.

Prawn changes rapidly, and API compatibility may break on every major release. Though this is described in detail in the roadmap, the short story is that you’re expected to read the CHANGELOG on every new release, large or small.

If you are looking for more real-time info, you should keep an eye on the Prawn mailing list, and watch us here on Github. We do not have an official policy about notifying users of breaking changes on the bleeding edge, but you’re welcome to ask questions as you see new things shaping up.
