iText 7 relative column width no longer working starting iText 7.0.2

I am having problems setting relative column widths for a table in iText 7.0.4. I tried Bruno's example code from here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41428692/8804951. If I execute the example with iText 7.0.1 I get exactly the result from Bruno's answer:

PDF created with iText 7.0.1

but for later versions the result looks like this:

PDF created with iText 7.0.2

The original example on the iText web page does not seem to reflect this change in behaviour yet.

This worked for me for setting the column width in itext-7.1.3 ., you can try this.

Table content = new Table(UnitValue.createPercentArray(new float[]{3,5,10}));
content.setWidth(UnitValue.createPercentValue(100));
content.setFixedLayout();

The table layout algoritm changed in version 7.0.2 as is stated in the API docs (http://itextsupport.com/apidocs/itext7/latest/com/itextpdf/layout/element/Table.html#Table-float:A-boolean-). The simplest solution is to add a second parameter with the value true to the constructor of Table:

Table htable = new Table(new float[] {3, 8, 5, 10, 5, 10, 30}, true);

The one-parameter version of the constructor now takes absolute column widths in points.
