+ FOP 0.20.5 +

This is the last planed release in the 0.20.x series (aka maintenance branch).

Important changes since the last release (0.20.4):

Documentation is done with + Forrest. You need to install Forrest if you want build the docs + yourself. (See + Using Forrest) +
The following JARs have been updated: + Xerces to version 2.2.1, Xalan to version 2.4.1 and Batik to version 1.5beta4. +
Fop has been compiled with Jimi support this time but you still have to download + Jimi, extract the archive, + copy JimiProClasses.zip to FOP's lib dir and rename it to jimi-1.0.jar. +
Fop has been compiled with + JAI + support. For using JAI you just need to install it. +
Links in PDF won't generate multiple link rectangles anymore. If this causes + a problem you can set the system property "links.merge" to "no". +

Review the batch file fop.bat or the shell script fop.sh to see how FOP is invoked.

The standard scripts for starting FOP require that the environment variable JAVA_HOME be set to a path pointing to the appropriate Java installation on your system. Macintosh OSX includes a Java environment as part of its distribution. We are told by Mac OSX users that the path to use in this case is /Library/Java/Home. Caveat: We suspect that, as Apple releases new Java environments and as FOP upgrades the minimum Java requirements, the two will inevitably not match on some systems. Please see Java on Mac OSX FAQ for information as it becomes available.
