<title>Wish list</title>
<p>
Apache FOP is easily extensible and allows you to add new output formats to enhance FOP's functionality. There's a number of output formats
which are on our wish list. We're looking for volunteers to help us implement them.

<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Function_Presentation">AFP (Advanced Function Presentation)</a>:
The renderer has already been built and is in the process of being brought into the Apache FOP codebase.
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument">ODF (Open Document Format)</a>:
The standardized successor to OpenOffice's file format.

There have been changes to the end-user API between 0.91 beta and 0.92 beta. With version 0.92,
the API is now considered stable. Some methods have been deprecated and will be removed with
the next release. If you upgrade from 0.91 beta, you will need to adjust your Java code.

By looking at the <a href="../compliance.html">Compliance page</a> you might get the impression
that the new code is much more advanced than version 0.20.5. That's true but there are still
a few things that may not be handled as gracefully by the new code as by version 0.20.5.

So, please evaluate carefully before messing up your production environment! Actually we do
recommend against using the FOP development version in a production system.
