Version 0.92 beta |
|
|
|
--------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We don't list all the changes since the 0.20.5 release, since the codebase |
|
|
|
was practically rewritten in large areas as part of a big redesign effort. |
|
|
|
This is basically a new software. But the changes since 0.90 alpha 1 can be |
|
|
|
looked up under http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/changes.html. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading from 0.20.5: |
|
|
|
Please read http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/latest/upgrading.html |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Apache FOP team asks you for your continued feedback on the new software. |
|
|
|
We're also interested in success stories with the new release. So if the |
|
|
|
latest version works fine for you, please tell us! And if it doesn't, you |
|
|
|
may tell us as well, of course. ;-) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Caveats: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- This release is a beta release. If you intend to use this software |
|
|
|
in a production environment, please perform careful testing. |
|
|
|
- With the latest changes, the API is now considered stable. Please |
|
|
|
note that the API has changed in a backwards-incompatible way since |
|
|
|
the last release. |
|
|
|
- You may experience different behaviour compared to version 0.20.5. |
|
|
|
Please consult the "Upgrading" page indicated above for details. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known issues: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- PCL, MIF and SVG support have not been restored, yet. |
|
|
|
- Java2D/AWT support contains some problems, for example with |
|
|
|
block-containers. |
|
|
|
- Auto table layout is not implemented, yet. |
|
|
|
- The collapsing border model on tables is not implemented, yet. Please |
|
|
|
use border-collapse="separate" for now. |
|
|
|
- Footnotes may overlap with text of the region-body in multi-column |
|
|
|
documents. |
|
|
|
- Space resolution does not work between footnote regions. |
|
|
|
- There's a problem involving nested block-containers and |
|
|
|
reference-orientation 180/-180 (Bugzilla #36391) |
|
|
|
- block-containers with no height currently don't create a fence for |
|
|
|
spaces as they should (they behave like a normal block). |
|
|
|
- Preserved linefeeds in fo:character are not handled correctly. |
|
|
|
- An empty block currently produces a fence for stacking constraints |
|
|
|
which it shouldn't. |
|
|
|
- There are several small problems around white space handling. |
|
|
|
- Images currently don't shrink so they fit on a page when they are |
|
|
|
too big and shrinking is allowed to happen. |
|
|
|
- Block-level content in fo:inlines may produce unwelcome results. |
|
|
|
- inline-container may not work as expected. |
|
|
|
- leaders with leader-pattern="use-content" may not work as expected. |
|
|
|
- keep-with-previous doesn't work inside tables and lists, yet. |
|
|
|
- White space on direct inline-level children of a marker is not |
|
|
|
handled correctly. |
|
|
|
- If two consecutive pages don't have the same available width, the |
|
|
|
content currently isn't properly fit into the available space on |
|
|
|
the new page. |
|
|
|
- background-images on page-number-citations are not placed correctly. |
|
|
|
- Not all FO elements can be referenced by their "id", most notably: |
|
|
|
table-body, table-header, table-footer and table-row. |
|
|
|
- The backgrounds of table-body, table-header, table-footer and |
|
|
|
table-column are not painted, yet. |
|
|
|
- Border and padding conditionality are not supported on table-cells, yet. |
|
|
|
- Copy/Paste from PDF content in Acrobat Reader is not supported for |
|
|
|
text using embedded TrueType fonts. |
|
|
|
- Column balancing in multi-column documents may not work as expected |
|
|
|
(Bugzilla #36356) |
|
|
|
- Omitting fo:table-column or having fo:table-column without a column-width |
|
|
|
and attempting to create columns implicitly from the first |
|
|
|
table row is not implemented, yet (Bugzilla #35656). |
|
|
|
- Internal basic-links don't point to the exact location on a page, yet, |
|
|
|
as they did in 0.20.5. Currently you land in the upper left corner of |
|
|
|
the page. |
|
|
|
Version 0.93 |

|
|
============ |
|
|

This is the first production grade release of the new FOP codebase. |
|
|

|
|
|

|
---------- |
|

This release implements the XSL 1.0 and 1.1 recommendations to a high |
|
|
|
degree of compliance. See the compliance page |
|
|
|
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html for a detailed |
|
|
|
overview. |

Major Changes in Version 0.93 |
|
|
|
----------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added support for the use of Open Type fonts (BD) |
|
|
|
* Support for the rgb-icc() function and for a proprietary cmyk() |
|
|
|
function (for device CMYK colors only through the PDF renderer so |
|
|
|
far). (JM) Thanks to Peter Coppens. Fixes 40729. |
|
|
|
* Enabled Copy/Paste from PDF content in Acrobat Reader for |
|
|
|
text using embedded TrueType fonts. (BD) Thanks to Adam Strzelecki, |
|
|
|
Victor Mote. Fixes 5535. |
|
|
|
* Added support for PDF/A-1b and PDF/X-3:2003. (Note: this may still |
|
|
|
be a bit incomplete. Feedback is welcome!) |
|
|
|
* The Java2DRenderer (and therefore the print and bitmap renderers) is |
|
|
|
now offering the same quality as the PDF and PS renderers. Note: |
|
|
|
There can still be little differences between PDF and Print/PNG/TIFF |
|
|
|
because the latter uses a different font metrics source. |
|
|
|
* Automatic support for all fonts available to the Java2D subsystem |
|
|
|
for all Java2D-descendant renderers (TIFF, PNG, print, AWT). |
