<title>FOP 0.20.5</title>
<p>This is the last planed release in the 0.20.x series (aka maintenance branch).</p>
<p>Important changes since the last release (0.20.4):</p>
<ul>
<li>Documentation is done with <link href="http://xml.apache.org/forrest/">
Forrest</link>. You need to install Forrest if you want build the docs
yourself. (See
<link href="http://xml.apache.org/forrest/your-project.html">Using Forrest</link>)
</li>
<li>The following JARs have been updated:
Xerces to version 2.2.1, Xalan to version 2.4.1 and Batik to version 1.5beta4.
</li>
<li>Fop has been compiled with Jimi support this time but you still have to download
<link href="http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/">Jimi</link>, extract the archive,
copy JimiProClasses.zip to FOP's lib dir and rename it to jimi-1.0.jar.
</li>
<li>Fop has been compiled with
<link href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/JAI">JAI</link>
support. For using JAI you just need to install it.
</li>
<li>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".

<p>Review the batch file fop.bat or the shell script fop.sh to see how FOP is invoked.</p>
<p>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 <code>/Library/Java/Home</code>. <strong>Caveat: </strong>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.
