  <title>FOP 0.91 beta</title>
  <p>
    This is the second release after the big redesign effort. FOP 0.91 beta is mostly a bug
    fix release but also contains some new features.
  </p>
  <p>
    We would like to encourage you to download the code and to play with it. 
    We're still in the process of adding new major features and stabilizing 
    the code. We welcome any feedback you might have and even more, any
    other form of help to get the project forward.
  </p>
  <p>Caveats:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>
      This release is an beta release. If you intend to use this software in a production
      environment, please perform careful testing.
    </li>
    <li>
      The API is not to be considered stable, yet. Please be prepared 
      for the API to be changed in a backwards-incompatible way.
    </li>
    <li>
      You may experience different behaviour compared to version 0.20.5.
      Please consult the <a href="0.91/upgrading.html">"Upgrading"</a> page indicated above for details.

  <p>Known Issues:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>
      PCL, MIF and SVG support have not been restored, yet.

    <li>
      Auto table layout is not implemented, yet.
    </li>
    <li>

      use border-collapse="separate" for now.
    </li>
    <li>
      Footnotes may overlap with text of the region-body in multi-column 
      documents.
    </li>
    <li>
      Space resolution does not work between footnote regions.
    </li>
    <li>
      There's a problem involving nested block-containers and 
      reference-orientation 180/-180 (<a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36391">Bugzilla #36391</a>)
    </li>
    <li>
      block-containers with no height currently don't create a fence for
      spaces as they should (they behave like a normal block).
    </li>
    <li>
      Preserved linefeeds in fo:character are not handled correctly.
    </li>
    <li>
      Zero-width spaces are not handled correctly.
    </li>
    <li>
      An empty block currently produces a fence for stacking constraints
      which it shouldn't.
    </li>
    <li>
      There are several small problems around white space handling.
    </li>
    <li>
      Images currently don't shrink so they fit on a page when they are 
      too big and shrinking is allowed to happen.
    </li>
    <li>
      Block-level content in fo:inlines may produce unwelcome results.
    </li>
    <li>
      inline-container may not work as expected.
    </li>
    <li>
      letter-spacing and word-spacing properties may not work as expected.
    </li>
    <li>
      leaders with leader-pattern="use-content" may not work as expected.
    </li>
    <li>
      keep-with-previous doesn't work inside tables and lists, yet.
    </li>
    <li>
      White space on direct inline-level children of a marker is not 
      handled correctly.
    </li>
    <li>
      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.
    </li>
    <li>
      background-images on page-number-citations are not placed correctly.
    </li>
    <li>
      Not all FO elements can be referenced by their "id", most notably:
      table-body, table-header, table-footer and table-row.
    </li>
    <li>
      The backgrounds of table-body, table-header, table-footer and 
      table-column are not painted, yet.
    </li>
    <li>
      Border and padding conditionality are not supported on table-cells, yet.
    </li>
    <li>
      Copy/Paste from PDF content in Acrobat Reader is not supported for
      text using embedded TrueType fonts.
    </li>
    <li>
      Column balancing in multi-column documents may not work as expected
      (<a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36356">Bugzilla #36356</a>)
    </li>
    <li>
      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 (<a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35656">Bugzilla #35656</a>).
    </li>
    <li>
      Leaders with the "rule" pattern don't work for PostScript output.
