    <release version="FOP Trunk">
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix" fixes-bug="38453">
        Bugfix: Text-decoration was not promoted if no text-decoration attribute was
        specified on a nested element.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="AD" type="add">
        Added support for the from-table-column() function.
        (Thanks to gerhard.oettl.at.oesoft.at for the inspiration.)
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix" fixes-bug="38397">
        Bugfix: Spanned cells could lead to an false error message about overlapping 
        cells and ultimately a NullPointerException.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix">
        Bugfix: Regions with non-standard names got ignored in RTF output leading to 
        missing headers and footers.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix">
        The RTF output now properly generates the "\landscape" flag for documents in 
        landscape orientation.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix">
        Following a clarification by the XSL FO SG, space traits are only set on the 
        first and last area generated by an FO, and not on every area anymore.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="add">
        New feature: "Intermediate format" (IF). The IF is basically the XML dialect
        written by the area tree renderer (XMLRenderer). A new parser for this format
        allows reparsing a serialized and possibly modified area tree and rendering it
        to the final target format.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix">
        Bugfix: Floating point numbers were not properly formatted in the PDF renderer
        which could lead to error messages while opening a PDF in Acrobat Reader.
      </action>
      <action  context="Code" dev="SP" type="update" fixes-bug="38098"

        Bugfix: Spans that end up with a negative height don't get swallowed anymore.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="MM" type="add" fixes-bug="36729">
        Relative URLs for the font configuration attributes metrics-url and embed-url
        are now supported. A new configuration property font-base has been added. It
        sets the base URL against which relative font URLs are resolved. If font-base is
        not set base is used.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="add" fixes-bug="38132" due-to="Richard Wheeldon">

        Bugfix: TableCell did not properly report that it generates reference-areas
        which could lead to wrong inherited values for start-indent and end-indent.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="add">
        The font loading code now reads the encoding value from the XML font metrics file
        so that fonts like Symbol and ZapfDingbats can be embedded explicitely (Required by PDF/A).
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="SP" type="update">
        Improvements to the code for inline block content.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="MM" type="fix" fixes-bug="38089">
        Bugfix: Image height for BMP images was incorrectly calculated

      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="MM" type="fix">
        Changed a method name in LineArea from finalize to finalise because it was
        never intended for the method to be an override of the Java Object finalize
        method. If invoked by the Java garbage collector it may cause a NPE.
      </action>
    </release>
    <release version="0.91beta" date="23 Dec 2005">
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="update">

        Changed the XMLHandler interface so it doesn't report the MIME type it
        supports but instead can report whether it supports a particular Renderer
        implementation. XMLHandlers are now configurable.

      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix">
        Fixed a bug where SVG content could be clipped when rendered to PostScript.
      </action>

      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix" fixes-bug="37875">
        Bugfix: Some content inside a table-header may not have been renderered on
        pages n &gt; 1 in certain conditions.

      <action context="Code" dev="MM" type="fix">

      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="add">
        The command-line now automatically sets two parameters for any XSLT transformation:

      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="add">
        Added an alternative set of rules for calculating text indents which tries to mimic
        the behaviour of many commercial FO implementations that chose to break the rules

      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix">
        The validation check for non-zero borders and padding on a region-* and for empty static-content 
        elements is now turned off when relaxed validation is active to improve compatibility with
