- <p>[last updated 5 July 2010]</p>

- FOP version 0.95 was released on 5 August 2008. FOP version 1.0 was released in July 2010.

- <title>Development Status</title>
-
- <p>The FOP code base is gradually evolving, from version 0.90
- released on 22 November 2005, to version 1.0 released in July
- 2010. Further releases in the 1.x series may be expected.</p>
- <p>FOP releases before version 0.90 were based on a different
- code base. The last release in that series was version 0.20.5,
- released on 18 July 2003. This series is no longer maintained.</p>
- <p>
- If you're looking for a long-term road-map we have to disappoint you. This is Open
- Source and we're mostly volunteers working in their free time. What we have
- is an idea where we want to go. How fast we get there depends on the
- available time, on how well our ideas work out while developing and on you!
- There's a <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/RoadMap">document in the Wiki</a>
- where ideas for new developments may be registered and documented.
