+ <title>FOP 0.20.4</title>
+ <p>Important changes since 0.20.3:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>FOP should now work with any JAXP1.1 compliant parser/transformer.
+ It has been successfully tested with Xerces/Xalan, Saxon and JDK1.4
+ (which includes Crimson and Xalan).
+ </li>
+ <li>The following JARs have been updated:
+ Xerces to version 2.0.1, Xalan to version 2.3.1 and Batik to version 1.5beta2.
+ </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>
+ and copy it to lib/ to get PNG support (no need to build FOP yourself though).
+ </li>
+ <li>Building FOP with JDK1.2 does not work. Running is ok except
+ support for additional truetype fonts in AWT Viewer.
+ </li>
+ <li>Logging has been changed from LogKit to Avalon's Logger Interface.
+ (see <link href="embedding.html">Embedding</link> for details).
+ </li>
+ <li>Building under JDK 1.4:
+ You need to add a method in
+ <code>src/org/apache/fop/svg/PDFGraphics2D.java</code>
+ (search for jdk1.4 and remove the comments)
+ </li>
+ <li>To decrease the size of the distributions, ant, xml-docs, design-docs
+ and the hyphenation sources have been removed from the binary distribution.
+ Javadocs have been removed from the source distribution (use
+ <code>build javadocs</code> to generate them).
+ </li>
+ <li>Documentaion generation is broken in the maintenance branch at the moment
+ (Stylebook needs xerces1). The docs for this release are generated from the trunk.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ For a more detailed list of changes, see the CHANGES file in the root of the FOP distribution.
+ </li>
+ </ul>

+ <p>Important Information:</p>

+ <link href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/">XSL-FO Version 1.0
+ W3C Recommendation</link> syntax. So don't forget to update your
+ Stylesheets:

+ on <code>fo:page-sequence</code>, <code>fo:single-page-master-reference</code>,
+ <code>fo:repeatable-page-master-reference</code> and
+ <code>fo:conditional-page-master-reference</code>.</li>
+ <li>JDK 1.2 (or later) is required</li>
+ <li>Jimi has been removed for licensing reasons
+ <br/>If you need PNG support you have to download
+ <link href="http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/">Jimi</link>,
+ copy it to lib/ and build FOP yourself</li>
+ <li>Building under JDK 1.4:
+ <br/>You need to add a method in
