- <title>FOP 0.20.5</title>
- <p>This was the last release in the 0.20.x series (aka maintenance branch).</p>
- <p>Important changes since the last release (0.20.4):</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Some hyphenation patterns (cs, da, de, de_DR, el, en, en_US, fr, nl,
- no, sk, tr) have been removed due to licensing reasons
- (en_GB hyphenation has been renamed to en).
- We're still working on this issue
- (see <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FOPAudits/March2003">
- Wiki</a> for details).
- </li>
- <li>Documentation is now built with <a href="http://xml.apache.org/forrest/">
- Forrest</a> (version 0.4). You need to install Forrest if you want build the docs
- yourself. (See
- <a href="http://xml.apache.org/forrest/your-project.html">Using Forrest</a>)
- </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, but Jimi is not included in the
- FOP distribution. To use it, first download
- <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/">Jimi</a>, then extract
- the archive, then
- copy JimiProClasses.zip to FOP's lib dir and rename it to jimi-1.0.jar.
- </li>
- <li>FOP has been compiled with JAI support, but JAI is not included in the
- FOP distribution. To use it, simply install
- <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai">JAI</a>.
- </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".
- </li>
- <li>FOP has been compiled with cryptography support. See
- <a href="0.94/pdfencryption.html">
- PDF encryption</a> for details about installation and usage.
- </li>
- <li>The behaviour of leader has changed. See
- <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19341">bug #19341</a>,
- <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19465">bug #19465</a>
- and <code>leader.fo</code> (examples).
- </li>
- <li>
- For a more detailed list of changes, see the CHANGES file in the root of the
- FOP distribution.

-<section>
- <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
- <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/">Jimi</a>
- 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 <a href="0.94/embedding.html">Embedding</a> 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>

- <title>FOP 0.20.3</title>
- <p>Important Information:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>This version supports the
- <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/">XSL-FO Version 1.0
- W3C Recommendation</a> syntax. So don't forget to update your
- Stylesheets:
- <br/>Just rename the <code>master-name</code> property to <code>master-reference</code>
- 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
- <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/">Jimi</a>,
- copy it to lib/ and build FOP yourself</li>
- <li>Building under JDK 1.4:
- <br/>You need to add a method in
- <code>src/org/apache/fop/svg/PDFGraphics2D.java</code>
- (search for jdk1.4 and remove the comments)
