*** General
- Changes to support Batik (KLiddle)
{ FOP now uses Batik to render svg
This is handled for awt - using batik to render to a graphic
and pdf.
Pdf still requires better image support.
The elements and properties are generated from the svgelements.xml
document.
The version of batik is 17/05/2001 cvs. }
- memory buffering (Seshadri G.K.)

*** Examples

- Fixed basic-link horizontal position with justification turned on. (KCampbell)
- add border-collapse property (KLease)
- Added CID Font example (KCampbell)

*** Hyphenation
- corrected danish hyphenation (Carlos Villegas)
- adds Danish hyphenation file (Carlos Villegas)
- Added Norwegian hyphenation based on Rune Kleveland's original
nohyphb.tex TeX patterns from the ispell-norsk-2.0 package (TEngvig)
- Hyphenation patterns for russian (TEngvig)

*** codegen
- The elements and properties are generated from the svgelements.xml
document. (KLiddle)

*** Package org.apache.fop.apps:
- support for XMLRenderer (ASandstrom)
- Removed uses of System.out where throwing a FOPException should suffice.
Refactored code to throw FOPExceptions so embedding FOP wont' cause app
server JVMs to exit. (KCampbell)
- adding -text and -pcl options to help text (FJannidis)
- sets baseDir to a URL string rather than a file path string (KLiddle)

*** Package org.apache.fop.datatypes:

- footnote height/id reference problem fixes (KLiddle)
- Fix body positioning; remove widow and orphan handling for rows (KLease)

this doesn't implement the full CR, but it's a big improvement and will handle
many common cases. (KLease)
- Stop tables from breaking too early, but make sure that all cells are
composed with the same maxHeight and that absolute Height is set correctly.
In TableRow.java, remove old commented out stuff and put back space-before
(for now) and fix a potential bug involving space-before. (KLease)
- Overflows may cause a row to be re-laid out, need to skip cell content
that has already been processed. (AWelch)
- Put back background on table-column and table-cell (KLease)
- increasing padding problem fix (KLiddle)
- Each column in the row should start with the same height available. (AWelch)

*** Package org.apache.fop.fo.pagination:
- running page num ctr now instance variable for servlet use (KLiddle)

after a page sequence. The newline was previously going to the err stream.
(KCampbell)

*** Package org.apache.fop.fonts:
- Patch from westbay@seaple.icc.ne.jp to use unicode escape char instead of
pound sign because it was interpreted as an invalid double byte char in

invalid. (TEngvig)
- Some fonts contains malformed composite glyphs which used to make fop crash.
This adds an errormessage and tries to embed the font without the composite
glyph. (TEngvig)

extras optional. (KCampbell)

padding (KLease)
- (FontInfo, FontState) Refactored FontState so it doesn't do excessive font
