        Bugfix: Fixed a problem with certain TrueType fonts which are missing the "PCLT"

        Bugfix: padding-top and padding-bottom on list-items could lead to wrong page
        break decisions and thus to overlapping text.
      </action>
      <action context="Code" dev="JM" type="fix">
        Bugfix: break-before and break-after were ignored on list-items.

        New feature: "Intermediate format" (IF). The IF is basically the XML dialect

        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.

        Changed a method name in LineArea from finalize to finalise because it was

        The command-line now automatically sets two parameters for any XSLT transformation:

        Added an alternative set of rules for calculating text indents which tries to mimic

        The validation check for non-zero borders and padding on a region-* and for empty static-content
