The Apache XML Graphics team is pleased to announce a new
release of
Apache XML Graphics Commons.
Apache XML Graphics Commons is a library that consists of
several
reusable components used by Apache Batik [1] and Apache FOP
[2]. Many of
these components can easily be used separately outside the
domains of
SVG and XSL-FO.
The most important addition in this release is an image
loading
framework which supports all sorts of different image
formats (bitmap
and vector) and is highly extensible.
Besides that, there were a larger number of smaller
additions and
bugfixes.
Support for Java 1.3 has been dropped. Java 1.4 or later is
required now.
