The Apache XML Graphics team is pleased to announce the
immediate
availability of Apache FOP version 0.95beta.
FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter
driven by XSL
Formatting Objects [1] and an output independent formatter.
It is a Java
application that reads a formatting object tree and renders
the
resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats
currently
supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, Print and PNG.
This beta release will be available for testing for some
time, before
a stable release is made. Feedback is welcome, and we would
like to
encourage as many people as possible to try it out and
report bugs and
issues on the fop-users mailing list [2]. The most important
changes
introduced by this release are:
- - many bug fixes and improvements in tables, better
support for keeps
and breaks, new features: conditional borders and
background on
columns and header/footer/body;
- - better image handling thanks to the new image loading
framework
provided by the Apache XML Graphics Commons dependency;
- - improvements and bugfixes for font handling and font
auto-detection/-registration;
- - performance improvements and memory optimizations for
the property
handling in the FO tree.
Please note that support for Java 1.3 has been dropped. Only
one type of
binaries is provided now, that will run on 1.4+ JREs.
