New AODL release 1.2.0.2 available

Hi all,

a new release (1.2.0.2 beta) of AODL is available. Here a
short overview
of new features and updates:

- Support for master page / styles in text documents load,
edit, create, ...
- Extending of the IDocument interfaces
  Method SaveTo now overloaded and a external exporter
implementation 
can be
  passed e.g the PDFExporter
- PDF export for text documents available through the
AODL.pdf.exporter 
extension
- Extended DrawFrame properties now also available
DPIX,DPIY,
  original width and height in px (necessary for layout
handling)
- Extended Graphic properties now also available margins to
set and get the
  distance to  surrounding text
- Extended Paragraph properties now also available
break-after, next 
content
  on new page ...
- Several smaller bugfixes ...

Next to the update I've also added a larger sample
application which will
show you one possible way to use AODL to generate bills in
the 
OpenDocument format.
The sample is included as source and executable within the
AODL download 
file which
you can download from the following URL:


http://odftoolkit.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentLis
t?folderID=679&expandFolder=679&folderID=679

or simply surf to the ODFToolkit homepage 
(http://odftoolkit.op
enoffice.org)
and choose Documents & files from the left main menu.

What will be the next steps .... ?
For the moment I think about two new implementations XForms
and Charts. Both
would be usefull for several kinds of usage scenarios, but
of course I can't
implement both at the same time and have to make a decision
which should be
the first one. If you have any preferences feel free to post
your 
meaning and of
course feel also free to join the project!

Regards and merry easter!
Lars
