Release Notes

| FOP 0.20.4 |
Important changes since 0.20.3: FOP should now work with any JAXP1.1 compliant parser/transformer. It has been successfully tested with Xerces/Xalan, Saxon and JDK1.4 (which includes Crimson and Xalan). The following JARs have been updated: Xerces to version 2.0.1, Xalan to version 2.3.1 and Batik to version 1.5beta2. Fop has been compiled with Jimi support this time but you still have to download Jimi and copy it to lib/ to get PNG support (no need to build FOP yourself though). Building FOP with JDK1.2 does not work. Running is ok except support for additional truetype fonts in AWT Viewer. Logging has been changed from LogKit to Avalon's Logger Interface. (see Embedding for details). Building under JDK 1.4: You need to add a method in `src/org/apache/fop/svg/PDFGraphics2D.java` (search for jdk1.4 and remove the comments) To decrease the size of the distributions, ant, xml-docs, design-docs and the hyphenation sources have been removed from the binary distribution. Javadocs have been removed from the source distribution (use `build javadocs` to generate them). Documentaion generation is broken in the maintenance branch at the moment (Stylebook needs xerces1). The docs for this release are generated from the trunk. For a more detailed list of changes, see the CHANGES file in the root of the FOP distribution.
