30 March 2007 - Apache Batik 1.7 beta1 Now Available
The Apache Batik team is proud to announce the long-awaited release of Apache Batik version 1.7beta1, a Java-based toolkit for processing SVG.
This is the first release of Batik in approximately two years, and brings many new features and improvements over version 1.6. Notable new features include:
- DOM Level 3 Core/Events/XPath support
- Improved WMF transcoder support
- Near complete SMIL Animation support
- A few SVG 1.2 features, such as:
- resource documents
- shapechange and RenderedBBoxChange events
- SVGGlobal startMouseCapture/stopMouseCapture methods
- handler elements
Batik can be downloaded from here:

For the full list of improvements and bug fixes over version 1.6, click on the "release change log" link from that page.
The reasoning behind having a beta release rather than a full release is that there has been a great deal of changes since version 1.6, and while we believe the code to be reasonably stable, it would be beneficial to get feedback from users on any bugs that may have been missed. We plan to have a full 1.7 release in a month or two.
If you find any problems, please file bug reports:
