24 August 2007 - Apache FOP 0.94 Released
The Apache XML Graphics team is pleased to announce the release of Apache FOP version 0.94.
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 is the second production-level release after the big re-design effort. It includes many bug fixes and new features, the most important being:
- auto-detection of the fonts installed on the system; the XML metrics generation is now optional;
- support for the collapsing-border model in tables;
- internal links in PDF now point to the exact location, and not to the top of the page;
- support for UAX#14 type line breaking. This annex of the Unicode standard specifies rules for breaking text into lines depending on the language used.
The complete list of changes is available at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/changes_0.94.html
FOP 0.94 implements the XSL-FO 1.1 recommendation to a high degree of compliance. See the compliance page for a detailed overview: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html
