10 March 2008 - Apache XML Graphics Commons 1.3 Released

The Apache XML Graphics team is pleased to announce a new release of Apache XML Graphics Commons.

Apache XML Graphics Commons is a library that consists of several reusable components used by Apache Batik and Apache FOP. Many of these components can easily be used separately outside the domains of SVG and XSL-FO.

The most important addition in this release is an image loading framework which supports all sorts of different image formats (bitmap and vector) and is highly extensible.

Besides that, there were a larger number of smaller additions and bugfixes.

Support for Java 1.3 has been dropped. Java 1.4 or later is required now.

For a detailed list of changes, see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/changes.html

Source and binary distributions can be downloaded from the corresponding directories in an Apache Software Foundation mirror at: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xmlgraphics/commons. See also the download page: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/download.html
