Last change on this file was 2, checked in by jkacer, 18 years ago

Added all DocBook Framework stuff:

  • DocBook DTD
  • Transformation software FOP 0.20.5 and Saxon 6
  • XSL styles
  • Rexx scripts

Also added some WarpIN-related stuff for creation of WarpIN installation packages.
This state corresponds to version 1.0.0 from November 2005, just slightly modified to carry versioning information (Rexx scripts).

308<ul>
309
310<li>Some hyphenation patterns (cs, da, de, de_DR, el, en, en_US, fr, nl,
311 no, sk, tr) have been removed due to licensing reasons
312 (en_GB hyphenation has been renamed to en).
313 We're still working on this issue
314 (see <a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?FOPAudits/March2003">
315 Wiki</a> for details).
316 </li>
317
318<li>Documentation is now built with <a href="http://xml.apache.org/forrest/">
319 Forrest</a> (version 0.4). You need to install Forrest if you want build the docs
320 yourself. (See
321 <a href="http://xml.apache.org/forrest/your-project.html">Using Forrest</a>)
322 </li>
323
324<li>The following JARs have been updated:
325 Xerces to version 2.2.1, Xalan to version 2.4.1 and Batik to version 1.5beta4.
326 </li>
327
328<li>FOP has been compiled with Jimi support, but Jimi is not included in the
329 FOP distribution. To use it, first download
330 <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/">Jimi</a>, then extract
331 the archive, then
332 copy JimiProClasses.zip to FOP's lib dir and rename it to jimi-1.0.jar.
333 </li>
334
335<li>FOP has been compiled with JAI support, but JAI is not included in the
336 FOP distribution. To use it, simply install
337 <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai">JAI</a>.
338 </li>
339
340<li>Links in PDF won't generate multiple link rectangles anymore. If this causes
341 a problem you can set the system property "links.merge" to "no".
342 </li>
343
344<li>FOP has been compiled with cryptography support. See <a href="pdfencryption.html">
345 PDF encryption</a> for details about installation and usage.
346 </li>
347
348<li>The behaviour of leader has changed. See
349 <a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19341">bug #19341</a>,
350 <a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19465">bug #19465</a>

364<div style="margin-left: 0 ; border: 2px">
365<p>Important changes since 0.20.3:</p>
366<ul>
367
368<li>FOP should now work with any JAXP1.1 compliant parser/transformer.
369 It has been successfully tested with Xerces/Xalan, Saxon and JDK1.4
370 (which includes Crimson and Xalan).
371 </li>
372
373<li>The following JARs have been updated:
374 Xerces to version 2.0.1, Xalan to version 2.3.1 and Batik to version 1.5beta2.
375 </li>
376
377<li>FOP has been compiled with Jimi support this time
378 but you still have to download
379 <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/">Jimi</a>
380 and copy it to lib/ to get PNG support (no need to build FOP yourself though).
381 </li>
382
383<li>Building FOP with JDK1.2 does not work. Running is ok except
384 support for additional truetype fonts in AWT Viewer.
385 </li>
386
387<li>Logging has been changed from LogKit to Avalon's Logger Interface.
388 (see <a href="embedding.html">Embedding</a> for details).
389 </li>
390
391<li>Building under JDK 1.4:
392 You need to add a method in
393 <span class="codefrag">src/org/apache/fop/svg/PDFGraphics2D.java</span>
394 (search for jdk1.4 and remove the comments)
395 </li>
396
397<li>To decrease the size of the distributions, ant, xml-docs, design-docs
398 and the hyphenation sources have been removed from the binary distribution.
399 Javadocs have been removed from the source distribution (use
400 <span class="codefrag">build javadocs</span> to generate them).
401 </li>
402
403<li>Documentaion generation is broken in the maintenance branch at the moment
404 (Stylebook needs xerces1). The docs for this release are generated from the trunk.
405 </li>
406
