plan for 0.20.5 release
[Thanks for the gratulations and now back to FOP
(with permission from my wife ;-)]
OK,
I'm planing to do the following things for the next maintenance release
Fix for bug #7587 (color problems with jpeg images and acrobat
reader 5, patch seems to work, just needs a little testing)
Update the following jars: Batik to 1.5beta4, Xalan to 2.4.1 and Xerces
to 2.2.0
Problem with basedir and fonts metrics seems to be fixed (thanks Jeremias)
Work through the patch queue. If someone wants to help here please
assign the "bug" to yourself.
Documentation: Copying the new forrest docs from trunk
to the maintenance branch (and integrate into the build) sounds
like the best approach.
The CHANGES files needs to be updated. Best thing would
be if everybody documents his own changes, if not I'll try to
do it from the cvs-commit messages
And, as Oleg already suggested, it would be nice to clean up bugzilla
(181 bugs at the moment). Any volunteers?
Anybody else (Joerg/Rhett?) working on something with should go
into this last maintenance release?
Anything else which should be done?
Christian

Oleg,
Thanks for that. I have noticed that there are quite a few people who
do respond on dev-user, in addition to yourself and Keiron, which is why
I wondered whether Joerg was making a specific request. I eventually
concluded he was not.

I believe he had meant exactly that. People on fop-user seem to help
ourself pretty good, except for hard or convolute questions and somebody
have to answer those (last months me too got a habit to leave such ones
to Joerg :) as well as to monitor the list just to keep it in order, but
in general I think it's a self-organizing system as any mature mallist.

Joerg,
If you haven't already left, which questions did you have in mind? Is
it your practise to monitor dev-user for questions which nobody else
picks up? Is that the role you want someone else to take over?
Enjoy the holiday. Very sensible of you to stay off-line.

That's why he became a committer ;-)

- update ant.jar, with ant-optional.jar (for style task),
or do something else.
- get rid of buildtools.jar Simply move the hyph taskdef
to the target and use the class from the build tree.
same for the FOPtask. Delete everything else from the
tools dir.
I'm on vacancy from tomorrow on for a bit more than three
weeks, so I can't do this myself.
Who will take care of the unanswered questions while I'm
offline? Oleg?

Here are mine:
o background properties for all regions + regions precedence support
o TXTRenderer output encoding
o border-spacing support

Well, as I suggested it I probably have to take over the task.

Nice feature, works like a charm for me. I believe it should be
documented along with baseDir and also example of defining fontBaseDir
property in userconfig.xml should be provided (btw, baseDir example in
userconfig.xml still marked by "NOT IMPLEMENTED" note while it works for
ages).

We hope this stays that way. :-)

It works in my environment. I'd be very grateful if I got feedback if it
works for others as well because the changes have quite some impact.

I'll have another 3 to 4 four days of paid time to work on the
maintenance branch next week. I'm still in the process to verify all our
stylesheets so we can upgrade from FOP 0.20.3cvs to 0.20.5 soon. I
haven't approached the performance tuning patch, and I hope my changes
didn't invalidate that patch. I don't know if I will get to it. Apart
from eventually applying the patch to the maint branch, I find it
important to evaluate the changes for the applicability to the redesign.
I'm sure there are parts that can be taken over.

I'll add my own changes.

I'd appreciate if the release didn't happen before the end of next week
so I have time to fix what comes up when verifying my stylesheets.
