RE: My Goals for XML Graphics Project
Hi,
Would it make sense to make a bugfix release before requiring a newer JDK.
We have done so far:
FOP-2157: Deadlock in CompareUtil class; fixed typo spotted by Jens Schreiber
FOP-2356: default JAVA_HOME is not compatible with Oracle's JDK on Mac OS X
FOP-2436: Merging of Tagged (Accessible) PDF
FOP-2455 - Fix unnecessary duplication of AFP resource objects as suggested by sdridi@iptech-group.com.
FOP-2465: Fix links to/from 'last' page
FOP-2473: SVG text using filters not shown
FOP-2485: Update xercesImpl to 2.9.1
FOP-2486: Soft font support for TrueType fonts in PCL
FOP-2487: replace cached pages if span condition doesn't match
FOP-2488: Support PDF/UA
FOP-2489: An SVG file using markers is not rendered by FOP 2.0
FOP-2490: Embedded SVG 1.2 not supported by FOP 2.0; fix submitted by Hussein Shafie.
FOP-2491: Adobe Reader error with OTF subset PDF
FOP-2494 - Unable to use Ubuntu Mono Font
FOP-2498: Fix "last" page master usage with force-page-count=end-on-even/-odd
FOP-2499: PDF/UA warnings for nested elements
FOP-2504: Truetype support for AFP
FOP-2507: PDFVT and Page Piece exception using IF
FOP-2508: TTF bullet missing when OTF used
FOP-2509: Add support for PDF/A-3
FOP-2510: Flow name infinite Loop
FOP-2512: fix issue with transparent PNGs with indexed color model
FOP-2530: fix performance regression in MultiByteFont.findGlyphIndex as suggested by dvineshkumar@gmail.com
FOP-2537: Support CMYK JPEG in AFP
FOP-2538: PDF to PDF OOM
FOP-2543: Update avalon-framework to 4.3.1
FOP-2546: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException merging fonts
FOP-2547: Update Xalan to 2.7.2 for CVE-2014-0107
FOP-2548: Support Barcode4J page number
FOP-2552: TrueType in AFP adding extra slash to end of font uri
FOP-2553: Support PDF shading to PS
XGC-93: fix performancy penalty caused by excessive DeflaterOutputStream.write(byte) calls, thanks to Andre Klemann
XGC-97: Add PreloaderRawPNG to handle images ImageIO cant
XGC-103: Include ps-setpagedevice when dsc-compliant is false
Thanks

Subject: My Goals for XML Graphics Project
Fellow Team,
I'd like to share some of my ideas for improving the XML Graphics projects as we move forward:
- transition writeable source repository from SVN to GIT, making SVN a
slave to the latter
- transition build, test, and deployment system from Ant to Maven
- update minimum JDK to 7 or perhaps even 8
- enable findbugs (from Maven site goals) by default
- convert non-Junit tests (batik) to Junit
- improve test coverage
- triage bug list
- revisit documentation, in its format, deployment, and content
Overall, I want to bring XML Graphics more up to date with other "modern"
Apache Project practices and tool sets.
Please feel free comment on these matters.
Regards,
Glenn

Hi,
I think a bugfix release is a very good idea.
One very important bugfix, which seems to have affected a lot of users
and was at least partially fixed:
FOP-2461: NullPointerException in ListItemLayoutManager since
Temp_BasicSideFloat Merge
BR,
Matthias

Re: My Goals for XML Graphics Project
Posted by Chris Bowditch <bo...@hotmail.com>.
Sounds good to me Glenn. I'm definitely supportive of moving to Maven.
The question is should we do a bug fix release now or wait until you've
finished porting the projects to Maven?
Thanks,
Chris

I would think we’d want to do one last release before the Maven changes?

I would also support a bugfix release. As for a JDK upgrade, I'm fine with holding off on that until we have a survey and better rationale for an upgrade.
I am more interested in effecting a transition to maven in the shorter term, which I have been working on in branches to be eventually merged to trunk.

Re: My Goals for XML Graphics Project
Posted by Chris Bowditch <bo...@hotmail.com>.
Hi All,
As previously discussed I'm -1 on upgrading the JDK at this time. I will
change my vote if evidence gathered via a survey shows no one is using
the older JDKs. Since FOP is a server side process, my experience is
that it is run on a lot of older systems, like AIX, HP-UX, etc. It is
very difficult to patch these system up to such later JDKs, and so we
may prevent a lot of users from using/upgrading FOP. And for what
benefit? What does the later JDK give us, that JDK 6 doesn't already
have? The benefit seems very minimal versus the potential cost
Thanks,
Chris

+1 for a pre-release party (FOP and/or Batik release before JDK upgrade)
+1 for JDK upgrade, assuming there're community-wide VOTEs (2-weeks? 1-month? Lazy consensus?)
Cheers!
Happy New Year folks!
