[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache FOP 0.91 beta released

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

(Third time's the charm ;-))

The Apache FOP team hereby notifies you all of the release of FOP  
0.91 beta, which includes various updates and bugfixes based on user  
feedback to the 0.90 alpha 1 release from about a month ago.

The changes made since 0.91 alpha can be found here:

The following page contains the links to the various distributions:


To those of you still using FOP 0.20.5 we would like to repeat the  
request to go ahead and try out the redesigned FOP. The more feedback  
we get, the more likely it becomes that certain features and  
enhancements will find their way into the codebase. If you encounter  
problems when upgrading, please check the following page first:

If the answer to your particular problem isn't mentioned there, the  
FOP Team will be at your disposal on
fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org to help guide you to a working  
solution.

Code-grinders are, of course, always welcome to check out the source  
distribution and offer any ideas for enhancement and/or improvement  
on fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org.


Hope you enjoy!


Cheers,

Andreas L. Delmelle
for the Apache FOP Team

Sorry, forgot to paste the links :-(
Perhaps it would have been better to wait until after the weekend  
(filled with food and too much drinks :-P)

Hmm, actually I think we're not very clear about what we really mean
with our version numbers. We don't really have a loner-term strategy,
yet. If think of the current release like this: We're at version 0.91 en
route towards a stable 1.0 (however this will look like) and we are
indicating the overall/average stability of the code as "beta".

Don't put too much weight on that page. It hasn't been updated in half a
year!

This isn't important for my users needs. RenderX didn't implement 
automatic table layout until version 4.x of XEP. I belive this is 
because most documents don't need it.

If it is key for your documents, then why not have a go at implementing 
it yourself? We would be very grateful for any code contribution ;)

Automatic table layout has not been completed yet. Jeremias has only 
written some ideas on how to implement it.

I'd still *really* like to see automatic table layout in 1.0...

Decimal cell alignment would also be nice, but is not as critical by a 
long shot.

This is a beta of 0.91... We still have a few things we hope to have  
implemented before the 1.0 release (I believe mainly 'font' related  
stuff...). In addition, although it is very powerful, we are still  
finding a few bugs with each release.

BTW, at this point, our goal in establishing new releases is to  
generate excitement, and users (who aren't eager to build & use from  
TRUNK). You can find out more about our status (and where we need  
help! ;-) by checking out (and contributing to?) our wiki:

<http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/DeveloperPages>

You will also find out Task List, as well as our list of estimates on  
this page:

Question: is this a beta of the 0.91 release or is 0.91 a beta of the 
1.0 release?

Perhaps it would have been better to wait until after the weekend  
(filled with food and too much drinks :-P)
