Title: Batik contributors
-#Batik contributors
+#Batik developers
+The Batik project had been mostly inactive since the release of version 1.7 in 2007. In 2013 the XMLGraphics
+PMC agreed to give committership rights to all PMC members to all projects. This was done so that fixes
+needed by the FOP project could be committed to Batik by FOP committers that belong to the PMC (similarly,
+Batik committers that belong to the PMC also have committership rights to FOP). Most of the commits to Batik
+since 2013 have been done FOP committers.

-## Apache™ Batik: Downloading A Distribution
-### Binary or Source? { #dist-type}
-Most Apache™ Batik users will want to download the latest binary distribution, which is ready to run "out of the box." However, a source distribution will be preferable if you fall into one of the following categories:
+## Download a Release { #release}
+Source ("-src") and binary ("-bin") distributions can be downloaded from a [Apache™ Batik Distribution Mirror](http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xmlgraphics/batik).
-- You wish to modify Batik.
+It is essential to verify the integrity of the downloaded files. See [Verifying ASF Releases](http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html) for more information on why and how.
-- You wish to use a version more recent than the latest release. For example, if you have read on the user mailing list that a bug has been fixed or a feature added that you are eager to try, you might download a source distribution from the SVN repository so that you don't have to wait for the next release.
+Here are the links to each packageâs signature and checksum files. Signatures can be verified by using our [KEYS](http://www.apache.org/dist/xmlgraphics/batik/KEYS) file.
-- You wish to build a local copy of the API documentation (javadocs).

+#Notes
## System requirements { #systemRequirements}
-Batik requires the following to be already installed in your system:
-
-
-
-Java Runtime Environment
-:
-A Java 1.4 or above compatible runtime environment must be present.
-
-## Choosing a distribution to download { #distributions}
-
-To install Batik, you will need to go to the [download page](/batik/download.html) and download one or more ZIP file containing the distribution of your choice. It is good practice to [verify the integrity](#verify) of the distribution files, especially if you are using one of our mirror sites. Here are the various components you will find in the download area and their intended use:
-
-
--
- **batik-** *version* **.zip** (e.g., `batik-1.6.zip`)
-
-The *binary distribution* contains compiled executable JAR files that let you get started with Batik easily. This is the recommended distribution if you want to look at Batikâs features, or you want to experiment with SVG and see the fun things you can do with Batik. The binary distribution comes with a set of sample SVG files.
-
-
--
- **batik-src-** *version* **.zip** (e.g., `batik-src-1.6.zip`)
-
-The *source distribution* contains a complete snapshot of the Batik source code, documentation, regression tools and utilities as well as the script for building Batik. That distribution is a snapshot of the SVN repository. This is the recommended distribution for developers who want to dive into the code and understand how Batik can be integrated in their applications or how Batik can be extended.
-
-
--
- **batik-docs-** *version* **.zip** (e.g., `batik-docs-1.6.zip`)
-
-The *documentation bundle* contains a copy of the Javadoc for the Batik source code.
-
-
-We make nightly copies of the source tree available from the [Apache build](http://svn.apache.org/builds/xml-batik) server. These builds represent the current state of development and may or may not be as stable as releases. There are two types of distributions provided:
-
-
--
- **batik-svn-** *date* **.zip** (e.g., `batik-svn-06-03-29.zip`)
-
-This contains a complete copy of the Subversion repository trunk, including support for running [regard](dev/test.html), Batikâs regression testing utility. In particular this includes all the reference images for testing. Developers are encouraged to get these or better use [Subversion](download.html#svn) directly.
-
-
--
- **batik-src-** *date* **.zip** (e.g., `batik-src-06-03-29.zip`)
-
-This contains all the source code and libraries needed to build and run Batik from source, but does not include the testing facilities.
-
-
-Older releases are available from the [Apache archives](http://archive.apache.org/dist/xmlgraphics/batik). However, we strongly recommend using the current release of Batik.
-
-In all cases, the user should:
-
-
-- Make sure a Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed on the computer where Batik will be installed. See the [system requirements](#systemRequirements). Make sure that the `java` runtime is in the `PATH` environment variable.
-
-- Select the directory where he/she wants to download the distribution.
-
-- Download the desired distribution from the [download page](/batik/download.html).
-
-- Download the associated PGP signature (.asc) and KEYS file (preferable) or MD5 hash (.md5). This must be done directly from the [Apache download](http://www.apache.org/dist/xmlgraphics/batik) area to mean anything.
-
-- Open a console and go to the directory where the distribution was downloaded.
-
-- [Verify the integrity](#verify) of the distribution.
-
--
-Unpack the distribution with Javaâs JAR utility:
-jar xvf <distribution>
-For example, if you have downloaded batik-1.6.zip into /home/IamHere, type the following at the command prompt:
-cd /home/IamHere
-jar xvf batik-1.6.zip
- **IMPORTANT:** UNIX users, do not use the `unzip` utility to unpack the various Batik zip files, as this would not set the directories access rights properly.
-
-
--
-If you are using Mac OS X, you can now generate an application bundle for Squiggle, Batik's SVG browser:
-sh lib/make-squiggle-app.sh
-After running this script, a Finder window will be opened where you can find the generated Squiggle application bundle. Drag this to your Applications folder to install it.
-
-
-- Now you can follow the instructions specific to the application you want to use. For example, see the [SVG Browser](tools/browser.html) page or the [SVG Rasterizer](tools/rasterizer.html) page for an explanation on how to use these tools.

-When boxes touch, the box on top depends on the box below it (there is no horizontal touching). Arrows also indicate dependencies (the source of the arrow depends on the destination). In some cases a thick underline with an arrow is used to indicate that a large number of jar files share a common dependency, this however does not indicate any dependency between the jar files underlined.
-<div class="figure">  </div>Some jar file names are shortened for clarity. All `batik` package references are short for `org.apache.batik`.
-It is worth pointing out that a determined/clever programmer may be able to pare down some of these dependencies. For example the `batik-dom.jar` depends on `xerces.jar` because of the `SAXDocumentFactory` class in `org.apache.batik.dom.util`. If you didnât need to parse XML it would be possible to ignore or break this dependency and still use the `batik-dom.jar` file for its DOM implementation.

+The Batik distribution comes with many jar files. Not all of them are needed in every case (although the provided applications tend to use most of them). The following is a diagram showing the dependencies between the various jar files in the Batik binary distribution.

The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the [KEYS](http://www.apache.org/dist/xmlgraphics/batik/KEYS) as well as the `asc` signature file for the particular distribution you choose. Make sure you get these files from the [main distribution directory](http://www.apache.org/dist/xmlgraphics/batik/), rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using:
-`pgpk -a KEYS pgpv batik-1.6.zip.asc`
+`pgpk -a KEYS pgpv batik-1.8.zip.asc`
*or*
-`pgp -ka KEYS pgp batik-1.6.zip.asc`
+`pgp -ka KEYS pgp batik-1.8.zip.asc`
*or*
-`gpg --import KEYS pgp batik-1.6.zip.asc`
+`gpg --import KEYS pgp batik-1.8.zip.asc`
*or*
-`gpg --import KEYS gpg --verify batik-1.6.zip.asc`
+`gpg --import KEYS gpg --verify batik-1.8.zip.asc`
Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A UNIX program called `md5` or `md5sum` is included in many UNIX distributions. It is also available as part of [GNU Textutils](http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html). Windows users can get binary md5 programs from [here](http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/), [here](http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/), or [here](http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/).
