Info on my efforts for the 0.20.4 release
Hi Chrisian and other foppers
Yesterday, I started to work on incorporating Huikang Xu's patch for the
PS renderer. As things go, I've found a pile of things in the PS
renderer I didn't like, so I started to hack around. The good message
is: The PS renderer will get a few improvements (all bug fixes by
Huikang Xu, better DSC compliance, correct image placement, totally
refactored encoding filters that don't throw occasional Exceptions
anymore etc.). The bad message is: It got late last night and I haven't
finished and I won't be able to finish today. So, Christian, if you
manage to get the release candidate out today, go for it. I'll commit my
changes after the final release. Sorry.
Cheers,
Jeremias Maerki

Jeremias,
I'm pleased to hear this. I believe that the PS renderer is an
important part of FOP's future.

P.S. Re: the sudden re-appearance of my .sig. Don't be alarmed. I have
just done a clean install of Mozilla 1.0, and rebuilt my prefs.js file
in the process. This simple action has cleared a couple of
long-standing movemail bugs for me, including the loss of a .signature
file. Isn't the 1.0 release a mighty achievement?
