[ANNOUNCEMENT] FOP 0.20.5 Release Candidate 2 available
Hi all,
the second Release Candidate for 0.20.5 is finally available at
http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/fop for downloading and testing.
(New download location - please use a mirror if possible)
It is planed to make the actual release on on february the 28th
if no serious bugs show up.
The changes from the previous release candidate includes some
bugfixes (marker handling, leader with page-citation, Jimi usage
and more) but also the removal of some hyphenation patterns due
to licensing reasons.
Changes since 0.20.4 include:
- Fixed link hotspot positioning
- Fixed multi-threading issues
- Added autoselecting portrait/landscape on PCL Renderer
- Improved AWT Font-measuring/rendering
- Perfomance tuning
- Added support for CCITT Group 4 encoded TIFF files
- Dynamic JAI support
- Fixed problem with jpegs with icc profile and acrobat reader 5
- Added a fontBaseDir property
- TXTRenderer output encoding
- border-spacing support
For details see CHANGES file:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/CHANGES?rev=1.10.2.50
Please send feedback/bugreports to the mailing list or enter them
in Bugzilla.
Enjoy,
Christian

I'll put it on my todo list if nobody does it before I do.

The removal of hyphenation files was exclusively triggered by licence
issues. We don't have an en_US.xml that we're confortble with ATM.

In the binary distribution they are in the hyph directory of fop.jar (in
"compiled" form). In the source distribution they are under src/hyph as
XML files.

Thanks for the quick response. Can this information be added to the
release notes and/or readme?
I see that en_GB.xml exists but what's the story on what I would assume
would be called en_US.xml (US English hyphenation patterns file)? Does
it exist? Is it missing due to licensing issues?
Also, I've searched for filenames & "text" contents in my fop
installations (.4 & .5rc2) and I haven't found the hyphenation pattern
files. Where are they stored?

FWIW, I would agree. It should be relatively easy for users to download
the hyphenation files (especially if we provide a list with links! ;-).
I certainly don't think it's worth the risk to include files with
questionable licensing issues.

FOP version 0.20.5rc2 contains the following hyphenation files:
- en_GB.xml: British English
- es.xml: Spanish
- fi.xml: Finnish
- hu.xml: Hungarian
- it.xml: Italian
- pl.xml: Polish
Christian, I'm most uneasy about hu.xml. It's the only one that IMO
doesn't have an explicit statement that the file is in the public domain.
The original (?) file I found contained a notice about free distribution,
but our file doesn't contain a unambiguous reference to the original
file, so I must assume that the copyrights are not entirely clear.
Therefore, I am -1 (veto) on keeping that one for the moment. Does
anyone disagree?

Hyphenation patterns included in fop-0.20.5rc2
Posted by Clay Leeds <cl...@medata.com>.
Esteemed feathery FOPpers,
BTW, congrats & stuff on the release! I just ran it, and it didn't give
me an error! ;-)
Would you let us know which hyphenation files are included with FOP
0.20.5rc2? I think that would be useful information to include in the
fop-dev & fop-user mailing lists for archival/searching purposes, and
the only reference to what is included is en_GB. It might also be useful
to include in the reply, the status of other hyphenation patterns (and
links if they exist).
I checked out the current installation, and had a tough time finding
info on Hyphenation. After doing a search on the fop-0.20.5rc2
directory, I found this file:
fop-0.20.5rc2\examples\fo\basic\hyphen.fo
Is that example the sum total of the hyphenation stuff in FOP? Or was
everything removed (Christian indicated "removal of some hyphenation
patterns")? If it's there, then I couldn't find it. If it's not, then
the RelNotes should read "most" hyphenation patterns...
Thanks for the great effort! It looks *great*!

Cheers, and congratulations all around.
This was a bumpy one (especially for the drivers, I think)
