Version 1.0 (21 July 2010)

Changes to the End-User API

• Added a command-line option '-catalog' to use a catalog resolver for the XML and XSLT files Committed by SP.

Changes to the Code Base

• Added support for xmlfile and xsltfile parameters in FOP's Ant Task. Committed by AC.

• Added the possibility to use CachedRenderPagesModel, to conserve memory in case of large documents with a lot of cross-references (area tree will be serialized to disk to avoid keeping it entirely in memory). Committed by AD. Thanks to Dario Laera. See issue FOP-1637.

• Added an event handling framework which allows to get better feedback from within FOP with the ability to customize problem management. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: when #CMYK pseudo-profile was used in the rgb-icc() function, always the fallback RGB colors were used instead. Committed by VH. Thanks to Venkat Reddy. See issue FOP-1730.

• White-space handling in markers with inline-content throws a NullPointerException in some cases. Committed by AD. See issue FOP-1695.

• Bugfix: previously retrieved markers were not cleared if the new marker was empty. Committed by AD. See issue FOP-1645.

• Changed meaning of ‘-v’ option to ‘verbose’, which will print FOP’s version and proceed. Added a ‘-version’ option to simply print the version then exit, following Java practices. Committed by VH.

• MinOptMaxUtil.toMinOptMax was converting LengthRangeProperty objects into illegal MinOptMax objects (in some cases opt could be inferior to min). Committed by VH. See issue FOP-1623.

• Fixed a memory-leak in Marker.MarkerAttribute, where an instance was used both as key and value in a WeakHashMap, effectively neutralizing the benefit of using WeakReferences. Solved by extending PropertyCache to work for MarkerAttributes as well. Committed by AD. See issue FOP-1605.

• Fixed some multi-threading issues in FontCache.java:

  • remove the unused private readObject()

  • make the changeLock member final (initialization-safety + impossible to reassign)

  • perform the HashMap check for a failed font inside the synchronized block to avoid a race condition Committed by AD. Thanks to rogov.AT.devexperts.com.

  See issue FOP-1594.

• Improved the behaviour of the command line interface. Committed by VH. Thanks to Tow Browder. See issue FOP-1586.

• Changed FONode.addCharacters() parameter to closer match the signature of the standard SAX characters() event (reduces confusion and computations). !! Implementors of extensions that subclass FONode directly, and offer an implementation for addCharacters() should take care to make similar modifications in their code !! Committed by AD.

• Bugfix: When there was a forced break after a block with (conditional) borders the border-after wasn't painted. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1492.

• Bugfix: a forced break inside a cell was ignored when occurring before the minimum height set on the enclosing row was set. Committed by VH.

• Fixed exceptions when lists, tables or block-container are children of an inline-level FO. Committed by JM.

• Fixed the rendering of the area of a table corresponding to border-separation, which must be filled with the background of the table, and not the rows. Committed by VH.

• Memory Leak fixed in the Property Cache. Fixed by Jeremias Maerki. Reported and Tested By Chris Bowditch. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix in tables: wrong element generation by the merging algorithm when glues must be produced to cope with conditional spaces. The corresponding length was added twice: one in the glue itself and one in the following box. Committed by VH. See issue FOP-1442.

• Bugfix: breaks generated by the merging algorithm for a table-row containing empty cells had always a penalty of 900. Committed by VH. See issue FOP-1446.

• In case of missing cells the border-end of the table was applied to an inner cell, instead of the (empty) cell in the last column. Committed by VH.

• Fixed the resolution of borders with table-columns (border-before/after was wrongly applied to every cell of the column). Committed by VH.

• Fixed the resolution of border-end on cells spanning several rows. Committed by VH. See issue FOP-1381.

  • Changed CommonFont.getFontState to return an array of FontTriplet.
  • Initial modifications to the related LMs: initialized with the font corresponding to the first of the triplets.

  Committed by AD.

• PropertyCache phase 2:

  • improvement of the PropertyCache itself should now guarantee acceptable performance of the static caches in multi-session environments, which is a possible problem with synchronizedMap.
  • changed CommonFont to use the cache: added CachedCommonFont to contain the properties that are always cacheable CommonFont itself is only cached if the remaining properties are absolutes.
  • changed CommonHyphenation, KeepProperty, ColorProperty and FontFamilyProperty to use the cache.

  Committed by AD.

Changes to Renderers (Output Formats)

• Added an option to disable the default sRGB profile in PDF output for those who don't care about color fidelity, but care about PDF file size. Committed by JM.

Committed by JM.

• Fixed generation of named destinations so it works when the PDF document is encrypted. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: allow multiple bookmarks to point at the same destination. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1116.

• Bugfix: Fixed an NPE that was thrown when a table was used inside a footnote-body. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Fixed a problem with certain TrueType fonts which are missing the "PCLT" table, where a baseline-shift="sub" had no effect due to a missing x-height value. (Note: This only affects TTFReader, so the font metric file has to be regenerated.) Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: When the base URL was specified as a file system path, the constructed URL was wrong. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Fixed two causes for ClassCastExceptions in BlockContainerLayoutManager. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: padding-top and padding-bottom on list-items could lead to wrong page break decisions and thus to overlapping text. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: break-before and break-after were ignored on list-items. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: The elements representing a non-breaking space weren't always correct. Committed by LF. See issue FOP-1142.

• Bugfix: Text-decoration was not promoted if no text-decoration attribute was specified on a nested element. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1140.

• Bugfix: Spanned cells could lead to an false error message about overlapping cells and ultimately a NullPointerException. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1136.

• Bugfix: Regions with non-standard names got ignored in RTF output leading to missing headers and footers. Committed by JM.

• The RTF output now properly generates the "\landscape" flag for documents in landscape orientation. Committed by JM.

• Following a clarification by the XSL FO SG, space traits are only set on the first and last area generated by an FO, and not on every area anymore. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Floating point numbers were not properly formatted in the PDF renderer which could lead to error messages while opening a PDF in Acrobat Reader. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Spans that end up with a negative height don't get swallowed anymore. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1119.

• Bugfix: Certain border styles could lead to a NullPointerException. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1125.

• Bugfix: Space was not adjusted if the space was on a nested block. This could lead to content overflowing the bottom of a page. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1123..

• Bugfix: TableCell did not properly report that it generates reference-areas which could lead to wrong inherited values for start-indent and end-indent. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Image height for BMP images was incorrectly calculated Committed by MM. See issue FOP-1121..

• Bugfix: NullPointerException on certain fo:inline within lists. Committed by MM. See issue FOP-1118..

• Bugfix: ClassCastException on certain fo:inline with border combinations. Committed by MM. See issue FOP-1105..

• Changed a method name in LineArea from finalize to finalise because it was never intended for the method to be an override of the Java Object finalize method. If invoked by the Java garbage collector it may cause a NPE. Committed by MM.

• Implement property name as default argument on some xsl-function calls. Committed by SP. Thanks to Gerhard Oettl. See issue FOP-1122..

• Implement force-page-count property of page-sequence. Committed by SP. Thanks to Gerhard Oettl. See issue FOP-1120..

• Improvements to the code for inline block content. Committed by SP.

• Revision of refinement white-space handling. Committed by AD.

Version 0.91beta (23 Dec 2005)

Changes to the Code Base

• Added checks that warn about tables and block-containers that are wider than the available content area. Committed by JM.

• First attempt at SVG support in RTF output. SVG images are converted to 300dpi JPEG images internally. Committed by JM.

• The command-line now automatically sets two parameters for any XSLT transformation: "fop-output-format" contains the MIME type of the currently selected output format, "fop-version" contains FOP's version number. Committed by JM.

• Added an alternative set of rules for calculating text indents which tries to mimic the behaviour of many commercial FO implementations that chose to break the rules in the FO specification in order to better meet the natural expectations of inexperienced FO users. Committed by JM.

• font-family list still not fully supported but a comma-separated list is now properly tokenized. FOP will now go through all fonts in the list to find one that is available, but it doesn't do so per character, yet. Committed by JM.

• Implemented "Overconstrained Geometry" rules (5.3.4, XSL 1.0) for the most important cases. Committed by JM.

• Support for leader painting in PostScript output. Committed by JM.

• Support for hyphenation-ladder-count. Committed by LF, MM.

• Fixed a bug where the linefeed-treatment property value "preserve" was not honoured when used in conjunction with text-align="center". Committed by MM.

• Bugfix: hard breaks with even-page or odd-page were not handled correctly when spaces were surrounding the break. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1114..

• Fixed a bug where SVG content could be clipped when rendered to PostScript. Committed by JM.

• Changed the way resolutions are handled. The single resolution in the user agent got split up into source and target resolutions. For more info, see the updated documentation. Note: backwards-incompatible change! Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Some content inside a table-header may not have been renderered on pages n > 1 in certain conditions. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1109..

• Fixed a bug where an empty line, i.e. a block containing only a  , was not rendered at all. Committed by MM.

• Fixed a bug where the area for a finished cell that is broken over pages was created once for each row it was spanned over instead of only once. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Footnotes were lost if the footnote appeared in centered text. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1112..

• Fix to correct image sizes in RTF output. Committed by JM.

• The output file is now deleted when an exception occurs when calling FOP from the command-line. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Areas for table-cells that are broken over more than one page are now generated even if all its content is already painted on a previous page. This fixes strange effects like a table grid that is not completely painted. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Column balancing produced strange break decisions in certain multi-column documents with large amounts of text. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1108..

• Bugfix: The combination of content-width="scale-to-fit" and content-height="100%" did not work as expected due to a datatype conversion bug. Committed by JM. Thanks to Tom Craddock. See issue FOP-1107..

• Bugfix: A span="all" on the first block cause a subsequent page break and the first block didn't span all columns. Committed by JM. See issue FOP-1106..

• Bugfix: Self-created OutputStreams in PNG Renderer were not properly closed. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Relatively positioned BlockViewports (from block-containers) caused the paint cursor not be be properly advanced when space-before or space-after were present. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix: Space resolution was incomplete for content in table-cells. Conditional elements didn't get removed. Committed by JM.

• The validation check for non-zero borders and padding on a region-* and for empty static-content elements is now turned off when relaxed validation is active to improve compatibility with FO documents written for other FO implementations. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix for "/ by zero" ArithmeticExceptions when an URL to a non-existing image is used and content-width and/or content-height is used. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix for a multi-threading problem: propertyListTable initialization moved from the constructor to a static block in FONode. This fixes NullPointerExceptions in PropertyList. Committed by JM.

• Bugfix for placement of text inside a text area when borders are present in PostScript output. Committed by JM.

• Deprecated Fop constructors that use integer constants to select the output format have been removed in favor or the constructors that use MIME types. Committed by JM.

• Changed the XMLHandler interface so it doesn't report the MIME type it supports but instead can report whether it supports a particular Renderer implementation. XMLHandlers are now configurable. Committed by JM.

• Improved log and error messages in a number of places by adding additional context information that should make it easier to find the location in the source files. Committed by JM.

• Additional checks to detect text overflows. The overflow property is now properly handled where applicable. Committed by JM.

• Source location information improved. If location information is not available, the context information is provided based on text content. Committed by JM.

• The border-collapse property on fo:table is now forced to the value "separate" until the collapsing border has been implemented. Committed by JM.

• Improvements on leader painting in PDF output. Committed by JM.
