History of Changes

Version FOP Trunk ()

Version 0.92beta (18 Apr 2006)

Code

  • add Initial support for page-position="last" added. (JM)
  • add Reenabled loading of user-supplied hyphenation patterns that was available in FOP 0.20.5. (See "hyphenation-base" option in the user configuration) (JM)
  • add Added support for fixed-width spaces. (JM)
  • add Added support for kerning. (JM)
  • add Support for "userconfig" attribute in FOP Ant Task. (JM) Thanks to Jirí Mareš.
  • add Initial support for XMP metadata (PDF 1.4) under fo:declarations. (JM)
  • add Added support for the background-position shorthand property. (AD)
  • add Added support for the font shorthand property. (AD)
  • add Added support for system-color() function. (JM) Thanks to Max Berger. Fixes 38618.
  • add Added support for the from-table-column() function. (Thanks to gerhard.oettl.at.oesoft.at for the inspiration.) (AD)
  • add New feature: "Intermediate format" (IF). The IF is basically the XML dialect written by the area tree renderer (XMLRenderer). A new parser for this format allows reparsing a serialized and possibly modified area tree and rendering it to the final target format. (JM)
  • add Relative URLs for the font configuration attributes metrics-url and embed-url are now supported. A new configuration property font-base has been added. It sets the base URL against which relative font URLs are resolved. If font-base is not set base is used. (MM) Fixes 36729.
  • add Added support for RFC2397 "data" URLs. (JM) Thanks to Richard Wheeldon. Fixes 38132.
  • add The font loading code now reads the encoding value from the XML font metrics file so that fonts like Symbol and ZapfDingbats can be embedded explicitely (Required by PDF/A). (JM)
  • add Added feature: support for white-space shorthand (AD)
  • add Added feature: support for page-break-* shorthands (AD)
  • fix Bugfix: The generation of the PDF "d" (setdash) command was assuming that only integer values can be used but that isn't the case. Dash patterns PDFGraphics2D would be wrong in the process. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Fixed a division by zero problem in TTFReader and improved the detection of the capHeight and xHeight font metric values for TrueType fonts. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Allow URLs in basic-link's external-destination to be wrapped in "url()". (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Corrected enumerated property value for white-space property from "no-wrap" to "nowrap". (MM)
  • fix Bugfix: Added support for white-space-treatment="preserve" in particular to support the white-space="pre" short hand property. (MM) Fixes 38457.
  • fix Corrected expectation and behaviour for the text-indent property to only apply to the first line area generated by a block. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix for invalid handling of ICC color profiles in JPEG images and for dealing with CMYK JPEG images with the Adobe APPE marker. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Certain filter combinations in PDF could lead to invalid PDFs. DecodeParams were not properly handled. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: CCITT Group 4 encoded TIFF images with multiple strips are now properly embedded in PDF files. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Fixed a copy/paste error in the table layout code that caused wrong page break decisions when table-headers and/or table-footers are used. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Fixed an NPE that was thrown when a table was used inside a footnote-body. (JM)
  • fix 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.) (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: When the base URL was specified as a file system path, the constructed URL was wrong. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Fixed two causes for ClassCastExceptions in BlockContainerLayoutManager. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: padding-top and padding-bottom on list-items could lead to wrong page break decisions and thus to overlapping text. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: break-before and break-after were ignored on list-items. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: The elements representing a non-breaking space weren't always correct. (LF) Fixes 38507.
  • fix Bugfix: Text-decoration was not promoted if no text-decoration attribute was specified on a nested element. (JM) Fixes 38453.
  • fix Bugfix: Spanned cells could lead to an false error message about overlapping cells and ultimately a NullPointerException. (JM) Fixes 38397.
  • fix Bugfix: Regions with non-standard names got ignored in RTF output leading to missing headers and footers. (JM)
  • fix The RTF output now properly generates the "\landscape" flag for documents in landscape orientation. (JM)
  • fix 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. (JM)
  • fix 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. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Spans that end up with a negative height don't get swallowed anymore. (JM) Fixes 38054.
  • fix Bugfix: Certain border styles could lead to a NullPointerException. (JM) Fixes 38132.
  • fix Bugfix: Space was not adjusted if the space was on a nested block. This could lead to content overflowing the bottom of a page. (JM) Fixes 38102.
  • fix Bugfix: TableCell did not properly report that it generates reference-areas which could lead to wrong inherited values for start-indent and end-indent. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Image height for BMP images was incorrectly calculated (MM) Fixes 38089.
  • fix Bugfix: NullPointerException on certain fo:inline within lists. (MM) Fixes 38053.
  • fix Bugfix: ClassCastException on certain fo:inline with border combinations. (MM) Fixes 37743.
  • fix 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. (MM)
  • update Implement property name as default argument on some xsl-function calls. (SP) Thanks to Gerhard Oettl. Fixes 38098.
  • update Implement force-page-count property of page-sequence. (SP) Thanks to Gerhard Oettl. Fixes 38087.
  • update Improvements to the code for inline block content. (SP)
  • update Revision of refinement white-space handling. (AD)

Version 0.91beta (23 Dec 2005)

Code

  • add Added checks that warn about tables and block-containers that are wider than the available content area. (JM)
  • add First attempt at SVG support in RTF output. SVG images are converted to 300dpi JPEG images internally. (JM)
  • add 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. (JM)
  • add 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. (JM)
  • add 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. (JM)
  • add Implemented "Overconstrained Geometry" rules (5.3.4, XSL 1.0) for the most important cases. (JM)
  • add Support for leader painting in PostScript output. (JM)
  • add Support for hyphenation-ladder-count. (LF, MM)
  • fix Fixed a bug where the linefeed-treatment property value "preserve" was not honoured when used in conjunction with text-align="center". (MM)
  • fix Bugfix: hard breaks with even-page or odd-page were not handled correctly when spaces were surrounding the break. (JM) Fixes 37964.
  • fix Fixed a bug where SVG content could be clipped when rendered to PostScript. (JM)
  • fix 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! (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Some content inside a table-header may not have been renderered on pages n > 1 in certain conditions. (JM) Fixes 37875.
  • fix Fixed a bug where an empty line, i.e. a block containing only a  , was not rendered at all. (MM)
  • fix 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. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Footnotes were lost if the footnote appeared in centered text. (JM) Fixes 37880.
  • fix Fix to correct image sizes in RTF output. (JM)
  • fix The output file is now deleted when an exception occurs when calling FOP from the command-line. (JM)
  • fix 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. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Column balancing produced strange break decisions in certain multi-column documents with large amounts of text. (JM) Fixes 37828.
  • fix Bugfix: The combination of content-width="scale-to-fit" and content-height="100%" did not work as expected due to a datatype conversion bug. (JM) Thanks to Tom Craddock. Fixes 37815.
  • fix Bugfix: A span="all" on the first block cause a subsequent page break and the first block didn't span all columns. (JM) Fixes 37813.
  • fix Bugfix: Self-created OutputStreams in PNG Renderer were not properly closed. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Relatively positioned BlockViewports (from block-containers) caused the paint cursor not be be properly advanced when space-before or space-after were present. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix: Space resolution was incomplete for content in table-cells. Conditional elements didn't get removed. (JM)
  • fix 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. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix for "/ by zero" ArithmeticExceptions when an URL to a non-existing image is used and content-width and/or content-height is used. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix for a multi-threading problem: propertyListTable initialization moved from the constructor to a static block in FONode. This fixes NullPointerExceptions in PropertyList. (JM)
  • fix Bugfix for placement of text inside a text area when borders are present in PostScript output. (JM)
  • update Deprecated Fop constructors that use integer constants to select the output format have been removed in favor or the constructors that use MIME types. (JM)
  • update 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. (JM)
  • update 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. (JM)
  • update Additional checks to detect text overflows. The overflow property is now properly handled where applicable. (JM)
  • update Source location information improved. If location information is not available, the context information is provided based on text content. (JM)
  • update The border-collapse property on fo:table is now forced to the value "separate" until the collapsing border has been implemented. (JM)
  • update Improvements on leader painting in PDF output. (JM)
