Just to give you a hand, I'll try to remember some of the things that have
been changed (by various people). Hopefully I can remember it correctly.
I'm sure I have forgotten some things...
0.18 - 0.19
- svg handled with batik, supported in pdf, awt and ps
- svg->pdf transcoder, PDFGraphics2D for drawing into pdf
- ps renderer
- testing system, for use with the w3c defined testsuite.dtd including our
tests
0.19-0.20
- all properties are read, a message will indicate if it is not supported
- all elements now handled, with a message for unsupported elements
- uses Unknown element if namespace+element not found, rather than using
FObjMixed
- support for only loading user fonts for pdf when needed
- fo:wrapper should support inheriting properties better
- table row span
- support for drawing text into PDFGraphics2D
- marker support (I'm sure you know)
- streaming pdf
- changed rendering of alpha images for svg in pdf, now uses white
background
- proper device information for PDFGraphics2D rendering
- code formatted
- element and property list mappings now added through single interface
Not sure where
- better handling table borders
- lines/borders render better in pdf
- better handling of base directory, image locating
That's enough for me, my short term memory is empty.
