I still think it's critical that we put some time into working on the infinite looping 
that seems to be happening with certain layouts.  Yeah...they're often unrenderable, 
but an infinite loop can mean a restart of Tomcat or jBoss or a similar large server 
environment.

I have a bug related to infinite looping assigned to me, and as soon as I'm done 
taking the GRE tomorrow (wishes of luck appreciated), I'll have the time to devote to 
it.

By the way, I keep saying this, but I never get a response- I cannot find downloadable 
CVS snapshots of the maintenance branch on the FOP website, and the 0.20.4 src package 
didn't have any .java files in it the last time I tried downloading it.  I could just 
be nuts, though.  Has anyone noticed this?  I can't do CVS checkouts from work.

Subject: plan for 0.20.5 release


[Thanks for the gratulations and now back to FOP
(with permission from my wife ;-)]

OK,
I'm planing to do the following things for the next maintenance release

Fix for bug #7587 (color problems with jpeg images and acrobat
reader 5, patch seems to work, just needs a little testing)

Update the following jars: Batik to 1.5beta4, Xalan to 2.4.1 and Xerces 
to 2.2.0

Problem with basedir and fonts metrics seems to be fixed (thanks Jeremias)

Work through the patch queue. If someone wants to help here please 
assign the "bug" to yourself.

Documentation: Copying the new forrest docs from trunk
to the maintenance branch (and integrate into the build) sounds
like the best approach.

The CHANGES files needs to be updated. Best thing would
be if everybody documents his own changes, if not I'll try to
do it from the cvs-commit messages

And, as Oleg already suggested, it would be nice to clean up bugzilla
(181 bugs at the moment). Any volunteers?

Anybody else (Joerg/Rhett?) working on something with should go
into this last maintenance release?

Anything else which should be done?

Christian
