I have applied this patch. Thanks, Jeff, very much for your efforts in reducing the impact of the upgrade. > Incidentally, I noticed a recent discussion about creating a unified PDF > manual for FOP.

Unless anyone thinks this is urgent, I'm going to defer working on this until we get, er, the technology that Forrest uses to create PDFs, working a bit, ahem, better.
