Jeremias,

I haven't test it thoroughly yet, but you asked, so but here's what I've seen:

1. Images are not scaled & overrun block-container height & width. The images seem washed-out & pixelated (gif). This is a stopper, I was hoping it would work better than 20.5. <fo:block-container height="3cm" width="3cm" top="0cm" left="0cm" position="absolute">
   <fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic height="3cm" width="3cm" src="file:images/{$logo}" scaling="uniform"/>
     </fo:block>

2. I had to move region-before after region-body in the simple-page-master. This makes no sense ;), but I assume this is from the spec. Not a problem.

3. NB. Had to replace <fo:table/> with <fo:table-cell><fo:block/></fo:table-cell>

4. No line numbers on errors anymore? This was very useful for debugging stylesheets.

5. There seems to be extra space inserted between lines now. This breaks existing stylesheets static-content layout - is there some default attribute I can turn off for this? (space-before, padding?)

6. PCL - no chance of at least keeping the old renderer?

FWIW: I know these are mostly my compliance issues, but a FAQ on these kind of differences would help greatly.

Cheers,
Roland

Dear users of Apache FOP,

version 0.90alpha1 is now two weeks old. In this time we've already
received a number of bug reports and even some patches. Thanks to
those involved and to everybody who has sent us feedback on the new
version so far.

Still, it's been a little quiet for my taste. :-) So, I'd like to ask
everybody who has tried 0.90alpha1 (or the latest FOP Trunk) so far to
tell us his/her first impression of the new code. Is it crap beyond what
is thought possible? *g* If there are problems, what are they (except
those we already documented, of course)? Or could it even be that you've
already rendered a few non-trivial documents and it didn't even look
that bad? We'd really appreciate some more feedback.

If there are people who would like to contribute more than bug reports
and feedback, but don't know how, please speak up. We can always use
additional help and will be glad to get you on the right track.

Thanks,
Jeremias Maerki
