Your impression is correct. Not everything is up-to-date as it maybe should be. > My question is this: am I simply looking in the wrong spot? Where should > I look for a list of features currently supported in trunk? Yes, you're looking in the wrong spot. ;-) A lot of things have happened but maybe not so much on spec coverage. The compliance page is pretty much up-to-date but if you want a more detailed view of the changes, see here: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/changes.html#version_FOP%20Trunk http://www.svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/ASF/search?path=%2Fxmlgraphics%2Ffop > Is there any idea of when there might be a new release?

Cutting a release is a lot of work but that's not the only reason. Hopefully, 1.0 will be available still this year. > I've been following (and using) FOP since 0.20.5, and I greatly > appreciate the work done by the various contributors.
