In general, we release FOP and XGC together at the same time (as we did
with FOP 1.1 and XGC 1.5) on 2012-10-20. During the interim, we use (in
FOP) a snapshot of the XGC trunk build, which we park at:

lib/xmlgraphics-commons-svn-trunk.jar

in the FOP source hierarchy.

Updating this snapshot is a manual process, so it is possible that some dev
has forgotten to update this after making an XGC trunk change. If you
notice a difference between this snapshot and the current XGC trunk build,
then let us know at fop-...@xmlgraphics.apache.org, and I'm sure someone
will remedy that problem shortly.

Regards,
Glenn
