FOP 0.92beta is online
Christian has pushed the release build to the distribution directory last night. I've just updated the website so we're ready for the announcement. Andreas, when you set up the announcement, please include a point that we're requesting feedback on the finalized API. Just in case we have overlooked anything when designing it so we can safely go 1.0 with the next release. Many thanks to everyone who helped with the release, especially Christian who did some late-night work during the last couple of days. All right then, let's work towards 1.0. :-) Jeremias Maerki

Squeezing content in block-container
I've done a local hack that tries to squeeze all content of a
block-container into the available area if that's possible based on the
available shrink. I've done this by modifying
PageBreakingAlgorithm.computeDemerits():
[..]
demerits += activeNode.totalDemerits;
if (singlePartMode activeNode.line 0) {
demerits += 1000;
}
return demerits;
singlePartMode is a boolean which is true when processing a
block-container. The same could be used for static-content.
This will increase the demerits a lot if the breaker tries to create
more than one part/line and indirectly forces the breaker to use the
shrink value. Is that a good solution or does anyone have a better idea?
Thanks,

Re: [FYI] All three software grants for the AFP renderer are recorded
Right now, I'm ticking off the remainder of the checklist items for IP clearance. One of the points is to remind you that you submit a Corporate CLA (CCLA) if necessary (!) besides the ICLA you've already submitted. See below for details. I'm only doing this since I found no evidence that we already told you (Joe and Pete) explicitely about the CCLA. Note: this does not block the process any further either way. From http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas: For a corporation that has assigned employees to work on an Apache project, a Corporate CLA (CCLA) is available for contributing intellectual property via the corporation that may have been assigned as part of an employment agreement. Note that a Corporate CLA does not remove the need for every developer to sign their own CLA as an individual, to cover their contributions that are not owned by the corporation signing the CCLA.

Re: [FYI] All three software grants for the AFP renderer are recorded
All my contributions to the AFP Renderer have been done independently of any corporate entity. I don't believe I need a CCLA.

Re: Squeezing content in block-container
Sure. One of my client has a fixed-size box (defined by a block-container) whose contents should distribute vertically in the available vertical area. The amount of content in that box can differ from document to document. The best solution I see (besides the proprietary fill on display-align and your equally proprietary overflow=shrink-to-fit) is to specify rather large space-before and space-after values but allowing for shrink (space-after.minimum=0pt). If block-container is interpreted as not generating more than one box as specified by the b-p-d and i-p-d properties, you can use that approach to adjust the spacing with existing means because you can suggest to the breaker that only one part/line/page should be produced. However, as many will remember, there are certain uncertainties concerning the interpretation of block-container: The fo:block-container formatting object generates one or more viewport/reference pairs.

Re: Announcement: FOP 0.92beta released
Thanks for the feedback. Incidentally, I've had another e-mail asking me when SVG support will be restored. D'oh. I've already fixed it. The website will be updated in a few minutes.

This is ambiguous. Could it be rephrased to: PCL, MIF and SVG output support have not been restored, yet. or PCL, MIF and SVG target support have not been restored, yet. Rationale: Using SVG images from within FOs works just fine. But when I just read the above line, I think that fop does not have any SVG support at all.
