Approaching a release?
As FOP is my only hope for a viable open-source alternative path to PDF, I have been eagerly anticipating your next release. Can anyone give me a sense of how close (or far off) that might be? Thanks, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
Re: Approaching a release?
If all had gone as planned we would have done the first preview release last month. As soon as I'm finished with my space resolution task (hopefully this week), I'm going to write all necessary documentation for the redesigned FOP and then we're pretty much ready to release. Note: alpha/preview release only!

hyphenation-present and junit-layout
I think junit-layout should fail if hyphenation-present is not true. Now the layoutengine tests are silently skipped when hyphenation is not present. Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.nl
Re: Approaching a release?
Hi, Jeremias, If you need or want an editor for that documentation, let me know. As you know, I use FOP and look forward to the new edition. As you probably don't know, I'm a technical writer and editor (and, these days, half developer) with 19 years experience and a Master's degree in English. My current resume is at http://www.bryantcs.com/resume.html if you need to examine my credentials. I started using FOP because I got tired of paying large sums of money for crappy systems and decided to create my own document production system. Now it produces text, PDF, HTML, and WordML output, all with open-source tools (FOP and Saxon).

Now the layoutengine tests are silently skipped when hyphenation is not present. Fair enough - we could a) Just fail the whole layout test target b) Still run the layout and then only the hyphenation dependent tests will fail - not good as it will not continue after the first test failure c) Don't run the layout tests but give a prominent message that the tests have been skipped because of missing hyph support d) Factor out the hyph dependent tests into a separate test target and skip that with a warning Personally I tend towards c) Simon Manuel
