Re: Question on FOP release schedule
Hi Jacopo, Thanks for your contribution. I wonder why you ask for a bug fix release of 1.1? v2.0 will include all bug fixes since the v1.1 release, there are no plans for a 1.1.2 release or similar. We are working towards a v2.0 release of FOP. We've just released XML Graphics Commons v2.0, but the FOP release is dependent on other libraries being released first.

As regards the bug fix release, at the moment this is the only issue that I am aware of that is causing some pain to OFBiz and having a bug fix release for it would be great; however I know that the release workflow requires a good amount of work and I am wondering if I or other OFBiz committers may be of any help in the release process (e.g. we could help the FOP community to maintain a release branch for 1.1 by backporting fixes to it and testing it). I am wide open to any suggestions. Of course OFBiz will upgrade to the new release 2.0 as soon as this will be available and we will help you to test that as well. All in all I am just trying to give something back to the FOP community, since the OFBiz community has been a rather silent and passive user of your amazing tool :-) Regards, Jacopo On Oct 3, 2014, at 1:15 AM, Luis Bernardo lmpmberna...@gmail.com wrote: I can apply your patch although I do not have the environment to test it. Regarding the question about a bug fix for 1.1, the answer is that there is nothing planned but if there is interest from the FOP users I think that can be accommodated. Is there any other bug your would like to see fixed in a 1.1+ release?

Re: Question on FOP release schedule
Hi Chris, the only reason I have asked for a bug fix release for 1.1 is because it may be easier to approve/publish. But if you are already planning the new 2.0 release then great. Is there a tentative plan for it already? Thanks, Jacopo On Oct 7, 2014, at 2:36 PM, Chris Bowditch bowditch_ch...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi Jacopo, Thanks for your contribution.
