Hmmm, I was planning to work a bit on Fop during holidays, but obviously I haven't found the time... I'll get back to work on the release from next Tuesday on. Too bad, that fop.bat problem. But well, such problems always appear in computer science. Thanks for your great work for the release, anyway. Vincent
Re: New FOP release: FOP 0.93
Is there any sort of time table for a non-alpha/beta 0.9x or 1.0 release? -- Jess Holle

Re: New FOP release: FOP 0.93
Done, and branch xmlgraphics/fop/branches/fop-0_93 created. On Tue, Dec 19, 2006 at 09:02:06PM +0100, Simon Pepping wrote: As discussed recently, I will prepare a release of FOP, to be named 0.93. Two issues need to be addressed: 1. I will apply two patches by Richard Wheeldon, to improve memory usage: Bug http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41009, with patch http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=19177 en bug http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41044, with patch http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=19155. I will have to study the first patch, as I have not looked at it, and the bugzilla page contains nobody's comments. I will only apply the patch if it seems certain that it breaks nothing. I have studied and commented the second patch, as has Andreas, and I believe it can be safely applied before the release. Applying these patches allows us to present a production version whose memory usage has been trimmed somewhat. Applied both. 2. With this release it is possible to use the original font metrics, without generating a special metrics file for FOP. See http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xmlgraphics-fop-dev/200611.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] There is no entry for this in the changes file, and there is no documentation on the website. It is important enough to clarify with the release. I will try to add some text to the changes file and perhaps something to the documentation. As I am not familiar with this material, if someone else can do a better job, please do. Change was already in the status file (but not on the web site).

Re: New FOP release: FOP 0.93
I created the documentation for version 0.93 (see src/documentation/content/xdocs/0.93) and edited it for the new release version. Please, check it. Especial attention is needed for the new release notes, src/documentation/content/xdocs/relnotes.xml, most of which still have to be written, the FAQ, src/documentation/content/xdocs/faq.xml, the main page of this release, src/documentation/content/xdocs/0.93/index.xml, and the upgrading page, src/documentation/content/xdocs/0.93/upgrading.xml.

As I am not familiar with this material, if someone else can do a better job, please do. Well, this is still sort of experimental. The old functionality is unchanged and stable. I'm not so sure about the part without the font metrics. There wasn't much feedback. If this is to be documented, I'd prefer if it is marked as experimental. After these changes I will create a branch. Manuel, can you hold your changes until the branch has been created? Please, let me know if you have different ideas.
