I have my old FOP FAQ here http://www.owal.co.uk/cgi-bin/fopfaq.cgi but it 
looked like someone else was producing a new one. Should I keep updating my 
old FAQ?

Correct.
Could you please let me know if they will be solved maybe in the next-next
release :-)?
Maybe, but I don't think it is very likely. I hazard a guess
there will be another maintenance release in three months or
so, but it doesn't look like the redesigned core will be
ready for production by then.

Hallo Christian,
I am wondering if the problem with the properties keep-with-next for blocks
is now solved or not (feature currently officially "broken").
Am I right to understand that they are not solved in this release?
Could you please let me know if they will be solved maybe in the next-next
release :-)?

Thank you very much,

Costantino Sertorio

Hi all,

the Release Candidate for 0.20.4 is available at
http://xml.apache.org/dist/fop for downloading and testing.

It is planed to make the actual release in about a week (or two?)
if no serious bugs show up.

Changes since 0.20.3 include:

- Support for background-image
- FOP should now work with any JAXP1.1 compliant parser/transformer
- The following JARs have been updated: Xerces to version 2.0.1, Xalan
   to version 2.3.1 and Batik to version 1.5beta2.
- Fop has been compiled with Jimi support
- Logging has been changed from LogKit to Avalon's Logger Interface
- New hyphenation patterns: turkish, portuguese and czech
- FOP should now work on a EBCDIC maschine
- Support for comma-separated values for the font-family property
- Russian and Czech messages for AWTViewer

For details see CHANGES file:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/CHANGES?rev=1.10.2.19


Feedback/bugreports are welcome especially (but of course not limited)
for the following issues:

- compiling FOP with Jdk1.4 under Windows
- running FOP on a EBCDIC maschine
- running FOP from Win98/ME command line
- processing FOP generated PDFs with RIP engines/preflight (?) tools
- custom font loading with BaseDir property


Needs to be done for the release:
- check documentation (new jar versions, classpath etc.)
- anything missing in Release Notes/CHANGES ?
  (apart from fixing my english ;-)


Enjoy,
Christian
