There are 6 such objects: fo:character fo:leader fo:table-and-caption fo:table-header fo:multi-case fo:wrapper 2.A second category of tasks will be to update existing objects. This typically entails renaming modifications. There are at least 3 of these: fo:page-sequence-master fo:single-page-master-reference fo:repeatable-page-master-reference 3.A third category of tasks is to retire obsolescent objects. The primary issue here seems to be the migration of FOP from officially supporting DisplayGraphic and InlineGraphic FO's to officially supporting at least an ExternalGraphic FO, and ideally also the InstreamForeignObject FO, the latter aimed at SVG support. 4.A fourth, and not insignificant, category of tasks is to decide upon and implement all reasonable properties required by the specification. This also means that at this point, until further review, no FO can be considered to be compliant. a) CHANGED 21.space-after.optimum (Incomplete) 22.space-before.optimum (Incomplete) 25.white-space-treatment (Dropped/Changed) b) NEW 1.alignment-adjust 26.min-width 2.baseline-identifier 27.number-columns-repeated 3.baseline-shift 28.number-columns-spanned 4.block-progression-dimension 29.number-rows-spanned 5.character 30.orphans 6.clip 31.overflow 7.column-number 32.page-break-after 8.content-type 33.page-break-before 9.direction 34.precedence 10.display-align 35.ref-id 11.dominant-baseline 36.reference-orientation 12.font-variant 37.region-name 13.format 38.relative-align 14.grouping-separator 39.role 15.grouping-size 40.rule-style 16.inline-progression-dimension 41.source-document 17.keep-with-previous 42.space-after 18.leader-length 43.space-before 19.leader-pattern 44.space-end 20.letter-value 45.space-start 21.line-stacking-strategy 22.master-name 47.visibility 23.max-height 48.widows 24.max-width 49.writing-mode 25.min-height 50.z-index 5.A fifth category of tasks is the ongoing effort to promote maintainability, write more and better documentation, and to refine the build process. a) Don't use 'make' any longer and make sure that build.sh and build.bat work b) Add the property files to the source code (how is the vote on this?) c) update the examples to the new spec d) add examples so that all the FOs supported are used in some example **** Bugs **** - SVG linearGradients don't appear the same as in other SVG Viewers - colour not continued onto subsequent pages if coloured block goes over page - no SVG support in AWTCommandLine - keep-next doesn't work and doubles the text lines which should be moved to the next page - pdf files created with Fop don't print correctly on postscript printers - lists containing list do not keep their indentation correctly over a page boundary with AWT Previewer: - currently the layout process uses PDF fonts. This gives sometimes trouble with java.awt.Font - we need some progress messages even if the process itself is fast - GIF format is supported by the viewer, but disabled in FOP. BMP is not done, because there are no standard libraries. - more comments/english comments - first preview is painted twice (flashing screen) - should "preview" be an option when calling FOP instead of having it's own main method? **** HISTORY **** Done since 0.13 release - pagination updated to 03/27/2000 XSL WD [Arved Sandstrom] - added support for fo page-number-citation [Mike Crowe, Jordan Naftolin] - added support for 06/29/2000 SVG WD + W3C Java DOM bindings [Keiron Liddle] - added image support using Jimi [Eric Schaeffer] - added support for external and internal simple-links [Jordan Naftolin] - added support for the fonts Symbol and ZapfDingbats [Fotis Jannidis] - added a MessageHandler [Fotis Jannidis] - fixed table overflow bug [Jordan Naftolin] - finally fixed postscript printing of generated PDF [Domagoj Cosic] - removed XTCommandLine from build.xml - removed PDFOutputHandler from build.xml - added XalanCommandLine [Fotis Jannidis] - added: fo:instream-foreign-object [Keiron Liddle] - added: goto button in AWT viewer [Stanislav Gorkhover] - updated: AWT viewer now works again and support - with some restrictions - the new SVG support [Stanislav Gorkhover] Done since 0.12.1 release - using Ant to build Fop instead of make [Giacomo Pati] - borders, padding and absolute positioning [Jon Smirl] 0.12.1 release to make the bug fix on XTCommandLine available to non developers basic support for padding-{top,left,bottom,right} on blocks. implemented simple-link (don't think it works, though) XTCommandLine now works again background color works on list-block list-blocks can now be in table-cell Done for 0.12.0 release: Make sure Makefiles work Switch to using Status object as return from layout() Incorporate Eric Schaeffer's fix to tables in static-content Incorporate Kelly Campell's fixes to GifJpegImage Incorporate Eric Schaeffer's background colour implementation (actually used different approach with background colour as trait)
