Bugfix: Table headers were omitted when a table is a child of a block-container. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Bookmarks in PDF will be generated even if some bookmarks cannot be resolved. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: the interaction between the table FOs and properties package in determining initial values for column-number should be a one-time process, not repeated when the table is in a marker that is retrieved. Committed by AD. See Issue 39560.
Bugfix: All fonts names were converted unnecessarily to lower case in RTF output. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: The combination of hyphenation and kerning resulted in slightly ragged right ends for right-aligned and justified text. Committed by JM.

Bugfix: basic-links with internal destinations in documents with multiple page-sequences sometimes pointed at the wrong page. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Fixed ClassCastException when retrieve-marker is used as a direct child if static-content in which case leading and trailing white space is not properly removed. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Fixed OutOfMemoryException with long data URLs (RFC 2397). Committed by JM. See Issue 39285.
Enabled Copy/Paste from PDF content in Acrobat Reader for text using embedded TrueType fonts. Committed by BD. Thanks to Adam Strzelecki, Victor Mote. See Issue 5535.
Commented out unused properties, in order to minimize memory usage. Committed by SP. Thanks to Richard Wheeldon. See Issue 41044.
Removed unused attributes from TableCell. Committed by SP. Thanks to Richard Wheeldon. See Issue 41009.

Minor fix: correctly set negative values for ipd/bpd to zero. Committed by AD.
Rework of default column-creation / column-width setting from cells in the first row. Committed by AD. See Issue 35656.
Added relaxed validation for empty list-item-*, as suggested by Gary Reed. Committed by AD. Thanks to Gary Reed. See Issue 40270.
Modified proportional-column-width() function to log an error if used with table-layout=auto Committed by AD.
Changed the way overflowing pages are handled. The overflow property on region-body is now used to define the behaviour. Committed by JM.
The Java2DRenderer (and therefore the print and bitmap renderers) is now offering the same quality as the PDF and PS renderers. Note: There can still be little differences between PDF and Print/PNG/TIFF because the latter uses a different font metrics source. Committed by JM.
The default sRGB color profile provided by the Java class library is no longer embedded if it is encountered. This should reduce the PDF size considerably. Committed by JM.
Changed the internal representation of colors to use Java's own color infrastructure instead of FOP's home-grown classes. Committed by JM. Thanks to Max Berger. See Issue 38946.
Content in block-containers makes better use of shrink to fit content vertically into the available area. This can be used indirectly to justify content vertically in a block-container. Committed by JM.

Changes to the Code Base

Initial support for page-position="last" added. Committed by JM.
Reenabled loading of user-supplied hyphenation patterns that was available in FOP 0.20.5. (See "hyphenation-base" option in the user configuration) Committed by JM.
Added support for fixed-width spaces. Committed by JM.
Added support for kerning. Committed by JM.
Support for "userconfig" attribute in FOP Ant Task. Committed by JM. Thanks to Jirí Mareš.
Initial support for XMP metadata (PDF 1.4) under fo:declarations. Committed by JM.

Added support for the from-table-column() function. Committed by AD. Thanks to Gerhard Oettl (gerhard.oettl.at.oesoft.at). See Issue 38282.
New feature: "Intermediate format" (IF). The IF is basically the XML dialect written by the area tree renderer (XMLRenderer). A new parser for this format allows reparsing a serialized and possibly modified area tree and rendering it to the final target format. Committed by JM.
Relative URLs for the font configuration attributes metrics-url and embed-url are now supported. A new configuration property font-base has been added. It sets the base URL against which relative font URLs are resolved. If font-base is not set base is used. Committed by MM. See Issue 36729.
Added support for RFC2397 "data" URLs. Committed by JM. Thanks to Richard Wheeldon. See Issue 38132.
The font loading code now reads the encoding value from the XML font metrics file so that fonts like Symbol and ZapfDingbats can be embedded explicitely (Required by PDF/A). Committed by JM.
Added feature: support for white-space shorthand Committed by AD.
Added feature: support for page-break-* shorthands Committed by AD.
Bugfix: The generation of the PDF "d" (setdash) command was assuming that only integer values can be used but that isn't the case. Dash patterns PDFGraphics2D would be wrong in the process. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Fixed a division by zero problem in TTFReader and improved the detection of the capHeight and xHeight font metric values for TrueType fonts. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Allow URLs in basic-link's external-destination to be wrapped in "url()". Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Corrected enumerated property value for white-space property from "no-wrap" to "nowrap". Committed by MM.
Bugfix: Added support for white-space-treatment="preserve" in particular to support the white-space="pre" short hand property. Committed by MM. See Issue 38457.
Corrected expectation and behaviour for the text-indent property to only apply to the first line area generated by a block. Committed by JM.
Bugfix for invalid handling of ICC color profiles in JPEG images and for dealing with CMYK JPEG images with the Adobe APPE marker. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Certain filter combinations in PDF could lead to invalid PDFs. DecodeParams were not properly handled. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: CCITT Group 4 encoded TIFF images with multiple strips are now properly embedded in PDF files. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Fixed a copy/paste error in the table layout code that caused wrong page break decisions when table-headers and/or table-footers are used. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Fixed an NPE that was thrown when a table was used inside a footnote-body. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Fixed a problem with certain TrueType fonts which are missing the "PCLT" table, where a baseline-shift="sub" had no effect due to a missing x-height value. (Note: This only affects TTFReader, so the font metric file has to be regenerated.) Committed by JM.
Bugfix: When the base URL was specified as a file system path, the constructed URL was wrong. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Fixed two causes for ClassCastExceptions in BlockContainerLayoutManager. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: padding-top and padding-bottom on list-items could lead to wrong page break decisions and thus to overlapping text. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: break-before and break-after were ignored on list-items. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: The elements representing a non-breaking space weren't always correct. Committed by LF. See Issue 38507.
Bugfix: Text-decoration was not promoted if no text-decoration attribute was specified on a nested element. Committed by JM. See Issue 38453.
Bugfix: Spanned cells could lead to an false error message about overlapping cells and ultimately a NullPointerException. Committed by JM. See Issue 38397.
Bugfix: Regions with non-standard names got ignored in RTF output leading to missing headers and footers. Committed by JM.
The RTF output now properly generates the "\landscape" flag for documents in landscape orientation. Committed by JM.
Following a clarification by the XSL FO SG, space traits are only set on the first and last area generated by an FO, and not on every area anymore. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Floating point numbers were not properly formatted in the PDF renderer which could lead to error messages while opening a PDF in Acrobat Reader. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Spans that end up with a negative height don't get swallowed anymore. Committed by JM. See Issue 38054.
Bugfix: Certain border styles could lead to a NullPointerException. Committed by JM. See Issue 38132.
Bugfix: Space was not adjusted if the space was on a nested block. This could lead to content overflowing the bottom of a page. Committed by JM. See Issue 38102.
Bugfix: TableCell did not properly report that it generates reference-areas which could lead to wrong inherited values for start-indent and end-indent. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Image height for BMP images was incorrectly calculated Committed by MM. See Issue 38089.
Bugfix: NullPointerException on certain fo:inline within lists. Committed by MM. See Issue 38053.
Bugfix: ClassCastException on certain fo:inline with border combinations. Committed by MM. See Issue 37743.
Changed a method name in LineArea from finalize to finalise because it was never intended for the method to be an override of the Java Object finalize method. If invoked by the Java garbage collector it may cause a NPE. Committed by MM.
Implement property name as default argument on some xsl-function calls. Committed by SP. Thanks to Gerhard Oettl. See Issue 38098.
Implement force-page-count property of page-sequence. Committed by SP. Thanks to Gerhard Oettl. See Issue 38087.
Improvements to the code for inline block content. Committed by SP.
Revision of refinement white-space handling. Committed by AD.

Changes to the Code Base

Added checks that warn about tables and block-containers that are wider than the available content area. Committed by JM.
First attempt at SVG support in RTF output. SVG images are converted to 300dpi JPEG images internally. Committed by JM.
The command-line now automatically sets two parameters for any XSLT transformation: "fop-output-format" contains the MIME type of the currently selected output format, "fop-version" contains FOP's version number. Committed by JM.
Added an alternative set of rules for calculating text indents which tries to mimic the behaviour of many commercial FO implementations that chose to break the rules in the FO specification in order to better meet the natural expectations of inexperienced FO users. Committed by JM.
font-family list still not fully supported but a comma-separated list is now properly tokenized. FOP will now go through all fonts in the list to find one that is available, but it doesn't do so per character, yet. Committed by JM.
Implemented "Overconstrained Geometry" rules (5.3.4, XSL 1.0) for the most important cases. Committed by JM.
Support for leader painting in PostScript output. Committed by JM.
Support for hyphenation-ladder-count. Committed by LF, MM.
Fixed a bug where the linefeed-treatment property value "preserve" was not honoured when used in conjunction with text-align="center". Committed by MM.
Bugfix: hard breaks with even-page or odd-page were not handled correctly when spaces were surrounding the break. Committed by JM. See Issue 37964.
Fixed a bug where SVG content could be clipped when rendered to PostScript. Committed by JM.
Changed the way resolutions are handled. The single resolution in the user agent got split up into source and target resolutions. For more info, see the updated documentation. Note: backwards-incompatible change! Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Some content inside a table-header may not have been renderered on pages n > 1 in certain conditions. Committed by JM. See Issue 37875.
Fixed a bug where an empty line, i.e. a block containing only a  , was not rendered at all. Committed by MM.
Fixed a bug where the area for a finished cell that is broken over pages was created once for each row it was spanned over instead of only once. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Footnotes were lost if the footnote appeared in centered text. Committed by JM. See Issue 37880.
Fix to correct image sizes in RTF output. Committed by JM.
The output file is now deleted when an exception occurs when calling FOP from the command-line. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Areas for table-cells that are broken over more than one page are now generated even if all its content is already painted on a previous page. This fixes strange effects like a table grid that is not completely painted. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Column balancing produced strange break decisions in certain multi-column documents with large amounts of text. Committed by JM. See Issue 37828.
Bugfix: The combination of content-width="scale-to-fit" and content-height="100%" did not work as expected due to a datatype conversion bug. Committed by JM. Thanks to Tom Craddock. See Issue 37815.
Bugfix: A span="all" on the first block cause a subsequent page break and the first block didn't span all columns. Committed by JM. See Issue 37813.
Bugfix: Self-created OutputStreams in PNG Renderer were not properly closed. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Relatively positioned BlockViewports (from block-containers) caused the paint cursor not be be properly advanced when space-before or space-after were present. Committed by JM.
Bugfix: Space resolution was incomplete for content in table-cells. Conditional elements didn't get removed. Committed by JM.
The validation check for non-zero borders and padding on a region-* and for empty static-content elements is now turned off when relaxed validation is active to improve compatibility with FO documents written for other FO implementations. Committed by JM.
Bugfix for "/ by zero" ArithmeticExceptions when an URL to a non-existing image is used and content-width and/or content-height is used. Committed by JM.
Bugfix for a multi-threading problem: propertyListTable initialization moved from the constructor to a static block in FONode. This fixes NullPointerExceptions in PropertyList. Committed by JM.
Bugfix for placement of text inside a text area when borders are present in PostScript output. Committed by JM.
Deprecated Fop constructors that use integer constants to select the output format have been removed in favor or the constructors that use MIME types. Committed by JM.
Changed the XMLHandler interface so it doesn't report the MIME type it supports but instead can report whether it supports a particular Renderer implementation. XMLHandlers are now configurable. Committed by JM.
Improved log and error messages in a number of places by adding additional context information that should make it easier to find the location in the source files. Committed by JM.
Additional checks to detect text overflows. The overflow property is now properly handled where applicable. Committed by JM.
Source location information improved. If location information is not available, the context information is provided based on text content. Committed by JM.
The border-collapse property on fo:table is now forced to the value "separate" until the collapsing border has been implemented. Committed by JM.
Improvements on leader painting in PDF output. Committed by JM.
