The Apache FOP team is proud to present to you the first production grade release of the new FOP codebase. This release has the new API first introduced in release 0.92 beta. It contains again many bug fixes and new features.

Welcome Vincent Hennebert!

A second "beta" grade release of the new FOP codebase with a modified and now considered stable API. The release contains many bug fixes as well as new features mainly related to even more extensive support of the XSL-FO specification. This is expected to be the last "beta" release before we go to a 1.0 release!

One month after the initial release we're happy present a "beta" grade release of the new FOP codebase. It's mostly a bug fix release but also contains a few new features. Thanks to all those who sent us feedback on the initial release!

The Apache FOP team is proud to present to you the largely rewritten codebase which is finally in a state where you can start to use it. It has taken over three years to get this far and over two years without a new release from the FOP project.
