| <p>Last updated 02 July 2012.</p> |
| <p> |
| Apache™ FOP version 1.1rc1 (candidate) was released on 02 July 2012. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| <section> |
| <title>Development Status</title> |
| <p> |
| The FOP code base is gradually evolving, from Version 0.90, |
| released on 22 November 2005, to Version 1.1, expected to be released during |
| the Summer of 2012. Further releases in the 1.x series and beyond are expected. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| FOP releases prior to version 0.90 were based on a different |
| code base. The last release in that series was version 0.20.5, |
| released on 18 July 2003. This earlier series is no longer maintained. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If you are looking for future release dates, keep in mind that FOP is an Open |
| Source project and we're a combination of volunteers (working in our free time) and |
| sponsored contributors (generally focusing on our sponsor's needs). What we have |
| is an idea where we want to go. How fast we get there depends on the |
| available time, on how well our ideas work out while developing and on you! |
| There's a <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/RoadMap">document in the Wiki</a> |
| where ideas for new developments may be registered and documented. |
