information about the project.

FOP INTEGRATION?
The FOP integration is slowly progressing - design discussions have been 
going on, and FOP internals are being modified to allow easier integration of 
other formats besides PDF. There is currently no set date for when actual 
RTF/FOP code will be available to play with.

MOST IMPORTANT CHANGES IN V0.6.0
compared to 0.5.1 as there were no official releases since:

-Chris Scott's layout improvements (table borders etc) - see file 
jfor-0.5.2-demo.fo.xml under samples/cocoon/tests/release-demos for a demo of 
these new features.

-RTF template can be specified using a non-standard XSL-FO extension, see 
simple-stylesheet-and-template.fo.xml.

-Cocoon 2 navigation added for the sample files. 
Simply copy or link directory "samples" under the "mount" directory of a 
Cocoon 2 system and access it from http://...cocoon/mount/.

-Keep-together implemented for tables, see table-keep-together.fo.xml sample.

-ant target "testdocs" added to build the RTF documents that test the RTF 
library.

-Image-reading bug corrected, thanks to Michael Krause for his contribution!

-Various fixes, see changelog for more info.

Have fun!
