 Hi all,

 In case you haven't heard yet: recently the FOP team (xml.apache.org/fop)
 agreed to accept the source code of jfor as a donation, in order to merge
 jfor into FOP.

 The goal is to allow FOP to generate RTF as well as PDF output, without
users
 having to download several packages.

 For us developers, it will mean taking advantage of FOP code, mainly
 regarding parsing and analysis of the input XSL-FO documents.

 This is going to take some time - currently I'm talking to the FOP team
about
 how to best integrate our code.

 We expect to release jfor V0.6 shortly, including Chris Scott's many
 improvements. V0.6 is most probably going to be the last standalone release
 of jfor before it is merged into FOP.
