      [Version 1.0b1 (06/05/02)]
          New features

              * Automatic table layout.

              * Collapsing border model.

              * Support of the <<<static-content>>> (<<<before>>> and
                <<<after>>> regions), <<<footnote>>> and <<<page-number>>>
                elements.

          Enhancements

              * Support of lists in table cells.

              * Full implementation of the separated border model.

              * Partial support of keeps and breaks properties.

              * Support of the <<<baseline-shift>>> property.

              * Support of the background color and border attributes of
                inline-level elements.

              * Better selection of a page master among alternatives.

              * Use of the bullet character (<<<\\u2022>>>) as default label
                in bulleted lists.

          Bug fixes

              * The font attributes of <<<basic-link>>> elements were ignored.

              * The <<<monospace>>> generic family was not bound to an actual
                monospaced font.

              * The list numbering type specification was not compatible with
                Word 97.

              * White space between two inline-level elements was entirely
                discarded.

              * The initial value of the <<<column-number>>> property did not
                consider row spans, possibly causing an incorrect table layout
                in some situations.

              * The initial value of the <<<border-*-color>>> properties was
                not properly set, possibly causing a
                <<<NullPointerException>>> in some situations.

              * XSL-FO extensions - e.g. <<<fox>>> - were not handled
                properly, resulting in an
                <<<ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException>>>.
