Apache FOP is an XSL-FO formatter. It is used in
conjunction with an XSLT transformation engine to
format XML documents into PDF, PostScript, and
other output formats.

The way in which the formatting object tree creates the area tree has radically changed to allow much easier support for keeps, etc. in the future, numerous bugs have been fixed, line breaks work within inline-sequences now, FOP now uses namespaces, the prefix "fo" is no longer hard-coded, this version supports all of the Latin-1 characters now as well as some others available in PDF, font metrics and character encoding mappings are specified in XML at compile time and basic display-graphic support is now in, but currently considered unusable.
This version is much faster. A 100-page test document that used to take 50 seconds in 0.9.x now takes 15 seconds. Some important bugs have been fixed, and text-indent, break-before, and break-after are implemented. This version is approaching actually being usable for real work.
