[ANN] RenderX: XEP 2.01 released, site updated

Dear all,

A new evaluation version of XEP (2.01) is now available for download from our
site (www.renderx.com). The site itself has also undergone major changes in both
the design and the contents. All examples and demos are now conformant to the
last XSL FO version (Candidate Recommendation).

The new version of XEP has several improvements as compared to the previous
one (XEP 1.02):

- it supports the fresh XSL FO specification (Candidate Recommendation
   of 21 November 2000);
- additional XSL FO functionality has been implemented;
- the code has been optimized to run faster;
- native PDFlib library calls have been replaced by pure Java code;
- font support is greatly improved:
  -- user fonts can be embedded;
  -- Unicode support is consistent and versatile;
- documentation has been improved: it now includes an XSL FO primer;
- Ant-based installation script is provided;
- extra examples and tools are included in the distribution:
   -- FO-to-HTML stylesheet;
   -- migration stylesheet to convert XEP 1.02 files to XSL FO CR.

New tests have been added to the Test Suite. Those include a number of
non-English examples (Armenian, Polish, Russian, Old Italian sample texts)
that may be of particular interest for international audience.

Best regards,
Nikolai Grigoriev
