It's in the current trunk code and (unfortunately) there was no 1.7.1 release. Currently things are moving on and I hope there will be a 1.8 release (see bug 50045 [2]) in a not-so-far future. ;-) > Hmm, that’s sad, because I managed to handle several > problems now – but the requirement of a java.policy file on the user’s > computer is a real showstopper. How stable are current SVN-Releases that > include the fix? Is it possible to use them in a productional environment? IMHO using the SVN checkout and/or a nightly build [3] is already better than the 1.7 release as there were a few notable bugs (such as this one) fixed since the release. But of course that not being released yet means exactly that. So it is possible to use in production *but* you are the one which should evaluate and assume the risk. Nevertheless, if you are not willing to take the risk, you may simply download/checkout the 1.7 release code and simply patch your working copy (taking a look at the modification made by Thomas [1], it should be quite similar if not exactly the same). ;-) > Thanks again, > > Roland Hope this helps, Helder [1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=677245 [2] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50045 [3] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/download.cgi#Current+development+snapshot --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
