Okay, but you said yourself that the adjustments you made to tables has probably broken some other things, so we would need to go through a RC, and bug fix cycle.
It works for me for generating PDF for quite some time. I get NPE when reloading a FO source in the AWT appilcation, but this maz have other reasons, I didn't try to track it down. As yet untested is how the patch works with rowspan cells, especially if a rowspan cell is broken across pages. But then, there are issues with rowspan cells broken across pages without the patches. Yes, a RC stage would be necessary. But I think if there are problems which are not in 0.20.5, and it's not absolutely obvious how to fix them, we just tell people to continue to use 0.20.5.
