Next release will be when the redesign is able to cover at least the same functionality as 0.20.5 (I think that's what we agreed). As we're undermanned no date can be given at the moment. Interested people can help speeding up the development by helping out on fop-dev (well, there are additional po

From: John Austin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is great work you have done in analysis of how properties work on the FO Tree. I don't think the redesign of this component will be trivial as there are trade-off's in performance due to the fact that the tree could be quite deep and the highest levels

FOP ~ PropertyList search gives linear performance

2003-11-18 Thread John Austin
Further to my notes on FOP performance characteristics of the PropertyList methods, it appears (afaik) that the design of this part of FOP exhibits linear tendencies. Properties are stored in a tree where each 'level' corresponds to a formatting object (fo:block, fo:table) which has local attri
