docx4j 3.2.0 - beta 2 is out

[jason]

A beta of docx4j 3.2.0 is now available.

I may have made it a 3.1.0 maintenance release, except that it adds an additional dependency:

http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetail ... 0%7Cbundle

(which you can manually download from that link if you aren't using Maven, or it doesn't fetch it for you)

The jars are at:

http://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/docx4j-3.2.0-beta.jar

http://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/docx4j- ... 0-beta.jar

Please try these and post any feedback ASAP. That way, the actual release is more likely to accommodate any concerns you may have.

Depending on feedback received, the goal is to make the actual release within the next fortnight.

I will update this post tomorrow with a summary of changes.

thanks .. Jason

FO/PDF output: miscellaneous improvements, including:

header/footer height calculation
Support for table row w:cantsplit property
ParagraphStylesInTableFix enhancements
support FOP config font substitutions
formatting of list item label

PDF events
PDF (non XLST): support nested tables

Create a suitable ConversionSectionWrapper, when continuous sectPr encountered, by using header/footer details from the previous sectPr

In HTML|FO\PDF output, ensure tblPr is not null - Try to behave gracefully if broken style is encountered (ie missing @w:type or @w:styleId)
w:br in FO output: Handling of vertical space

31m0c0e45d *API change* getContents now throws Docx4JException, instead of returning null in the case of error.


New docx4j.properties
---------------------

# PDF output; ability to specify font substitutions. See src/samples/_resources

Other Changes (non-exhaustive)
------------------------------

31m0700196 preset Shape definitions

31mdbf7dee StyleUtil: changes to isEmpty and apply semantics for Style objects

31m3845825 StyleUtil changes: - change to isEmpty semantics for Integer, BigInteger so that a value of 0 is not treated as empty (since otherwise eg spaceAfter 0 isn't applied) - pPr includes sectPr, so add PARTIAL implementation of areEqual and apply for sectPr

31mea22fb6 make jc final. it's used in a lot of places but only assigned once. (apixandru)

31m8edaddf For Oracle Java 8, use com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl and com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
