Release of Batik 1.7 Beta 1


Posted by heycam apropos implementations on Fri Mar 30th, 2007 at 07:50:01 BST

The Apache Batik team is proud to announce the long-awaited release of Apache Batik version 1.7beta1, a Java-based toolkit for processing SVG. This is the first release of Batik in approximately two years, and brings many new features and improvements over version 1.6.

Notable new features include:

  • DOM Level 3 Core/Events/XPath support
  • Improved WMF transcoder support
  • Near complete SMIL Animation support
  • A few SVG 1.2 features, such as:
    • resource documents
    • shapechange and RenderedBBoxChange events
    • SVGGlobal startMouseCapture/stopMouseCapture methods
    • handler elements

Batik can be downloaded from here:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/download.cgi

For the full list of improvements and bug fixes over version 1.6, click on the "release change log" link from that page.

The reasoning behind having a beta release rather than a full release is that there has been a great deal of changes since version 1.6, and while we believe the code to be reasonably stable, it would be beneficial to get feedback from users on any bugs that may have been missed. We plan to have a full 1.7 release in a month or two.

If you find any problems, please file bug reports:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi

And for more information, see the Batik project website:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/

Thanks,

Cameron

Only been playing around with this for a while, but it appears the SMIL Animation support is a massive improvement. Has anyone else been toying yet?

Great to see the expansion. Seems it was worth the wait. Dave Davis

I'd love to try the Beta, but I'm going to give it a while and wait until the full release. Last time I tried something in beta I ended up formating a hard drive. Thank you, Drew

Batik is simply hands down the best toolkit for processing SVG, i'm only new to it but starting to love it. Any ideas when a V2.0 is coming out, or when this version will be out of Beta? Also do you have a future changelog, or what may be implemented in the next version? Thanks. SEO & Ringtones

I am used to the old one but will give this a try. As with every update I have a hard time learning the new features but after a while it becomes easy to use.
