We are in the process of reviewing the bugs, patches and feature requests listed on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=132728) in order to integrate them into this document. We will prioritize the list below in a later version of this document. We welcome all feedback including suggestions for new features, existing bugs, and comments about prioritization of the items below.

One of our primary goals is to incorporate the plug-in into the core Toolkit functionality and to make the plug-in architecture more consistent with the rest of the Toolkit.

• Implement print=no 
• By default, plug-in can be located either in the demo directory or in the plugins directory 
• Fixed bugs in demo/fo/build.xml
  • Relative paths in dita.temp.dir are now supported
  • The user's classpath is now properly referenced - the plug-in will now find Saxon even if it is not in dita-ot/demo/fo/saxon.jar
• Improved ditaot/demo/fo/xsl/common/attr-set-reflection.xsl
  • Hardcoded paths are no longer required for built-in attribute sets
  • All functionality of standard attribute sets is now supported, including XSL code within an attribute set
• Created new file called demo/fo/cfg/fo/attrs/basic-settings.xsl which allows the user to easily change basic document settings such as font-size, page-size, and margins
• Changed demo/fo/cfg/fo/layout-masters.xml to layout-masters.xsl
  • Layout-masters.xml has been retained for backwards compatibility
  • Making layout-masters into an XSL file enables the usage of variables for information such as page size
• Supported later versions of DITA by checking if the version is 1.1 or 1.2
• Resolved Bug: 1733878 Idiom plugin requires units to be specified for SVG images by commenting out problematic code in commons.xsl
• **Transtypes for PDF processing have been changed within the DITA-OT**
  • PDF transtype now references FO plug-in code
  • PDF2 transtype still references FO plug-in code but is now deprecated
  • legacypdf transtype references old PDF processing code that was included with the toolkit
  • A notice in the processing output reminds the user that the PDF transtype is now calling the FO plug-in code

• Improve internationalization post-process
  • Add locale parameter to make fonts locale specific
  • Expand override size functionality
  • Provide documentation of the font post-processing functionality

• Improve glossary support
  • Grouping of glossary topics
  • Sorting of glossary topics
  • Related Bug: 1844240 Glossary Definitions eliminated during preprocessing
• Incorporate support for Antenna House and FOP
