Re: FOP 0.15.0 Release

[Jiri Jirat <Jiri dot Jirat at idoox dot com>]

Hello,
 we have tested your new release. It looks wonderful,
but there is a small problem:

Of course, the first file I have tried was "images.fo"
(obviously, isn't it :-))..

Unfortunately, it expects the "graphics" directory
elsewhere. A symbolic link solved the problem,
but I guess it would be better to change the
distribution :-)

Best regards
Jirka

P.S.: My first impressions are superb.
