Hi Bill,
Yes, FOP 0.95 tries to do a better job, but if you look at the details:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/graphics.html#png
-------8<-------
PNG
PNG images are supported through an Image I/O codec. Transparency is supported
but not guaranteed to work with every output format.

And that means:
-------8<-------
Image I/O
The image loading framework in XML Graphics Commons provides a wrapper to load
images through the JDK's Image I/O API (JSR 015). Image I/O allows to
dynamically add additional image codecs. An example of such an add-on library
are the JAI Image I/O Tools available from Sun.

So you still need JAI or jimi to do the actual work. Without it, no graphics in
your PDF's
Thanks,
Jaap

Re: the changes to remove the "for fop 0.20.5 only" notes
such as:
-JIMI (for PDF generation with fop 0.20.5 only)
+JIMI (for PDF generation)
My understanding is that 0.95 doesn't require JIMI & etc.
Is there something special about the Wireshark docbook stuff that does
require JIMI when using FOP 0.95 (or am I missing something) ??
From: the FOP 0.95 release notes:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/releaseNotes_0.95.html
"...
The image libraries Jimi and JAI are no longer needed (and used) for
image loading. Instead we rely completely on the Image I/O API that has
been introduced with Java 1.4. If you still need support for bitmap
image formats that do not work out-of-the-box, we recommend adding JAI
Image I/O Tools (an Image I/O compatible image codec package) to the
classpath. ...."
