The latest version of Apache FOP is 2.9.[2] This is the eleventh stable release.

In addition, older XSL-FO 1.0 features are still not fully supported including automatic table layout, floats and more.

Apache FOP implements the <fo:float> element with some limitations.[4] In versions prior to 2.0, external graphics objects were limited to being drawn inline or in a block with no wrapped text.

Apache FOP supports the following output formats:
- PDF (best output support), including PDF/X and PDF/A with some limitations[5]
- ASCII text file facsimile
- PostScript
