<http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/issues/list>.





      Installation Notes



  * Starting with DOMPDF 0.6.0 the dompdf.php script will no longer

    allow conversion of HTML document on the local file system that are

    located outside of the path specified by DOMPDF_CHROOT

    <http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/source/browse/tags/dompdf_0-6-0_beta3/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php#109>

  * If you are installing DOMPDF on top of an existing installation you

    should remove any existing font metrics. This can be done manually

    or through the sample website (www/fonts.php).

  * When upgrading to a new version of DOMPDF you must replace

    dompdf_config.inc.php with the new one. To simplify the upgrade

    process you can store your configuration settings in

    dompdf_config.custom.inc.php (which does not need to be overwritten).
