Release Notes:
The AbiWord team is proud to announce the release of version
0.9.0 of AbiWord. The release marks the count down to version 1.0.
While we are not in feature freeze, we will no longer make
substantial changes to the tree. We anticipate making a number of
more rapid releases as we squash bugs on the way to version
1.0.
Users will find this release is much faster and uses far fewer
resources. There have also been a number of bug fixes and feature
additions over 0.7.14.
Multi-lingual users will find the on-the-fly spell checking
particularly useful for spell checking documents written in several
languages.
