This week AbiWord 0.9.1 was released, and we'll probably see a
0.9.2 early next week after some Windows build problems have been
fixed.
No, 0.9.1 is not a brown paper bag release, but simply the
result of the developers deciding to make very frequent releases in
0.9.x series until 1.0 is reached.
These 0.9.x releases, however, will not always be accompanied by
binaries for all platforms. Of course, as more and more bugs get
fixed during the 0.9.x cycle, we may see point-releases with
accompanying binaries before 1.0.
Seeing as we're now in the 0.9.x cycle, I'd like to (yet again)
ask people (users, developers, lurkers - the whole shebang) to go
to the bug list in BugZilla and cast your votes for bugs you'd like
to see fixed. The present list of priorities has not really changed
for a long time (other than the bugs on it that have been nailed
recently). This is your chance to voice your (personal) direction
of the bug fixing effort! See below for details..."
