“Welcome to the reinstated AbiWord Weekly News. The newsletter
has been extended with a few extra features, which should hopefully
make it an even more interesting reading than the previous
incarnations. In particular, we will focus more on bug status since
the average user is unlikely to be checking the bug database on a
regular basis.”
“This week the release of AbiWord 0.7.14 was finally announced
after having been simmering for about a month. We all wish for a
quicker release next time.”
“We have also started taking semi-nominations for bugs people
would like to see given high priority for the 0.9.x and 1.0
releases.”
“It’s also worth mentioning the work Martin has been doing in
the past weeks on the styles dialog. Pretty nifty stuff which we’re
sure will make the feature matrix look even better.”
“Finally, we’re doing rather good on sourceforge’s download top
10 – we’re number 6, averaging something like a couple of thousand
downloads a day.”
