Welcome to issue 68 of the AbiWord Weekly News.

This week we got Win32 dialogs for the features added last week
and menu strings were moved into files loaded at runtime (for an
even slimmer executable). We also gained another feature, namely
“normal mode”, and finally I’d like to emphasize on our
(desperate!) search for someone to host a weekly BugDay on IRC.

Starting with this week’s issue, I’ll be posting bug counts from
the day the other bug details are collected. That means a long list
of closed bugs will be more visible in the statistics.

I’ve also decided to track the votes on bugs and feature
requests separately in the future. Hopefully we’ll see the bugs Top
10 change a lot more than what we’ve seen in the past. The feature
requests Top 10 is likely to change at the same old slow pace
though.

Finally, the last bugs nominated for 0.9.x have been moved to
1.0, and a new 1.2 category has been added. Don’t forget to cast
your votes on those bugs, people!

In this issue:

  • CVS Stats
  • Project of the Week
  • Bug Update
  • On the Mailing List
