“This week was a busy one for AbiWord. In CVS, there were a
total of 66 commits, from 12 different developers. Sadly, we
haven’t added any new names to the credits file since January 11th.

“The most significant change this week was the addition of the
Page Setup dialog. This was implemented for GNOME and GTK by Dom,
for Windows by Mike, and begun on QNX by Thomas. This is one of the
last dialogs that we need before we reach feature completeness, or
the point that we can begin working on releasing AbiWord 1.0.”

“Another big improvement this week was cutting and pasting
lists, and a significant expansion of the capabilities of
multi-level lists. Additionally, we are now able to export lists to
Rich Text Format. This significant improvement comes from Martin,
who gets the cool patch award for this week.”
