“This week continued to be busy, with 43 new patches, from
17 different developers, going into the tree. We have 5 new
contribtors this week. Congratulations to Göran,
Christopher, Karl, David and Allen.”
“This week’s most significant patch was David Schmitter’s online
help, which provides access to our HTML help files from within
AbiWord. This fixes the POW from June 21, the last outstanding POW.
For this work, and for adding a feature needed for 1.0, David wins
this week’s $299 Patch Prize.”
“Also this week, Joaquin made several improvements in AbiWord
toolbar handling. The toolbars have now been divided into several
parts, and can be turned on or off individually. He also made
several improvements to the GNOME toolbars. These changes allowed
Martin to add new buttons for starting and stopping different kinds
of lists.”
“The BeOS build made significant progess this week, as
Christopher Plymire implemented both the Word Count and Insert Date
and Time dialogs, as well as providing several build fixes for
Be.”
