“This week saw significant progress in several areas, with a
total of 37 new patches going into the tree, from 11 different
developers. Congratulations to our two new developers, Mike and
Michael.”

“Two very large patches went into the tree this week. Joaquin
improved the Goto dialog , making it modeless. Martin also improved
opon it. This is the end of the POW from October 3 of last year
(the oldest currently outstanding).”

The other large commit was the change by Jamie Montgomerie
to use libOLE2 in the Word importer. This should open the way to an
extremely useful Word exporter as well.
Unfortunately, this
change broke both the BeOS and FreeBSD builds – fixes are actively
being worked on.”
