“This week saw lots of tree activity, with 27 checkins from 8
different developers. Congratulations to Lauris, a new developer
this week.”

Without question, the major commit of the week was from
Martin, who finally added robust field support to AbiWord.

This is a feature that has been plaguing us for a long time, and
one of the last major hurdles before feature-completeness. Much
gratitude is due Martin, who clearly wins the patch of the
week.”

“In what was a big week for him, Martin also cleaned up the list
code significantly, using his new field implementation. This fixed
a number of serious bugs with lists, meaning that they are now
enabled in non-debug builds and will be a feature in 0.7.12, when
it is released.”
