AbiWord-1.1.4 has been released!
This version of AbiWord is basically feature complete for the final 2.0.
It offers substantial new features and tons of bug fixes over 1.1.3.
It can be downloaded from http://www.abisource.com
Many people find it stable enough enough for everyday use but we really
want lots of testing. Please report any bugs found to
http://bugzilla.abisource.com
We have built binaries for Windows, QNX and Redhat 8.0 GTK-only. We have
an excellent Gnome2.2 port but we have not made a binary for it because
RedHat 9 with it's Gnome 2.2 features is not released yet. To build it
you'll need Gnome 2.2 plus gal 1.99 or later.
Among the highlights since 1.1.3.
Layout of text is now fully independent of resolution. We
guarantee 100% WYSIWYG at all zoom levels and for printed documents. -
