Re: Implementing shapes using pyabiword in write activity of olpc laptops

HI Summit,
               SVG images are not supported in abiword 2.6.8. They are
supported in pyabiword 2.7.7 and of course svn trunk, our development
branch. We're continually making improvements to this feature right
now to get it ready for our next big release 2.8. libAbiWord-2.8 and
pyabiword-2.8 will be part of the next sugar release provided we can
hit our deadlines.

However right now, I'm confident abiword-2.7.7 has fewer bugs than
abiword-2.6.8 and we're continually improving things.

Cheers

Martin
