    Release notes for 1.99.2 - aka AbiWord-2.0 Beta2
    The AbiWord team continue to steam ahead for a world-rocking 2.0
    release. Thanks very much to bug reporters. We've now made many, many
    fixes to our first beta and thanks to Tomas Frydrych and his helpers we
    now have ligature support for fontsets that support them. Users are
    again invited to test AbiWord and report bugs found to
    http://bugzilla.abisource.com/

    Binaries for Windows and Linux for AbiWord 1.99.2 can be downloaded from
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15518&release_id=170621

    Enjoy!
