AbiWord v2.7.7 Released
The AbiWord team joyfully announces AbiWord v2.7.7, the 8th snapshot of
the development series that will lead to AbiWord 2.8.
This snapshot allows interested developers, testers and users a sneak
preview into the future of AbiWord.
The changes from v2.7.6 to v2.7.7 include, amongst others:
# Port the Cairo+Pango based renderer that is used by AbiWord on Linux
to Mac OS X. This solves a whole list of longstanding rendering and
layout problems that existed in our Mac OS X version. Note that we do
not yet provide binaries for Mac OS X, but developers might be
interested in looking at the port.
# Allow SVG images to be used as positioned objects, to be copied and
pasted, and to be exported to HTML.
# Improve the handling of Smart Quotes.
# Support mail merge fields and page size/page orientation in the Office
Open XML importer. Support JPEG images in the exporter.
# Make the equation editor available on Windows again.
The full Changelog can be found here.
We are very much interested in any bug you may find. Please report these
to http://bugzilla.abisource.com/.
While we encourage people to try out the new snapshot, please be aware
that is a development snapshot and is not expected to be stable in any
sort of way.
