AbiWord v2.6.4 Release Notes

AbiWord v2.6.4 Released

AbiWord 2.6 is a multi-platform word processor that combines state-of-the-art usability, powerful features, and excellent interoperability. Furthermore, it features a powerful framework for supporting custom extensions. AbiWord v2.6.4 is the latest stable release, which compared to v2.6.3 contains a good number of bugfixes.

This release includes the following changes (and more!):

Fix a long-standing plug-in loading issue on Windows (this closes more than 20 separate bug reports).

Fixed inconsistent text rendering and layout with different zoom levels on Unix platforms.

The usual set of OpenDocument filter updates, most notably the added ability to import MathML formulas.

Include experimental collaboration support using the AbiCollab.net web service (disabled by default as we expect some final protocol changes are needed; feel free to compile and play with it though!).

Add the ability to export specific pages and page ranges on the command line using the PostScript and PDF exporters on Linux.

Example: abiword <file> --to=pdf --exp-props="pages:1-5,7-9"

The full changelog can be found here.

Note for Windows 95, 98 and ME users: AbiWord 2.6 is currently not available for your operating system. Please continue using AbiWord 2.4.6 instead.
