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.

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.
