AbiWord Weekly News #150

Submitted by stro on Sun, 2003-06-29 23:48. AbiWord

The remainders of GUADEC, the death of the hash downloader, a new preferences mock-up, 2.0 beta, anti-abi advertising, Mac OS X and that has nothing to do with the more interesting stories, like Linux going to Congo schools and Microsoft using DRM to lockout other office competitors, all of this and screenshots are waiting within.

Wooow ! Calm down !

You have no reason to feel that bad about the (humourous) note about GNOME and the panel

Read the associated mail and you will see :

"So I'd love to remove the --enable-gnome configure time option and always depend on GNOME."

This isn't likely to happen but refusing the removal of a GTK only version of Abiword does not mean that Abiword won't be integrated with GNOME. On contrary, if you read mails on abiword-devel, you'll understand that Abiword 2.0 should have a release date synchronized with Gnumeric 1.2 to get a embryonic GNOME Office. Further more, many new features targeted at Abiword 2.x like GConf support or use of goffice-libs lead me to think that Abiword will get even more integrated with GNOME in the next releases...
