AbiWord

This release has seen a lot of bugfixes, polish, and cleanups as we are
nearing the end of the 2.2 release cycle. We are working hard towards
AbiWord v2.4, which is shaping up nicely.

This release is mostly a bugfix release, with some minor new features.
The changes from 2.2.7 to 2.2.8 include, amongst others:

  • Make Text Folding actually work
  • Fix text justification on MacOSX
  • Initial support for the OpenDocument (.odt) file format

The full Changelog can be found here.

All users are advised to upgrade to this new release. Windows users are
advised to uninstall older versions first, and to make sure there are no files
left behind[1].

[1] The default installation location is "c:\Program Files\AbiSuite2". Please
remove it completely to make sure no old plugins are left in place.
Make sure you don't accidentally delete your important documents
that you might have stored there.

Ps. We are looking for people to help us maintain some of the binary packages,
such as the Autopackage. If you think you can help out, feel free to drop by on irc,
or send a mail to one of our mailing lists.

Debian and Ubuntu version?

Can/should the autopackage be used in a debian or ubuntu system? If so, how does one install the autopackage?
