I want to thank everyone for their hard work and effort as always. Thanks to all of your hard work, AbiWord is an amazing product. I'm here announcing the 0.9.0 release. The CVS tag is release-0-9-0 I'd appreciate it if people would start building binaries, if they are so inclinded to do so for their favorite platforms. People should use the new spell-checking to turn my en-US favorite into an en-GB favourite if they'd like to too :-) Release notes will come sometime tomorrow. I'm hoping for quick, short, mainly bugfix release cycles during the 0.9.x series, until we get to an acceptably low bug count for 1.0 And, just so RMS (Scott) doesn't have to say it: if you can, please sign your binaries. He's posted instructions in the past on how to do so, so just search the ML archives. 'gpg -b mypackage.tar.gz' rpm has a --sign option too, if that happens to be your distribution of choice. Once again, thanks to all the people who have made this possible. 0.9.0 rocks, and it's due to the hard work of hundreds of people. Let the hoopla begin! Dom
