How about making the 'Single Units' default and fixup that feature?(..and add it to the list )AbiWord development has been progressing at a marvelous clip and it's getting to the point where we should put another big, fancy DOT-OH release out there.These past 8 months or so have seen an absolutely tremendous amount of work. The 2.0 release will be focussed on stabilizing and polishing those new features, adding a few remaining features, and making sure that we haven't regressed with regard to our previous (1.0) feature set. I said this before I released 1.0 - "This isn't to mark the end of AbiWord development, it marks the beginning." Well, 2.0 marks an incremental advancement towards that mythical end. 2.0 will have bugs. 2.0 will lack features. This is to be expected. But we promise to do our best to keep the nasties to a minimum and incorporate missing features into future releases. Target Platforms: Win32 *NIX (Linux, BSD, Solaris, XDarwin in particular) QNX If the MacOSX/Cocoa build progresses substantially, we might have an "experimental" release of it. I will not hold back the 2.0 release on MacOSX's behalf. At present, I'm using bug 4468 as a tracker bug for many of the issues that stand in the way of the 2.0 release. 4468 is not complete, but we'll work on making it better represent how we want 2.0 to come out. Expected New Features (in addition to our current feature set): * Better mail merge UI * Gnome Port (GnomePrint, GAL toolbar widgets, and the Bonobo control only for now) Expected polish/bugfix/improved 2.0 features: * Tables (UI, interaction, imp/exp) * Footnotes (needs imp/exp to RTF, DOC) * Endnotes (make work again, imp/exp) * Revisions (make work properly, imp/exp) * BiDi * XFT fonts on unix * Unix printing * OpenOffice importer/exporter * Mail merge * Barbarisms Expected polish/bugfix/improvements over 1.0 features: * HTML import/export * GTK2 UI (ideally remove any deprecated widgets/functions, make work on both GTK 2.0 and 2.2) * XSL-FO import/export * Spelling problems * Help problems * Crash problems
