Dom and all Congratulations. I looked, and did not find 1.0 binaries on the web site.
I should have realized that platform specific binaries for 1.0 won't be posted for a while. Can you tell us what is a reasonable time to wait before we should expect 1.0 binaries for Windows? I'm very interested in Linux (I'd love to have a .deb package, but I know that has to wait for the Debian person to build and make the .deb package, or do it myself. Umph, That is not a bad idea. I'll take a stab at that after this week.) --David ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dom Lachowicz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "AbiWord Developer List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "AbiWord User List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 6:03 PM Subject: ANNOUNCE: RELEASE 1.0!!! >From the "I don't think you're ready for this jelly department" AbiWord 1.0 aka. "Bootylicious" is released upon the masses. Exactly 70000 years ago next Tuesday the first AbiWord project started. The project lasted 341 years and 5 days and attracted the interest of developers throughout the world. The goal of the project, then as now, was to create a means of communication that could be used any place, any time, and by any person. Or maybe it was to create fire - may never know. Unfortunately, the project failed repeatedly to reach Version 1. Nonetheless, AbiWord is proud of its ancestor and dedicates the release of Version 1 to the memory of all those ancient developers who gave their lives to the pursuit of free speech, warmth, and caves. cvs rtag release-1-0-0 abi abidistfiles abispell/ abiword-docs/ abiword-plugins/ expat/ libiconv/ libpng/ MSVC6/ nsis/ psiconv/ unixfonts/ wv zlib/ (cvs tag is release-1-0-0) Early draft at a press release attached, will be posted to news sites once binaries are up on SF.NET and/or Savannah. Appreciate help and feedback on the press release. The website, release notes, and press release will go out (hopefully) sometime tomorrow. The tree is reopened. What better way for me & Hub to celebrate our birthdays? :-) Enjoy!
