-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 After you waited for it patiently for almost six months, the libwpd developer community has the pleasure to announce you that libwpd 0.8.5, "reward for your patience", has been released.
This version adds, inter alia, header and footer conversion in WP5.x and WP3.x for Macintosh file formats. It also adds the support for footnotes and endnotes in WP5.x file format, improves the conversion of page margins and corrects issues with conversion of the position of tables and tabstops in multicolumn sections. This release fixes several bugs and annoyances. NOTE: libwpd-0.8.5 triggers a bug in AbiWordperfect <= 2.4.4, so it is best consumed with AbiWord > 2.4.4. Being a bugfix release, libwpd 0.8.5 is API compatible with all previous versions of 0.8.x series. You are naturally encouraged to upgrade as soon as this news comes your way. === libwpd is a C++ library designed to help process WordPerfect documents. It is most commonly used to import WordPerfect documents into other word processors (see below), but may be useful in other cases as well. libwpd is used by AbiWord (starting with version 2.2), OpenOffice.org (starting with version 2.0), and KOffice (starting with version 1.4). === Libwpd developer community P.S.: The complete ChangeLog for this version follows: CHANGES: 0.8.4 -> 0.8.5 - - Conversion of font face, size and colour in WP5 parser, including the default font information (Fridrich) - - Conversion of foot/endnotes in WP5.x format (Fridrich) - - Conversion of headers/footers in WP3 and WP5 parsers (Fridrich) - - Prevent negative paragraph margins due to page margin change. Removes the ugly text-border lines running across the text in OpenOffice.org (Fridrich) - - Make page margins constant between two hard page breaks (Fridrich) - - Convert page margin changes into section margins in multi-column sections - - Move absolute position values in multicolumn sections from whatever column they are in into the first one. Fixes the off-page position of the second table in 05mechanicalservice.wpd (Fridrich) - - Defer page span change to the end of the current paragraph if it is opened in order to prevent a paragraph break where it is not there in the original document (Fridrich) - - Fix http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10105, an incorrect conversion of table alignment in WP3.x file format (Fridrich) - - Fix small issue with incorrect number of pages in page-spans (Fridrich) - - Fix an issue with "==" operator for WPXPageSpan classes. The result is now the same independent on the order of the operands (Fridrich) - - Fix http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10279, a crash if a table from the middle of the tableList is in footnote and/or endnote (Marc, Fridrich) - - Add an option "--info" to wpd2text; called with this option, wpd2text dumps the information of the document instead of converting it. This could be useful for beagle (Fridrich) - - Refactoring of the listener structure and split of WPXListener into WPXContentListener and WPXStylesListener (Fridrich, Marc and Cyrille Moureau as a guest star) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEfrWMu9a1imXPdA8RAmtsAJ97zqdqjqE1ikiWVpfaIxNqRtUj1wCfXGYF cySUQYn8ZIQDl0GmxJ52Vuo= =uuxs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
