Re: [Bug 1019621] Re: Precise abiword version needs to be reverted to stable release prior to 12.04.1

[msevior]

Hi everyone,

abiword-2.8.6 will not break an abiword-2.9.2 configuration.

If you can't roll back to 2.8.6 your should at least upgrade to 2.9.3
which has far fewer bugs.

Cheers

Re: [Bug 1019621] Re: Precise abiword version needs to be reverted to stable release prior to 12.04.1

[msevior]

Hi everyone,
To be fair, the really bad, bad bugs like this one appeared after the
most recent gtk-3 (3.2?) release that introduced smooth scrolling by
default. You likely tested abiword before then. That change badly
affected abiword and we've battling it ever since. While current
abiword-2.9.3 is much better it still has a number of issues. Since
abiword-2.8.6 uses gtk-2 it is not affected.

Abiword-2.9.2 does have new features not implemented in 2.8.6 but it
sounds so bad it hard for me to think anybody has used it much.

Cheers

Martin

Re: [Bug 1019621] Re: Abiword flickers hard when scrolling (regression)

[msevior]

Hi Eric,

As maintainer of abiword I urge you to switch to abiword-2.8.6. Debian
testing has moved on to 2.9.3 which is a considerable improvement of
2.9.2 but it still contains many bugs. On the other hand
Debian-testing is for people who want to help software projects by
providing feedback rather than have code that "Just Works".
I think that most Ubtuntu users are in this category though.

Cheers,

Martin

Re: [Bug 804169] Re: Smooth scrolling can't be disabled

[msevior]

Hi Robert,

As you can see from Charlie's reply, this bug won't ever be fixed in
12.04. You'll have to either wait till the next Ubuntu release or
switch to a different distribution. The abiword community recommends
you stick with version 2.8.6. You can get it in Fedora 17.

Dear Charlie,

As I have said many times it has been quite frustrating that Ubuntu
distributed the development version of abiword (2.92) without
consulting the abiword community at all. That being the case, please
tell us your plan to release a version of abiword without all these
bugs.

Best regards,

Martin Sevior

Dear Christopher and canoncial,

It iflls me with frustration that Canonical chose to distribute our
development version of abiword, abiword-2.9.2 with your 12.04 LTS
distribution. This was done without any consultation with the abiword
community AT ALL. Please revert to version 2.8.6. Failing this please

does not release updates either.

Re: [Bug 1003718] [NEW] [12.04 - 12.10] (lubuntu) abiword is crashing when pasting directly into it without any other action

Hi everyone,

AbiWord-2.9.2 is very much a development release and should never have
been included in Ubuntu-12.04. Please revert to abiword-2.8.6

Sorry, I don't understand the process here. We've done a lot of work
to enhance abiword and fix bugs. Our best abiword is version 2.8.4.

Why are you even considering 2.8.1, 2.8.2 or 2.8.3 when we've
identified and fixed many bugs in all those versions?

Do you want to develop abiword yourselves?

Just Curious,

Martin

HI everyone,

While it useful to warn users about this, I can't but think that the
Ubuntu process is *really broken*. An extremely simple fix for this
exists. All you have to do is ship abiword-2.8.4! Fedora 12 has no
problem at all with this and I use it every day.

Hi Martin,

Those are all excellent bug fixes in our stable release cycle. 2.8.x.

Please upgrade to 2.8.4 it is far better and safer than 2.8.1.

Cheers

Re: [Bug 564722] Re: No support for OpenDocument texts when upgrading from 2.6

[msevior]

Hi Milan,

Sorry I have no idea what is being shipped with Ubuntu. Certainly
abiword-2.8 has far better odt support than 2.6.x. I make development
builds of abiword all the time and odt support works very well. I use
abiword-2.8.4 several times a day for real work in Fedora 12 where odt
and docx support works fine. I wrote of what my guess of what the
issue was (no opendocument plugins) if it is not that I'm stumped.

This bug is caused by a failure to package the abiword plugins. In
particular the OpenDocument import/exporter.

Re: [Bug 519541] Re: Abiword 2.8.1 freezes with document lost when help is clicked or F1 is pressed

[msevior]

We've made a couple more releases with important bug fixes since then.
We're up to 2.8.3 in Fedora 12 and we'll likely release 2.8.4 within a
day.

Maybe we could ask our Debian friends to package 2.8.3 and see if the
bug persists.

Cheers

Martin

Hi everyone,

I can also confirm that this is packaging bug. It works fine on Fedora
12. I suggest you see if it occurs in Debian.

Fwd: [Bug 430870] Re: Abiword crashes when opening a file (Karmic, i686).

Apparently pulseaudio has serious problems and needs to be fixed.

To: msev...@gmail.com


I also had this problem with Abiword every time I clicked on a menu. I
used Synaptic to uninstall pulsaudio which also uninstalled ubuntu-
desktop. Then I installed everything for ALSA I could find in Synaptic.
I just mean ALSA not the plugins and stuff to media players and stuff.
Then I rebooted.

Abiword works perfectly now. Before uninstalling pulsaudio I was also
having a problem with the panels locking up sometimes when I'd boot up
Ubuntu. That problem is gone now. May be the best thing to do is just
uninstall pulsaudio.

AbiWord hooks into the GNOME system for sound events. You can set
things like emit a beep when a document opens. Hence the connection to
pulseaudio.

This is caused by a bug in gtk+

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606009

This has been fixed in the latest stable release of gtk+ and is
available on Fedora 12.

I recommend Ubuntu upgrade to the latest stable release of gtk

HI Steve,

I just tested this.

AbiWorrd-2.8 loads this file. You should release AbiWord-2.8 to fix this
bug.

This is a bug in a combination of evince and libgnomeprint. Since
libgnomeprint is unmaintained you have a better bet getting evince to
work correctly. I suggest you file the bug against evince.

[Bug 202174] Re: Please update to version 2.6

[msevior]

A few more points to support the inclusion of abiword-2.6.0 in th
eupcoming Unbuntu release.

This is a major update. Asking for a changelog is insane. It has be in
excess of 100,000 LOC. There is no way anyone is going to be able to
review that.

We have fixed hundreds of bugs since 2.4.6 which have not and will not
be backported to 2.4.x. The 2.4.x series is dead as far as we're
concerned.

Our windows 2.6.0 release is now out in the wild. We have registered
over 300,000 downloads already. AbiWord-2.6.x will be included in
upcoming fedora, Mandriva and SUSE release.

AbiWord 2.6.x includes a brand new real-time collaborative editing
feature which allows Windows, fedora, SUSE and Mandriva users to
simultaneously edit their documents in real time.  This feature has
received rave reviews on OLPC machines (where it is included as the
within the Write word processor). If Ubuntu does not include 2.6.x,
Ubuntu users will miss out on this exceptional new feature, while their
Windows friends can happily interoperate.
