Mozilla 9.0.2 is out and seems stable, (these bytes coming to you....)
I use Abiword 0.7-13 and it also seems ok but does crash opening certain
m$word documents. Also seems to stuff up the formatting sometimes. With
new documents created in abi (xml) it doesn't seem to be a problem.
0.9.0 is due out soon (no deadline given, no deadline missed :) but it
looks pretty good. Maybe interested sluggers could have a bug triage
day. It seems to me that getting good bug documentation from users on how
to reproduce the bug is a constant headache for OS projects. I logged a bug
on Mozilla and sent them a html test case and they went nuts, reproduced
the bug and fixed it almost straight away. So if Abiword crashes maybe you
should send them step by step instructions and an example file that breaks
it. See that's our side of the deal, as OS users (sorry R Stallman make that
FSF/GNU users) our side of the bargin is to log bugs and give good bug
reports rather than just bitch about a product being unstable.
