Our source code is carefully written so that AbiWord will run on virtually any operating system with a minimum of time spent on porting. This combined with our support for internationalization (the ability to run AbiWord in many languages) gives AbiWord a massive potential user-base. Currently we run on most UNIX systems, Windows 95 and later, QNX Neutrino 6.2. We also have a MacOS X native port in the way (you can still use the UNIX version on MacOS X if you want). The installer includes the following extra functionality ("plugins"): - Grammar checking (only English supported at the moment) - Support for entering formulas and equations - Wordperfect file import - OpenDocument file import (the OpenOffice.org 2 format) - Gnumeric charts support (experimental, only works with recent GNOME) ==================== AbiWord v2.5.0 Released # A new Pango based renderer for Unix platforms, improving support for languages such as Thai and Arabic # Cross platform libgsf integration, allowing the user to open files on remote shares (the last part holds for the Unix platform for now) # Cross platform Glib integration, meaning less custom AbiWord specific code to maintain # Support for the Bonobo component framework has been deprecated (Unix platforms) # Improved the build system to be more standards conformant (for example, "make dist" and "make distcheck" now work) # Experimental AbiWord GTK+ widget, with accompanying Python bindings # Various toolbar improvements, most notably the improvements to make them work better on small screens (Unix platform) # A massive amount of work on all of our popular import and export filters # A new experimental collaboration plugin (only available on Unix for now) # A new GNOME Office integration plugin, replacing the old GNOME Office Charting plugin (Unix platforms) # Improved command line handling, allowing input from standard input, and output to be directed to standard output (examples here). # Improved printing from the command line, deprecating our old custom postscript driver # Lots of updates to our translations # Various Drag & Drop and Clipboard handling improvements # Improved modularisations for resource constrained devices, such as optional printing and spelling support # Improved support for running AbiWord in non-UI mode (sometimes also referred to as "server" mode, as offered by the AbiCommand plugin); most notably the requirement for a (fake) X server has been removed.
