AbiWord Weekly News #170, (2003, week 46, released 2003.11.16)
Welcome to this issue 170 of the AbiWord Weekly News.
Follow-ups:
SCO's contract must say you can't tell anyone we have application x, or, no one wants SCO Linux. I do wonder which is more likely...oh, wait, it could be both!
This week in development
TextBoxes get richer, BeOS finally sees some action and preparations for 2.1.0 Some technical notes on how Abi renders a document, bugs on the rise, more news on Abi's Relatives OTS, libWPD, gnumeric and conglomerate. Also, lots of hinting for 2.1.0!
Request for User Assistance
Hi there. We're looking for people who can help keep AbiWord accurate and uptodate in a number of languages. Please look over them and see if ither you or someone you know might be able to assist us. Remember, your contribution is not only welcomed or encouraged but is also documented, for an easier-to-brag experience. The languages we are looking for are listed below:
- Afrikaans[af-ZA]
- Armenian[hy-AM]
- Assamese[as-IN]
- Chinese (Singapore)[zh-SG]
- Cornish[kw-GB]
- Corsican[co-FR]
- Croatian[hr]
- Esperanto[eo]
- Estonian[et]
- Farsi[fa-IR]
- Flemish (Belgium)[nl-BE]
- Frisian[fy-NL]
- Georgian[ka-GE]
- Hausa (Niger)[ha-NE]
- Hausa (Nigeria)[ha-NG]
- Hindi[hi-IN]
- Icelandic[is-IS]
- Korean[ko-KR]
- Macedonian[mk]
- Marshallese (Nauru)[mh-NR]
- Occitan[oc-FR]
- Thai[th-TH]
- Urdu[ur-PK]
Due to the traffick of people who are trying to help with picked up languages, those who are interested in helping us are encouraged to join ither mailing list. Please read the instructions for the list you are most interested in joining to get the correct address. Joining, as you'll find out, is a simple three step process. First, send a letter to one email address; second confirm you sent the letter by sending a reply, and third...oops, there is no step three. Ok, so, excluding all the minor steps of what to click and/or type, it's really a simple two-step process.
There are just two important reminders in using the mailing lists which all users are expected to do. If you want your message to even make it to the list, you message will need to be in plain text only. Due to an insurgence of a certain virus a while back, all HTML email is rejected for reasons of sanity. Webmail users will have to figure out how to turn on plain-text only before sending email. Second, you are required to send the language in Engrish or English. For those of you who don't speak English well enough to send Engrish, it is recommended that you send the letter in both your native language (identify your language please) and after that, in the same message, send it in a machine-translated version of your message, like BabelFish, in case no-one who speaks your language is available to translate your message for the list. Failure to follow these proceedures in the past have led to frustration and resentment. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience these two requests may cause you.
Silliness of the Week
And now, a word from our sponsors, in fact, several words:
- Support a GNOME Office Bug Day; help us make it better for you!
- Vote for Jody! Could you really ask for anyone better?
- GNU Software: If you haven't used it, it's G'NU to you.
- My Tuchis, it's the source of all weather predictions, lotto numbers and psychic predictions.
- We're all about standards, we're IEEE.
Microsoft, where do you want to go today? Psyche! Like we care.- Sigrid's Bavarian Trail, located on beautiful Loon Lake, in Shawano County, Wisconsin.

Discussions
Traffic on the developer mailing list has settled at about 200-400 postings per week. This week, interesting topics on the developer list included:
commit: Top Ruler and Left Ruler now work with Frames.
,
commit: Speed up dragging of Frames.
,
commit: Fix clear selection bug.
and
commit: Enable tables in Frames, some top ruler fixes.
:
→
More news on our features front.
For our TextBox or Frames lovers,
you'll note improved functionality with the rulers tracking events within them.
If you love the idea of speeding up the draggability of TextBoxes,
you'll love this fast work around:
when being moved about, the TextBox will be changed into an image --
thus saving on re-re-re-re-rendering of text as it moves.
Pleasingly enough, clear selection issues have finally been removed,
fixing several major flickering events.
And finally, you can now place tables within a frame,
but don't expect the rulers to behave just yet.
§
The flickering was so bad, I heard rumours of users having seizures!
gtk 2.3
:
→
Random user, Mike, wants to know if anyone has succeeded in building AbiWord 2.0.x against gtk2.3.
Other random user, BAM, explains that success depends on removing the
DISABLE_DEPRECATED defines from the makefiles.
BAM also points to
this poignant article,
which is on GNOME's desktop development mailing list.
§
Though this would have been better served on the user list,
it's still very nice to see users helping users.
commit (HEAD): document iterator (pd_Iterator.h/cpp)
,
commit (HEAD): more doc iterator work
,
commit (HEAD): more doc iterator work
,
commit (HEAD): removal of getSpanPtr functions
:
→
Tomas creates a generic flexible iterator API that can be used to replace getSpanPtr().
§
I have no idea what that is, mind you, but it seemed to warrant a listing.
Parallel Installable AbiWord-2.2
,
commit: abi: two build fixes
and
parallel install with rpm (or maybe not)
:
→
Martin's anticipating releasing the first 2.2 development series, so, what's he thinking about?
Making it possible to have both 2.0.x and 2.1.x on the same system.
Frank takes the time to catch most of the requirements in one glorious sweep,
as mentioned in
“commit: abi, abiword-plugins & abidistfiles: (Re: Parallel Installable AbiWord-2.2).”
Even a fix or two later, Rui still had trouble building the rpms due to conflicts.
§
Just think, 1.0.7, 1.99.6, 2.0.4 and 2.1.0 all on the same system!
RH 8.0 AbiWord still frustrated over libfribidi0
and
The AbiWord/libfribidi0 issue
:
→
Just to cover two points about AbiWord and it's dependencies, including FriBiDi,
I'm combining what is really one discussion with two different points of view.
When AbiWord depends on a library not distributed on a specific Red Hat version,
it will depend on the official release from its developers.
This leaves you with either taking the source (rpm) and going with --nodeps or
locating the original, true, official source for that package.
In the case of LibFriBiDi, that means going
here.
§
I'd like to take the time to quote Marc from the former thread,
“We can't 'support' the 1000 rpms people build in their kitchen sink.”
Now, as to why NetBSD users are building rpms ellude me, but I concur with Marc completely.

In Nineteen Eighty-Four, we learn the political value of languages.
Politics and software got together in 1984 with the creation of the Free Software Foundation.
Eventually, Free Software and Political Languages were destined to meet.
As a general rule, AbiWord has used ISO 636-1 (two letter codes), ISO 636-2 (three letter codes),
and ISO 3166 (country codes) for creating its translations in both strings and po files.
Andrew warned many times that this would eventually manifest into some nasty issue,
whether it was due to dialects or scripts, and now, prophecy has come to pass.
Dom has come to a working solution,
using RFC 3066's “extras,”
Valencian will now be recognised as ca-x-val_ES.
§
This reeked of politics back with “Translation,”
but I don't think anyone saw it coming to a big issue like this.
Jaime Vicente Hurtado Perea seemed intent on justifying Valencian from the beginning,
and Jordi seemed like he was giving a bit of a run around to it at that time.
Spain strikes me as a very scary place.

Daniel Furrer steps forward to be the first to commit some actual code to BeOS.
It still doesn't yet, but it might in time for the new developers' build!
§
I swear, if something didn't come in soon, I was going to declare it dead,
and lord knows what I would have said about all those previously anxious
would-have-been-but-didn't-do-anything developers.
I'm sure Daniel would love some help.
Paypal and other banking fees jumped from ~ $115 to $797
:
→
Due to an error on the part of arcane software,
I have misreported the cost of banking fees.
Thanks to Randy thinking that Paypal was milking us to death,
I'm now aware of this issue,
and Dom has sent me updated Open Books to update our Open Books.
§
Maybe I should make errors intentionally...it encourages sharing ;o)
Abiword translation in pure Windows env.
:
→
Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan is looking for help from people who
have translated AbiWord using Windows.
Apparently, there may be a problem with
running the update.pl script in the PO directory.
§
Just a note for might-be AbiTranslators,
it's easiest and least error free to translate a strings file, then convert that to .po.
Traffic on the user mailing list is sporadic at best. Often, a good topic comes up, but users tend to only respond to the original poster rather than the list (as well), which limits what I would add, as the only lone threads I post are announcements of importance or points of great interest, e.g. solutions to problems in a preceeding thread.. This week, interesting topics on the user list included:
Error message when installing on Win95
:
→
Successfully installing AbiWord on an “untouched” Win95 (and I do think 98) system,
you will need to grab a dll or two from
Jeremy's site before you are likely to succeed.
At a minimum, he recommends msvcrt.dll.
§
Someday, Jeremy may even update his site ;o)

Bug Update
Bug Market
![[graph]](../graphs/abi_bugs-2003.11.16.png)
This week's activity: ResoUnconf +13 (14 : 1), VeriNew -3 (2 : 5), ClosAssi -2 (0 : 2),
A sad week for the markets, with only ResoUnconf in the positive. Louis Bugkeyser noted that this is simply the process of cycles, and with prep work for 2.1-2.2, it is certainly going to change. Alan Bluespan, however restated his theory that this slow period will continue until 2.1.0 has been released.

A bit of shuffling around again. The latest misfeature of interest is a funny Win32 printing bug 6044, Text size on printout is too small (but readable). Enhancements just got a little less enhanced, as 2366, implement floating frame, has obviously been completed by Martin for the 2.1-2.2 version series, so keep an eye out for that. New to the list is 3233, New Language preference menu, which, in theory, will probably be dispatched quickly, as it's listed for 2.0.x Also listed in the 2.0.x time range is the nearly antique 515, columns change should only affect selected text. I'm sure we're all looking forward to these enhancements.
Speaking of antiquated numbers, that reminds of one of some of the bugs also in the 2.0.x time range. I'm speaking of the long standing (and with 82 votes) 376, File associate problems for all file types with Win32Slu.... Other bugs, err, MisFeature™ to be completed in the version series are 2868, character widths are not calculated correctly for some fonts..., and 2421, TM, Bullet, Euro, Smart Quotes and other symbols.... Good times ahead.
Release HackDown
To return the moment there's a meta bug for (I'm assuming) 2.0.2 or otherwise 2.2.0. In the meantime, Dom has a thingy for 2.2.
Abi's Relatives
Several projects are used by, use or synchronise with AbiWord. Some of the most noteworthy libraries and applications will be summarised here. Some may be added under guise of the GNOME Office Suite.; others may be added because it's really just a plug by request. Want your project plugged? Send money to Dom. I'm offering rates of $10 per plug, $25 for a month-long plug, $50 for a quartly plug and $200 to go all year. P*ing us off or the discontinuation of this section does not result in a refund.
Libraries
AbiWord uses several libraries, and other sub-applications, to give it that extra bit of polish. Here, you will learn whatever news I scrape together or has been sent to me in relation to them. I wanted to do more this week, but not so much.
Besides what's listed in the CVS summaries for Nadav, there are some interesting considerations that may play out in the future. Most interestingly, there's the categorising of terms, creating individual dictionaries under each language, such as en.nature.xml, en.novels.xml, en.science.xml, en.funky-jazz-music.xml, en.pr0n.xml and en.pamela.xml. Also, synonmns, acronymns and variant spelling-mns might also to come into play with the next version of OTS.
A new relative release for Windows users, the wpd3sxw command line tool used to change Word Perfect files into Open Office files is now available on the download page. All this is much thanks to Fridrich Strba. It's currently capable of handling WordPerfect 6/7/8/9/10.
Additionally, integrated Open Office filters are coming soon for both Windows and Linux.
Not a diddly-darn thing.
Enchant is so great, there's just nothing to fix anymore, unless someone want to add a new dictionary to support.
Applications
AbiWord is crucial to the use of or coordinates with a number of full blown applications. Ok, I only know of, like, two. Well, there was that screen play thing, but that went straight out the window. And there was AbiMoz, but some other application has taken its place. I'm sure, once AbiWord 2.0 is seen to all, there will be more to see. Screw the Ant, it's AbiWord II: The Wrath of Dom!!!
GNOME Office SuiteSince I don't know of applications outside of AbiWord that use AbiWord, I'll be doing this Gnome Office business. These people should have newsletters, so, I can steal crap from them.
This very coming weekend, when AbiWord will be releasing 2.1.0 and possibly 2.0.2 (by current plan), Gnumeric may be releasing 1.2.2, with intent on squashing one more bug (when isn't it just one more bug!?). When 1.2.2 is released, the tree will probably be branched for 1.3! And, much of that thanks goes to Morten. In the meantime, when 1.2.2 comes out, it will have plot level configuration of default styles, fewer theming issues and the user can now select auto marker shapes, auto patterns and auto colours. I guess Jody really is anxious to start on some new toy because it appears that the autobots have paid a lot of money for Jody's programming time; perhaps it'll go to a baby sitter when a tagging needs to be done ;o)
Nothing yet, but Rodrigo's been to some pretty sweet places.
Last call for Criawips! Anyone still want it, or will we have an AbiShow here?
Dave Malcolm has added support for translations of an element, which, by now, should be upto using the xml:lang standard. This will allow you to translate terminology of an element. Additionally, I've read that submenus and even a news section have been added to the site by Jeff Martin. This appears to be on a secret that no one has outside of the inner circle has ever seen because lord knows how much I'd love to steal stuff from a pre-existing news site. Or someone could hold a gun to Dave's head and make him do a blog.k
Other
Look, a place to talk about the AWN
I may get to that bug thing, but don't get your hopes up for a success. I have solidified the CVS sorting thing (for now atleast), with corrections to the date. Jesper wrote a note about how bonsai can be a real...pedantic about the date. I think it makes total sense if you think about it, but if I should ever make the mistake of thinking, I'll lose the right to blame society for all my problems.
I have removed Latest Releases, as I am no-longer its maintainer, at least, as far as I know.
Frank has made HEAD parallel installable as 2.2. That means, from this point forward, using a developers' build or tinderbox, the binary will be placed in itsown directory, saving you from worrying about replacing stable with unstable. As a last minute development, I should inform you that 2.1.0 may not come out until later, or atleast, the MacOS X verion and certainly BeOS has quite a way to go, yet, as well.
Thanks to some critical thinking skills from Randy, the books have been recently updated. I think, after admitting how old my software is, Jody thought I was psychotic. Good news is, thanks to Gedit, I changed the CSV to html in a couple of minutes, which my archaic gnumeric could handle. This saves me lots of gut wrenching whining that I would otherwise would have to do to anyone in earshot ^_^
Open Source, Open Books.
Last Updated: November 16th, 2003Approximately once a month, don't hedge bets, I'll get this updated by asking (read: whining at) dom. In the meantime, whenever you want to see how much is in and where it gets diverted, just peek down here.
Word of caution, numbers lightly fudged due to (hopefully) temporarily incomplete data. Like a consultant's suggested price, you'll find hidden meaning in the data if you stare long and hard. Surgeon's General's Warning: Staring long and hard may have psychotropic affects; keep out of reach of people who like that sort of thing.
I cannot promise the time of de-fudging, nor can I promise there will be de-fudging any time soon. However, I feel confident that there will be some de-fudging going on.
Despite the last updated marker, these numbers are only accurate to something around the 19th.
