Wow. I don't whether to be flattered or horrified. We haven't yet
designated Abi as stable although we try hard to kill crash bugs as soon
as we here about them. I wouldn't try to write a Novel in Abi yet.
To answer your question, this part of the code is in heavy development
right now as we incorporate full unicode support. It should include proper
support for Finnish and we would really like to hear from Finnish users if
it does. We will either get a new release in a week or two or if we miss
that deadline our next release will be in early December.
Cheers
Martin
