Hi David,
I've saved the release notes as a gzipped ZABW file and have
posted them to the list for those many people who don't use CVS. It's only
2.4 KB so no big deal.
The release notes you've made are more along the lines of a general
description of all the things AbiWord can do rather than the sort of
detail we've generally talked about upon making a new release. I guess I'd
like to see all the stuff that has been adding and a good portion of the
bugs fixed listed. The idea is to reward all the contributors to Abiword
with recognition of their work.
So for 0.90 some things would be:
(People please don't feel left out if I've you off this is just a quick
demo of what I'd like to see in the release notes. Sorry for focussing on
what I've done but it is easier to remember it.)
Whoops! This has grown into a first pass at all the stuff we've done since
0.7.14. Well since I've started. This is a very much a first pass. Have a
look through Bonsai for more clues on what has gone in. Please people
don't be shy about reminding us of your work either.
Cheers
Martin
