These are for testing and in fact are debug builds with lots of asserts
and debug messages. They are certainly NOT for general use.
Hopefully after 0.90 is out we can much more frequently releases. Once a
week I hope as we squash bugs. Right now we're just waiting on the Win
guys to finish some features before we release.
I have some new snapshots of unix and gnome builds on
http://seviorpc.ph.unimelb.edu.au/abiword
for people to try out.
The *-intl means they come with support for 20 languages built in. The
ones without have just English spell checking.
Anyway give these a whirl if you have the machines. The only bug that I
feel motivated to fix for these before the release is printing of colored
text in gnome-print.
Otherwise I'd be very happy to ship these right now.
Cheers
Martin
