Basically, see every commit that Martin did in the
past week. There was massive memory corruption in the
Piece Table and formatting engine. There were also a
multitude of easily caused crashers that were well
known and well within the "fixable within one week"
timeline that he, Tomas, and I were able to address.
Abi now also leaks much less memory than it used to.
This extra week has also allowed us to push in a bunch
of other bug fixes and polish. Tomas' Bidi and MSWord
work thus far have been nothing short of amazing. My
mail-merge work has been called "ueber-cool" by my
clients. The find/replace dialog is much better and
useful. And now we also have a sort-of working text
summarizer plugin, once I make
FV_View::getSelectionText() work the way I believe it
should work.
