    libwpd 0.7.0 released

    libwpd 0.7.0 marks a major milestone for the libwpd development team.
    This new release adds WordPerfect (tm) 4.2, 5.0 and 5.1 documents to the
    list of supported document formats.

    While the support for these new document types will initially be quite
    basic, the complete framework is in place to allow for the easy addition
    of features to the new parsers.

    All the different document types can be parsed transparently, making the
    life of the application developer using libwpd as easy as possible.

    Furthermore, build systems for MingW and Microsoft Visual
    Studio are now available, adding Microsoft Windows to the list of
    supported platforms.

    More information: http://libwpd.sourceforge.net
    Availability: http://libwpd.sourceforge.net/download.html

    Enjoy!
      - The libwpd development team
