ATTN: AbiWord 2.6.5 released

AbiWord v2.6.5 Released

AbiWord 2.6 is a multi-platform word processor that combines
state-of-the-art usability, powerful features, and excellent
interoperability. Furthermore, it features a powerful framework for
supporting custom extensions. AbiWord v2.6.5 is the latest stable
release, which compared to v2.6.4 contains a good number of bugfixes and
a couple of new features.

This release includes the following changes (and more!):

* Added our first iteraton of an Office Open XML filter. Features
supported are: formatted text, formatted paragraphs, page breaks,
columns, tab stops, footnotes, endnotes, headers/footers, fields,
images, hyperlinks, bookmarks, lists, tables, and text boxes.
* Vastly improved LaTeX export filter, which even supports exporting
equations now.
* Fixed a couple of annoying crashes in the GTK frontend, for example
when overwriting a file or inserting a symbol.
* Fixed a bug that prevented the correct shaping of glyphs for complex
scripts such as Arabic.
