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.
