AbiWord v2.8.4 Release Notes

AbiWord v2.8.4 Released

AbiWord 2.8 is a multi-platform, collaborative 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 v2.8.4 is the latest stable release, which greatly improves AbiWord's support for non-Western, complex scripts.

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

Fix a bug where deleting a character in non-Western scripts caused a random number of characters to be deleted.

Fix cursor movement for complex scripts, as text cluster boundaries are now honored (Linux and Mac OS X).

Fix the text rendering of complex scripts when text is selected (Linux and Mac OS X).

Fix text rendering errors when font substitution was involved (Linux and Mac OS X).

The full changelog can be found here.
