															版本下載：AbiWord 2.6.8
														

# Fix a bug that caused scrolling in the opposite direction when scrolling quickly on Unix platforms.
# Fix a bug which caused the Office Open XML exporter to conflict with other exporters.
# Various tweaks to the OpenDocument importer.

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.

Note for Windows 95, 98 and ME users: AbiWord 2.6 is currently not available for your operating system. Please continue using AbiWord 2.4.6 instead.

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

# Re-enable the equation editor on Windows systems.
# Don't crash when saving to a device with no space left.
# Prevent quite a few hard to trigger crashes from happening.
# Inform the user when the connection is lost while collaborating on a document over the TCP transport.

# We've enabled the experimental collaboration plugin on the Windows platform. This plugin allows allowing users to collaboratively work on the same document in real-time. The user interface is still a bit rough around the edges, but this will be improved upon in future AbiWord releases.
# Make our presentation plugin work.
# Fix a bunch of small bugs in our XSL-FO, Applix, LaTeX, WML and HTML import/export filters.

# Greatly-improved support for languages like Thai and Arabic using a new Pango based renderer (Unix platforms)
# We've included a new GNOME Office plugin that allows embedding Gnumeric charts into your documents (Unix platforms)
# Ability to open files on remote shares, ie. samba, ftp or ssh shares (Unix platforms)
# A new experimental collaboration plugin, allowing users to collaboratively work on the same document in real-time. There are currently 3 communication backends supported: an XMPP based one (only available on Unix systems, and it could use some love), a pure TCP/IP based one and one that integrates with the One Laptop Per Child Sugar interface. Please note that we consider this collaboration feature experimental, as it hasn't seen a lot of testing outside the One Laptop Per Child deployments. Also, we are not sure yet that we won't need to make slight protocol changes to accommodate some new features. This means that the current version of the plugin might not be able to communicate with future versions of the plugin. Finally, this feature is not yet available on Windows. It will be available in v2.6.1 for that platform.
# A massive amount of work on all of our popular import and export filters, most notably the OpenDocument filter
# The addition of a new experimental Office Open XML import filter
# Support for native Windows Vista menus
# Various drag & drop and clipboard handling improvements
# Allow dragging and dropping images in and out of AbiWord (Unix platforms)
# Fast image previews in the Image dialog, even for huge images (Unix platforms)
# Various toolbar improvements, most notably the improvements to make them work better on small screens (Unix platforms)
# Lots of updates to our translations
# Lots of small fixes in our GTK+ frontend, such as fixing those pesky tooltips that just wouldn't go away (Unix platforms)
# Automatic font substitution using fontconfig when a specific font is not available (Unix platforms)
# Improved support for running AbiWord in non-UI mode (sometimes also referred to as "server" mode, as offered by the AbiCommand plugin); most notably AbiWord no longer requires an X server on Unix systems in non-UI mode.
# Improved command line handling, allowing input from standard input, and output to be directed to standard output.
# Improved printing from the command line, deprecating our previously used custom postscript driver
# Improved modularisations for resource constrained devices, such as optional printing and spelling support
# For application developers we've made available an experimental AbiWord GTK+ widget; accompanying Python bindings will follow soon.
# For distributors we've improved the build system to be more standards conformant (for example, "make dist" and "make distcheck" now work)

Note: The equation plugin on Windows systems is currently unavailable. If you require equation support in your documents, then please continue using AbiWord 2.4.6. Future AbiWord releases will include equation support again on Windows systems.
