AbiWord 2.5.0 should be out in a few hours, and it has quite a few major improvements over the 2.4 series. The ChangeLog doesn't do it justice. Certainly it's the best non-stable series release of AbiWord ever.

A major impetus was getting a repackaged version of AbiWord onto the OLPC XO machines before their code freeze this Monday. We've poured our hearts and souls into Abi and rededicated ourselves in the process. I hope that we've put our best foot forward (or at least haven't screwed up too badly) and hope that we've played a small part in helping educate underprivileged children around the world.

I'd like to sincerely thank Uwog, Sum1, TF, Martin, Hub, Rob, RP, the Gnumeric team for their help with GOffice and LibGSF, and everyone else that helped make this release rock so hard. You're all real heroes.
