ATTN: AbiWord v2.7.6 Released!

AbiWord v2.7.6 Released

The AbiWord team joyfully announces AbiWord v2.7.6, the 7th snapshot of
the development series that will lead to AbiWord 2.8.

This snapshot allows interested developers, testers and users a sneak
preview into the future of AbiWord.

The changes from v2.7.5 to v2.7.6 include, amongst others:

* Add native JPEG image support (no internal conversion to PNG is done
anymore).
* Improve the Office Open XML (".docx") import filter by supporting
bookmarks, columns, endnotes, fields, footnotes, hyperlinks, images,
lists, tab stops, tables (and formatting) and text boxes. Also improve
the export filter to support tab stop leaders, table background colors
and table border sizes.
* Support page-anchored textboxes and images, and import them from
OpenDocument files.
* Be less strict when trying to load broken AbiWord, OpenDocument and
RTF files.
* Improve positioned object handling when moving them around or wrapping
text around them.

We are very much interested in any bug you may find. Please report these
to http://bugzilla.abisource.com/.

While we encourage people to try out the new snapshot, please be aware
that is a development snapshot and is not expected to be stable in any
sort of way.
