    Not as far as i know, (Martin could you confirm please)
    Dont expect any features for Abiword v1.0 that are not in 0.99.3

    Endnotes (as opposed to headers/footers) are a substantial change and not
    expected in release builds.
    I think someone may have been working on it but was unable to give up the
    time anymore

    if you use google to seach the archive:
    site:abisource.com Endnotes
    or perhaps search through bugzilla.

    There will be a lot of new features added after v1.0,
    but it is really important to get a solid stable version out soon before
    we start making drastic changes.

    Sincerely
    Alan
