Wow, just 3 weeks since the last release and we have tons of
improvements. We have new features:
The libGDA plugin allows the GNOME build to import data as tables from
arbitary Data bases including MS Access.
The Open Text Summarizer just keeps going from strength to strength. It
now has support for:
English, Hebrew, German , Galacian, Interlingua, Latvian, Maori,
Maltese, Turkish, Tagalog (Philipino), Basque, Bulgarian, Estonian,
Galician, Greek, Indonesian, Polish,Czech, Welsh, Finnish, Irish
(Gaelic), Icelandic, Malaysian, Romanian, Swedish, Ukrainian, Russian,
Italian, Catalan, Danish, Esperanto, French, Dutch and Hugarian (thanks
mostly to the incredible efforts of Andrew Dunbar and is really cool,
lingaphile project).
OTS also now has support for stemming and an initial English
implementation.
Sven Herzberg has commenced his Presentation Program craiwps which is
based on the AbiWord code.
Dom has implemented a brand new spell checking framework called Enchant
which already supports 3 different spell checkers and around 30 wildly
different languages.
Plus a whole heap of bugfixes and improvements.
We invite you to tryout 1.99.3 and see if you favourite(?) bug has been
fixed. There a source tarball and binaries for Windows and Linux
available at sourceforge.
Feel free to report new or old bugs fixed at
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/.
Enjoy!
Abi the Ant and her intrepid Hackers.
