True WYSIWYG. Previously, we had subtle reformatting discrepancies when
changing resolutions (such as printing and zooming).
No more character dirt.
Overline support.
Minor display glitches.
Insert Date and Time.
Page-level navigation.
Better support for non-English content.
LaTeX exporter.
Word importer. Justin and Caolan have fixed things so that tabstops,
breaks, unicode conversion, page break before, widow/orphan control are all
imported successfully now.
RTF importer. Now handles negative values for margin-left and
text-indent.
Minor file format change.
Error propagation.
Unix stuff. By popular request, libstdc++ is no longer required. (We
never really needed it anyhow.) PostScript emissions now use signed
characters, as suggested by Bob Monaghan <bob@sbst.com>. With the latest
fonts.dir, Symbol fonts should print properly now, too.
First support for GNOME.
Spelling speedup. The interactive spell check logic is now fast and
smart like it should be, instead of woefully poky and dumb like it used to
be.
Subscript and superscript.
View ruler. Stephen Hack <shack@uiuc.edu> implemented this menu item so
that you can hide or show the ruler on a per-window basis.
Compressed AbiWord files. The AbiWord file format (*.abw) was designed
from the get-go to be a highly-readable form of XML. However, for those of
you who care more about bloat than legibility, Richard Jefts
<babs@cs.jhu.edu>
added import/export logic for a gzip-compressed variant (*.zabw).
Options dialog started.
Zoom and Paragraph dialogs.
Justification.
Clipboard improvements.
More Unicode-friendly.
Smarter preferences.
