* Preserve character properties when typing. This fixes a bad regression that
was introduced in 2.8.5.
Changes 2.8.5:
* Fix paste of rich text from HTML and ODT, where previously some formatting
properties were not closed properly.
* Add a number of robustness fixes to the layout engine.
* Fix a table selection bug.
This is a major update, I couldn't find the relevant changecogs but
the last one. A couple of bugfixes.
pkgsrc note: Since base and plugins are seperate distfiles now, we
could abandon the Makefile.common or at least part of its complexity.
I'll leave this to the MAINTAINER.
Also, I'd suggest to rip -plugins into parts - many are too exotic.
(There are also some new which are not built, I've just kept status quo.)
