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.)
Almost completely rewrote the DocBook export filter, gaining substantial more functionality in the process
Fixed a security bug pointed out to us by Joxean Koret
Fixed a massive amount of bugs in the OpenDocument import and export filters
Fixed the unstability on x86_64 architectures
This is during the freeze. Hopefully, this fixes PR #32310
and #32144. Before this fix, under Linux, the package's PLIST
didn't match up with what was actually installed. Also problem
was seen recently on bulk-builds list.
Add patch-af from
abiword-2.0.9-windowshelppaths.patch from Fedora Core 4 Extras abiword-2.4.1-2.
This gets rid of the DOS style file paths of images.
Add patch-ag to have portable use of cp -r * instead of */.
This fixes problem where files were not installed to their subdirectories.
Use post-build target to create "help" docs and to clean out junk.
(Fixes problem where "make clean" can't clean.)
Fix permissions in post-build too. Fixes problem where some
subdirectories for the help files were not browsable.
Copy the help files into place in the post-install target.
Many PLIST changes due to fixing of the help files.
While I am here, use PKGMANDIR instead of "man" and add INSTALLATION_DIRS
for that.
Bump PKGREVISION.
The maintainer of this package, adam, said he was unavailable to
work on this currently and said it was okay for me to work on this.
I tested on PkgLinux and NetBSD/i386. I reviewed some "help" files
in browser (which abiword opens). And saw some images too.

Carnat too, thanks.
Use bsd.options.mk for the gucharmap dependency/option, which now is
disabled by default, because it adds a lot of GNOME dependencies
(this is bad if you don't use GNOME).

new features were added, as usual, please take a look at the ChangeLog
file.
Changes:
o Several crasher bugs have been fixed related to Foot and
Endnotes.

o Lots of Windows frontend fixes and cleanups.

Malay and Catalan languages.
