Hi,
There's a new build of AbiWord/XDarwin available via my website
http://www.alinameridon.com/AbiWord
This has been rearranged in the manner described recently on this list: an
AbiSuite folder (fully relocatable) which contains the usual AbiSuite
folders ('dictionary' etc.) as well as the XAbiWord bundle (the icon of
Abi the Ant can be dragged to the launcher).
Also unlike previous builds, this is a dynamic build, the various shared
libraries now being bundled with the executable - this increases the disc
space requirement but (I believe) radically improves performance.
This build includes JPEG support, and I'm working to add in WMF support
for the upcoming 0.9.5 release - for which I intend to do an official
release build.
Tested on 10.0.4 (w/ updates) and 10.1 (w/o updates). If anyone else is
using AbiWord/XDarwin & wishes to be a tester, please contact me.
Regards, Frank
