    Ed: .com works nicely for Windows users...not sure why I'm using it.

    And, for those of you that like the text part in your inboxen:

         This week, with no fanfare, the developers' release, 1.1.0, was open to all who wanted to play with it, Latest Releases finally moved to a static page while the AWN gained improved bug traqing and a new feature: The Release Hackdown.

          Only a few precious days ago, Dom froze HEAD for a short while to produce the first developers' release*, 1.1.0. Unexpectedly, however, his frozen 1.1.0 release crashed on startup. Happily, Marc jumped in and did the extensive amount of work at repairing, re-tarring and retagging. Other unpleasant things happened, but Marc was a true AbiHero through it all! Of course, one can understand that, as all of this is a precursor to AbiWord II: The Wrath of Dom*. Sure, it may not be the easiest to use software of all time, but Dom's quite proud of it.

          Hey, all y'all remember Latest Releases? Remember how it limited the variable width capabilities of some browser versions? Remember how I said I'd format and move the whole thing to a static page? Well, guess what! I did! Replacing Latest Releases will be a new concept, The Release HackDown, where you can watch Mark's progress to the next stable AbiWord 1.0.4. Also included are some nice stats and formatting.

    Note to Hub: next week, I promise. I just couldn't find the link.
