AbiWord Development snapshot 2.3.4 released.

The AbiWord team is happy to announce AbiWord v2.3.4 (aka AbiWord 2.4 beta 1) for your stress-testing pleasure. This release is virtually identical to what will become AbiWord 2.4, except with some more bugs still in it.

This snapshot allows interested developers, testers and users a sneak preview into the future of AbiWord. Note that at the moment we only have pre-compiled pacakges for Windows and the Nokia Maemo platforms.

The changes from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4 (2.3.3 was never any good) include a lot of bugfixes, as we are working on stablizing the 2.3 development series towards our first stable 2.4 release. No record of the exact list of changes is available for this release. Though the contributors for this release are not listed explicitly, we are very thankful for all their help and support.

AbiWord v2.3.x is parallel installable with AbiWord v2.2 so users can try it out without disturbing their stable AbiWord 2.2 version. We are very much interested in any bug you may find. Please report these to http://bugzilla.abisource.com/.

While we encourage people to try out this new snapshot, please be aware that is a development snapshot and is not expected to be stable in any sort of way.

Enjoy!

Bugzilla? Don't think so!

I seriously refuse to register for YET ANOTHER bugzilla in order to submit a bug report. If Abiword developers want the help of the community, they need to work at making it easy for the community to do so. I have already registered to 10 different bugzilla's, and THAT'S ENOUGH.

I hope other people agree with me, and actively refuse to submit bug reports. If that means the project dies, then so be it. I was never a big fan of Abiword anyway.

This rant isn't just about Abiword's bugzilla, but about every other bugzilla out there. Work on a centralized bugzilla, or remove the need to register.

Thank you for listening.
