Software Update: AbiWord 2.1.2

Few computer programs have as many potential users as AbiWord. The program can be run on almost any operating system, in dozens of different languages, so that almost everyone can use it. The program is open source, and the developers of the project are hard at work. The result of that work is version 2.1.2, part of the 2.1.x development line that will eventually result in the 2.2.x series. The complete changelog of the release is here herebut luckily the programmers have also provided a summary:

A lot of bugfixes have gone into this release since v2.1.1, as well as a lot of polishing work. Some of the highlights are:

• Tables can now be placed in Headers/Footers.
• Headers/Footers expand to fit their contents.
• Fantastic new HIG-compliant Preferences dialog with Instant Apply in the Unix version (Thanks Manny!).
• Many, many bug fixes.
