The development team has started a development version that should lead to production version 2.4. The version number is fixed at 2.3.0 and ships with the following release notes:

The AbiWord team is very proud to announce AbiWord v2.3.0, the first snapshot of the development that will lead to AbiWord 2.4.

This snapshot allows interested developers, testers and users a sneak preview into the future of AbiWord.

New features of this release include (amongst others):

• Table to Text
• Tight Textwapping around Images
• Grammar Checking (Plugin)
• Math Support (Plugin)
• GNOME Office Chart Embedding (Plugin, experimental)
• OpenDocument Support (Plugin, experimental)

AbiWord v2.3.0 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 the new snapshot, please be aware that is a development snapshot and is not expected to be stable in any sort of way.[break]The following three downloads are ready:
