I've just spent quite a bit of time testing the current version of abiword in Quantal and all seems quite well. This is the most current snippet from the changelog:
abiword (2.9.2+svn20120603-2) unstable; urgency=low * build verbosity increased with --disable-silent-rules * lintian-overrides: + 'hardening-no-fortify-functions' (false-positives). + 'dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink' (libabiword-2.9.so is a library, not a symlink). * new patches: + format-hardening.patch to avoid FTBFS on --with-gtk2 build. + fix-wheel-scrolling.patch (Closes: #672149). + fix-paste.patch (backported) with fix for "Crash on unicode character paste" (Closes: #681060). + no-dbl-buf.patch to disable double buffering in order to prevent crash on 'Paste Unformatted'. -- Dmitry Smirnov <only...@member.fsf.org> Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:08:23 +1000 abiword (2.9.2+svn20120603-1) unstable; urgency=low Certainly it needs to be tested by other users but this is a huge step in the right direction.
