UPDATE: New version is now in the Maemo Diablo extras-devel repository, please add it to your repository list and download AbiWord through the Application Center.

Hi all,

I've put together a usable beta package for AbiWord 2.8.1 for OS2008 (Diablo). For this release, I made several Maemo-specific fixes that solve several of the stability problems encountered in previous releases over the years, and I've added some enhancements.

To install, simply add the Maemo Diablo extras-devel repository to your repository list and install AbiWord from the Application Center.

After talking with the devs, it seems like the Maemo-specific code is no longer being maintained, so I am unofficially taking over that branch as a maintainer. I HIGHLY recommend that you submit any problems to the AbiWord Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.abisource.com/. Also, please post your experiences using the software here.

Enjoy!
