Hi Jean,

Please put the open brace "{" on a new line before you commit. We like

In the end, my problem comes from a GtkAdjustment issue. I attached a
patch to the bug report (I'll commit it since it is quite simple). Not
sure it fixes the original issue though.

We have the website in a seperate repository for some historical reason:

 svn+ssh://<username>< at >svn.abisource.com/svnweb/www.abisource.com/trunk
  
You need separate access to this repo. I've just given it to you,
without checking if it works. Could you try it? If it does not work,
then please poke hub, as I'll be mostly offline the coming days.

AbiWord 2.9.x release instructions

J.M. Maurer — 2012-05-24T19:24:06

Ola everyone!

Usually I'm the one doing releases, but since I'm about to have a baby
to care for, I suspect I won't have a lot of time the coming months to
release 2.9.3 and beyond :)

Therefor I've written down all release instructions as detailed as
possible, so everyone with both svn and svnweb[1][2] accounts can do
releases:

  http://abisource.com/wiki/Releasing#Building_a_Windows_Installer

Please update them as needed, so everyone can always do releases!

Cheers!
  Marc

[1] svnweb is a seperate svn repository that contains our website
related sources. I would be in favor of merging this with the normal svn
repository, so everyone with svn commit rights to our source repository
can do a release.

[2] If you want access to the svnweb repository, then please let hub or
me know. We can give you access. In the future you don't need these
silly additional permissions anymore (see point [1]).

New AbiWord strings

Chris Leonard — 2012-05-24T15:57:36

Dear AbiWord localizers,

Some new strings have been added to the latest AbiWord POT, and the
projects have been updated on Pootle

http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/AbiWord/

A number of these are added language names.

As the localized name of Language X in Language Y can sometimes be
tricky (especially if Language X is an uncommon lang).  Two of my
favorite tricks for finding these are:

1) Look up Lang X in the Lang Y localized ISO-639 PO file.

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=iso-codes/iso-codes.git;a=tree;f=iso_639;h=05181f96c87c5862af51932353af095ca9d0efc8;hb=HEAD

2) Look up Lang X article in English wikipedia, then see of there is a
link to a Lang Y article (with the localized name).

Some people are not all that familiar with the context/meaning for
some of the more recent strings about RDF.

It might help to read this article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework

RDF is a sort of mark-up language that allows you to add meta-data to
documents that enables the use

Not sure it is a gtk bug, it might be a new feature as well ;-)

Anyway, I don't see why dblBufferingObj should be moved inside the while
loop. The issue is not there, but after, when we call the notifyers.
I'll track this more deeply next week if time permits.

Hi Jean,

If my patch never triggers an assert even though you get a crash, it is a sign that the bug is in gtk3. While I'm in favour of a work around that prevents a crash, it is important that the bug in gtk be fixed. Therefore 
 please commit your patch with the following big comment in capital letters and let the gtk developers that we've exposed a crash bug that is present in gtk-3.4 but not gtk-.3.2.4 (distributed in Fedora 16).

//
// WORK AROUND FOR BUG 13355 CAUSED BY A BUG IN GTK-3.4. PLEASE TEST 
// AND REVERT TO EARLIER CODE ONCE THIS IS 
// FIXED. 
//
#if 0
FV_ViewDoubleBuffering dblBufferingObj(this, false, false);
dblBufferingObj.beginDoubleBuffering();

while ((!bDone || bIsDirty) && pCurRun)
{
#eise
while ((!bDone || bIsDirty) && pCurRun)
{
       FV_ViewDoubleBuffering dblBufferingObj(this, false, false);
        dblBufferingObj.beginDoubleBuffering();

paragraph style

Simon Larochelle — 2012-05-20T16:33:30

I am trying to correct a bug when the user changes paragraph style.
Presently, all font properties and character styles are removed from
the paragraph until the first footnote (or endnote), while after the
footnote, none of these things are cleared. There are a few issues:

1) the behavior needs to be same before and after the footnote
2) clearing character styles affects the font properties of footnote
references (i.e. they are no longer in superscript)
3) clearing font properties is a mix bag. If the user has a word in
italic or in bold, he likely does not want it to be affected by the
paragraph style change. However, abiword tends to explicitly set a
large number of properties that are defined in the paragraph style
(for example if the user sets the font to bold, type a word, and then
unsets it, a font property font-weight:normal will be added to every
text fragment afterward). These extraneous properties will likely
cause undesirable effects during the paragraph style change (that is,
keep a number of t

L10n update

Chris Leonard — 2012-05-20T03:11:27

Dear AbiWo4rd localizers

All of the PO files for 2.9 have had their headers adjusted and
re-committed to SVN.

Please make sure you download a fresh copy of the PO files (rather
than using a local copy) if you are going to work on L10n.  I would
like to preserve the header adjustments that have been made and not
overwrite them with the old headers, if possible.

Ideally, please work on the L10n online via the Pootle user interface.

http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/AbiWord/

Everything there is now synchronized with SVN (except German I think
because Ingo has been committing directly).

I will be working on getting the two way connection between SVN and
Poolte established.

SVN > Poolte (updated POT files)
Poolte > SVN (individual PO files)

I will update you as progress is made.

Mechanism for proposing Abisource web-site changes/corrections

Chris Leonard — 2012-05-19T07:02:39

Dear AbiWord devs,

I don't see the HTML for the Abisource website

http://www.abisource.com/

as a folder in the SVN

 http://svn.abisource.com/

There are some errors I would like to fix ((for example) updating

Development
(2.7.x)

to

Development
(2.9.x)

at top of table on this page:
http://www.abisource.com/contribute/translate/exist/

If the HTML were checked into SVN, it would be relatively
straightforward to submit patches that could be reviewed easily for
acceptance and publication on the website by whoever is currently
acting as webmaster< at >abisource.com.

I think is not a good idea having a patched version of a library on
our releases. Things like this will be happening all the time.

I'm not sure what decision will we take about this. But I'm really
sure that we don't want that dialog at exporting HTML files... :(

Re: Python binding documentation is missing

J.M. Maurer — 2012-05-17T20:52:29



The good thing is that during last year's GSoC, the HTML exporter gained
a nice function called IE_Exp_HTML.suppressDialog():

  http://svn.abisource.com/abiword/trunk/src/wp/impexp/xp/ie_exp_HTML.h

So it should be fairly trivial to call that in the widget when a user is
exporting to HTML.

You won't be able to solve that problem without extending the widget
API. They way I solved this when the first XO's shipped, was by
distributing some patches in the RPM that simply disabled the HTML
exporter dialog altogether :P

I think I also added those patches to the official Fedora abiword
package, which at the time contained a flag to do a "suger build".
Someone ripped that out a while ago, without ever really solving the
original issue you are now running into as well :'(
