This release fixes the page layout tool, a few bugs in the table layout, and a bug while scrolling with the arrow keys. New features include full support for page headers and footers including page numbers, functionality for making a table of contents as references and page number references, less flicker on slow computers, command-line conversion to HTML or plain text, command-line postscript output, improvements in WMF drawing and support for PAGEREF fields (which make the pdf files from the printed postscript very similar to the RTF original), steps toward Cyrillic support, documentation and interface improvements, and Ted can now be compiled to use the Gtk+ widget set.
Editing behavior is now closer to that of Word. E.G. support for Control key in navigation and selection has been extended. Support more keyboards shortcuts. E.G. for Bold, Italic, Underline. Things work again with earlier versions of Motif (LessTif was like Motif 2.0). Private compilations and installations have been made easier. On some versions of Motif, the file selection dialog was not forced to be on top of the document window. Some bugs were fixed, in particular, in the picture code. As a preparation for headers/footers and page numbers, more section properties relating to these are supported. Many people contributed translated resource files, which are also included in this release. A bug in the production of the Czech and Slovak spell index file have been solved. It is now easier to influence the default printer and the paper size for a print command.
Fixes for reading the spell checker dictionaries on big-Endian machines, a bug that occasionally caused crashes when the last paragraph of a multi-page document was deleted, and an annoyance with locales that use a comma in decimal numbers and printing, visible pagination on screen, preparations for page headers, footers, and page numbers, many new features for printing the document, such as printing selections and multiple pages per sheet of paper, and support for Level 1 PostScript printers.
Picture files and spelling dictionaries are now read in a machine-independent way (to avoid problems on 64 bit machines), the HTML produced is now simpler, some bugs and peculiarities in the nesting of tags have been removed, support for multiple line spacing and for right and center tabs has been added, hyperlinks are no longer automatically underlined, better support for character sets different from Latin 1 has been added, and various bugs have been fixed.
