Bug Description

Binary package hint: abiword

Update Abiword in Jaunty from 2.6.6 to 2.6.8. This release was released a couple of days ago and consists of bugfixes. Noteworthy changes that make this interesting/important for Jaunty:

# Fix the auto-save feature to actually work and respect the user-selected time interval
# Properly export table border and cell styles for OpenDocument documents
# Make sure the Office Open XML exporter writes out valid documents
# Fix a great number of memory leaks

Full changelog can be found here:
http://www.abisource.com/changelogs/2.6.8.phtml

As this is the default word processor in Xubuntu and since it includes quite a few major fixes to important file formats (ooxml, odt) I think this justifies a FeatureFreeze exception.

(Note: This is the first FFe I have filed. So if I forgot to add anything please say so and I will try to add the needed stuff)

This package exists in Debian now, and perhaps should be sync'd from debian.
