abiword (2.9.2+svn20120603-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * lintian-overrides:
    + 'hardening-no-fortify-functions' (false-positives).

      crash on 'Paste Unformatted'.

So I'd appreciate everyone that is familiar with abiword to test the puddin' out of it over the next week or so ;^)

It looks good to me but my use of a word processor is fairly mundane.

PS: I wonder if Nicholas would want to share this with Xubuntu QA?

PPS: If this seems stable enough in Quantal then I'll try to get the updates into 12.04 proposed :^)
