Jean Brefort
- Fix a typo in the GNOME Office Chart plugin
- Avoid crashes when objects have 0 height (related to bug 10482)
- GR_UnixGraphics::genImageFromRectangle: return NULL if x, y, w or h is invalid (related to bug 10482)
- Better chart resizing
- Add +1 to embedded run width and heights when redrawing after unselect, to ensuree the whole selection rectangle is removed
- Don't display "GNOME Office Chart" in the open dialog at all (Unix, bug 10380)
- Don't use more %s's in a translated string than in the original string; prevents crashes on error messages
- Bugfixes: 10473

Malte Cornils
- Umlauts are not converted correctly by the LaTeX exporter on non-latin1 documents (bug 10558)
- Italics with textit{} as generated by the LaTeX exporter are ugly (bug 10560)
- Make the LaTeX exporter better mask quotes (bug 10559)

Hubert Figuiere
- Bugfixes: 10423

Tomas Frydrych
- Various fixes and updates to support the Maemo 2 environment
- Fix centered alignment causes tabs to collapse (bug 10491)
- Fix Ctrl + backspace only deletes one word in revisions mode (bug 10176)
- Fix invalid memory reads when resizing text box in revisions mode (bug 10374)
- Bugfixes: 10486

Dom Lachowicz
- Hint that the clipboard manager should store the clipboard data, should we exit or something; conditional on gtk 2.6 or newer (Unix, bug 9069)
- Move libgsf initialization to the WordPerfect plugin's register() function; should fix bugs like 7057
- Fix IDEF vulnerabilities IDEF1613 and IDEF1614 in the MS Word import library wvWare
- Fix a crash after inserting an empty mail merge field (bug 10475)
- On modern gcc, special characters are no longer converted in the LaTeX exporter (bug 10557, initial patch proposal from Malte Cornils)
- Get rid of a duplicate case value in the LaTeX exporter
- When exporting to HTML, TOCs look like Wikipedia TOCs now, inside of their own container. They and their links also W3C validate (bug 10562, 10563 and 10565)
- Use the locale transactor in the OpenDocument importer and exporter, so that we get '9.5' instead of '9,5' in some locales (also fix this in the WordPerfect, KWord, MS Write OpenWriter and LaTeX plugins)
- The clipboard manager abuses GTK+'s 'persist on exist' api, causing unecessary strain on other applications like Gnumeric (Unix, bug 10535)
- When people choose 'Export as Text', they will always get UTF-8 encoded text now, and not text in their locale or text in the MS Word document's locale. This is the only solution that avoids dataloss, and people can choose 'Encoded Text' if they really mean something else.

Martin Sevior
- Fix inability to delete an empty table row with no selection (bug 10057)

- Fix a memory leak in the HTML exporter
- Don't attempt to clear() an empty string in the DocBook exporter
- Don't open or close /card/s inside of tables in the WML exporter (e.g. if there's a /frame/ inside of a /cell/). Also, handle cases where document data is between a //cell/ and a //table/, which can happen with some imported Word files.

- Check the return value of genImageFromRectangle() in the Math plugin (related to bug 10482)
- Fix a small memory leak in the Format Text Box dialog
