  • Export of charts into odc (ODF chart files)
  • Inserting odc files into Calc sheets through Insert > Object > Chart from File
  • Charts can now be also exported to vector graphics (e.g. SVG,PDF) fdo#60137
Core
  • Reduce java code: Port Agenda Wizard to python. Remove 11 files, 5345 lines of java code
  • Port Web Wizard to python. 140 files changed, 5076 (+), 11416 (-). Removed 55 files, 10426 lines of java code

  • Access Recent Documents directly from the toolbar using a dropdown next to the "Open" button, and improve the Recent Documents menu
Localization Right-to-Left Support Infrastructure
  • Completed the port to gnumake, and removed all dmake makefiles and internal binary, this gives significant build parallelism and build-time improvements see [blog] - many people helped in this work
  • Instead of passing a vast number of pre-processor defines -DFOO on every compiler command-line, along with a similarly large amount of makefile rules to set these for various files, we now use autoconf to produce many separate config_host/config_feature.h include files to include which avoid lots of this annoyance
  • Converted large numbers of component instantiations to use the new, much cleaner and more readable service constructors
Extensions
  • Gallery improvements
    • Galleries can now be named with sensible names such as "mygallery.thm" rather than sg<integer> avoiding conflicts in the integer number-space and making it easier to package them.
    • Galleries are created at compile time from a flat list of files - making it easy to extend them.
    • Add ability to translate gallery files using a .desktop file syntax '.str' file placed next to the gallery thus
       name[en_US]=My Gallery
       name[de]=Meine Gallery
       name[fr]=...

  • Support for Mac OS X for PowerPC has been dropped.

Wijzig sortering
Tevens zijn er ook meer dan 1000 bugs gefixt in beta 1 tenopzichte van versie 4.0
Waaronder een update van het nederlandse woordenboek :)

De ReleaseNotes met screenshots zijn hier te vinden: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1

Volgens mij is met deze release het laatste beetje Java-code verdwenen en is nu alles C++/Python. Soms is er voor bepaalde extensies nog wel Java nodig. Je hoeft overigens Python niet geïnstalleerd te hebben, er word een meegeleverde versie gebruikt. :)
Er is inderdaad heel wat Java code uit gegooid en geport naar Python...
Zoals @Sthomkop zegt: 'heel wat'. Nog niet alles.
De 'Report Builder' leunt bijvoorbeeld nog steeds op Java (probeer je Java maar eens uit te schakelen en wat te spelen met een database :-) )

Wat ik eigenlijk mis in alle Office pakketten is een solver voor mathematische formules, zoals mathcad. Als je nu een verslag moet schrijven is het altijd klooien met de formule editors en je kan de uitkomsten ook niet makkelijk verifiëren (door bv naar de units te kijken).

Maar LO blijft stappen maken. Goed bezig!

Zit hier ook een solver in? De documentatie is slecht en in Frans (je ne parlez Francois). Ik denk dat het crapware is...
http://www.dmaths.org/doc...ku.php?id=presentation:en

Voila, engelstalige documentatie. Het is GPL software dus je moet in staat zijn of het inderdaad crapware is zoals je denkt of het is dat wat je zoekt.

Thanks. Iets te snel geoordeeld. Er zit een hoop in. Helaas nog geen solver kunnen ontdekken.

Op dit item kan niet meer gereageerd worden.
