    About this Page

    This is an in-progress scratch-pad of notes to build release notes from as and when we release. Please do not list features that are to be shipped already in the 24.2 release! Please do not add wish-list features that you hope will be implemented, but only what actually is implemented already.

    What does a good feature look like here:

    • It has a short description, and a way for a busy reviewer to find and play with the feature. Target someone who is extremely busy, and knows little-to-nothing about the product. So if a user interface element is key to the feature, be very explicit about where it is, e.g. using a menu path that leads to it: Format ▸ Character ▸ Position [tab] ▸ ‘90 degrees’.
    • It credits the main authors who did the work (add them in parentheses after the feature description) and references the relevant Bugzilla ticket.
    • If the feature can be shown off with a sample file – particularly for new import-able features, it would be wonderful to have a link to a test file that we can use to show that feature off to best effect. That really helps us to make good screenshots to show off the features, and allows reviewers to do their testing.

    For more details, see the guidelines.

    Thanks in advance for your help filling this out!

    Silabación

    Excluir palabras de la silabación

    Format ▸ Character... ▸ Position ▸ Exclude from Hyphenation is the first and ODF-compliant solution to disable the hyphenation of selected words in hyphenated paragraphs without losing spell checking and locale-dependent text layout. blog post. (László Németh) tdf#106733

    “No Break” context menu and visualization

    Hyphenated words got a new context menu item “No Break” to disable their hyphenation using the new “Exclude from hyphenation” character formatting. (The context menu item remains available for the words with disabled hyphenation to enable their hyphenation again.) (László Németh) tdf#161563

    Words with disabled hyphenation are visualized with light gray dotted underline in Show Formatting Marks mode. tdf#161565

    Silabación cruzando páginas

    By disabling Format ▸ Paragraph... ▸ Text Flow ▸ Hyphenation across options, both parts of a hyphenated word shall lie within a single column, page or spread. blog post. (László Németh) tdf#132599

    • By disabling Column (which disables also Page and Spread), Writer moves the last hyphenated line of the column or page to the next column or page, similar to the default behavior of MSO 2013 and newer.
    • By disabling only Spread, Writer moves the last hyphenated line of the right pages to the next page (a spread is a set/pair of a left and a right page, which can be seen simultaneously, for instance when opening a book), according to New Hart’s Rules (Oxford University Press, 2005).
    • By disabling Page, last hyphenated line of every page moves to the next page.
    • By disabling Last full line of paragraph, the hyphenated word of the last full line of the paragraph moves to the last line (if there is enough place for it). This results in longer last lines, and removed hyphenation in the bottom right-hand corner of the paragraph.

    Compound constituent characters at line end

    In Format ▸ Paragraph... ▸ Text Flow ▸ Compound characters at line end, set 3 (or more) characters to improve the hyphenation in Danish, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Norwegian and Swedish by preferring the hyphenation between constituents of a compound word instead of breaking the second (third, etc.) constituent right after its first 2 (or more) characters. (László Németh) tdf#158885

    For example, German “Computerprogramm” can be hyphenated as “Computerpro-gramm”, but setting 4, only “Computer-programm”, according to its compound constituents Computer|programm.

    This can be useful for better typography, especially in headings or left-aligned text.

Python scripts may benefit from the support of type hints when using the ScriptForge API.

    LibreOffice Help

    Help content updates and fixes:

    Compatibilidad con plataformas

    Windows 7 and 8/8.1 are now deprecated platforms. The Extended Security Updates program on Windows Embedded POSReady 7 expires on October 8, 2024. Mainstream support for the Embedded Standard edition of Windows 8 ended on July 10, 2018, and extended support ended on July 11, 2023.

    Extensions and features relying on Python will not work on Windows 7. This is because the minimum Python version had to be raised to 3.9, which has no official support on Windows 7. There are unofficial ways to make Python 3.9 work on Windows 7.

    Starting with LibreOffice 25.2, there will be no guarantee that LibreOffice will work on Windows 7 or 8/8.1. Support will not be intentionally removed at this point and fixes to problems exclusively affecting these platforms will still be accepted.

    On non-Windows platforms, a random device (/dev/urandom) is now required to exist and be readable by LibreOffice. (Michael Stahl, allotropia) e9531b79


    Cambios en la API

    • New UNO command .uno:ChangeTheme to toggle between Light and Dark modes. (Justin Luth, Collabora) tdf#160349
    • Draw: new UNO command .uno:SetLayer to move objects to a different layer. (Jim Raykowski) tdf#122587

    Configuration Changes

    • Remove unused printing options. (Samuel Mehrbrodt, allotropia) tdf#158041
    • Remove some unused config keys. (Samuel Mehrbrodt, allotropia)
    • Bootstrap variables are now looked-for first in a fundamental.override.ini file next to the application. LibreOffice itself does not bring along such a file, but it can be convenient for an administrator to place one in an installation. (Stephan Bergmann, allotropia) 8b53fa72
      • The Windows-specific tunables LimitMaximumMemoryInMB and ExcludeChildProcessesFromLimit are now looked-for in the [Bootstrap] section of fundamental.override.ini rather than in a [Win32] section of bootstrap.ini. c84e8a14
      • Similarly, the Windows-specific EnableAttachThreadInputHack is treated as a normal bootstrap variable now, rather than being looked-for in a [Win32] section of bootstrap.ini. 6047341f
      • For backwards compatibility, the above are all additionally still looked-for in a [Win32] section of bootstrap.ini. This behavior is deprecated and will be removed in a later version. ebd3f097
