    Acerca de está página

    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 4.4 release! Please do not add wish-list features that you hope will be implemented, but only what actually is implemented already.

    After you add a release note, please also add this text into the Whiteboard field of the respective Bugzilla report, referencing the appropriate LibreOffice version: inReleaseNotes:xx.y

    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!

    Soporte para reemplazar Emoji e in-word

    Los sistemas operativos modernos cuentan con soporte de Unicode 6 con varios Emojis y caractéres especiales. LibreOffice 5 tiene un nuevo sistema de autocorrección para simplificar el uso de estos Emojis y otros caracteres Unicode usando los shortcodes de facto.
    Por ejemplo: Escribiendo en Writer, :teclado: aparecerá ⌨ (U+2328), :alfa: por α. Se puede consultar la lista completa en Herramientas ▸ Opciones de autocorrección… ▸ Reemplazar:

    Cuadro de diálogo de autocorrección con los shortnames de Emoji(usando la fuente standard Windows Segoe UI Emoji)

    Las palabras encerradas entre dos puntos son manejadas especialmente por la característica de autocorrección de LibreOffice: son reemplazadas inmediatamente sin necesidad de escribir un espacio en blanco. Es muy útil cuando se hacen documentos de topografía, fonología. matemáticas, etc. Algunas de estas palabras son: 

    :-: → − (signo de resta, U+2212)
:--: → – (n-dash, U+2013) (ver tdf#55292)
:---: → — (guión largo, U+2014) (ver tdf#55292)
:x: → × (signo de multiplicación, U+00D7)
:': → ’ (apostrofo, U+2019)
:pulgada: → ″ pulgada (U+2033)

    Ejemplo de reemplazamiento múltiple:: 

    :alfa::<=::sumatoria::Fi::_i: se transforma en α≤∑Φᵢ

    Los shortcodes han sido traducidos completa o parcialmente. (László Németh, Collabora and translators of LibreOffice project: Mihail Balabanov (Bulgarian), Joan Montané (Catalan), Mihovil Stanić (Croatian), Stanislav Horáček (Czech), Leif Lodahl (Danish), Kees538 (Dutch), Harri Pitkänen (Finnish), Jean-Baptiste Faure (French), Dimitris Spingos (Greek), László & Réka Németh (Hungarian), Valter Mura (Italian), Ingmārs Dīriņš (Latvian), Kolbjørn Stuestøl (Norwegian Nynorsk), Sérgio Marques (Portuguese), Olivier Hallot (Brazilian Portuguese), Nagy Ákos (Romanian), Bormant (Russian), Miloš Šrámek (Slovak), Martin Srebotnjak (Slovenian), Stuart Swales (British English), Niklas Johansson (Swedish), Necdet Yucel (Turkish) and their contributors, see also more)

    La existencia de los caracterés dependerá del tipo de letra (Fuente) que se este utilizando.

    Formula engine

    Table structured references

    tdf#85063 (Eike Rathke)

    • Table structured references in spreadsheet formula expressions are imported from OOXML spreadsheet documents.
    • Usable with defined database ranges, which OOXML tables (content of <table> elements) are imported to.
    • The following restrictions apply:
      • The column names must be present as cell content in the table's header row; column-header-less tables are not supported.
      • Saving to ODF or OOXML, structured references are not written, but transformed to A1 style reference notation instead. The references continue to work, but the table context is lost on export.
      • Saving to OOXML, the defined database ranges are not exported as <table> elements.
      • Saving to binary .xls (Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Format), formulas using table structured references are lost.

    New spreadsheet functions

    • Changes related to FLOOR and CEILING spreadsheet functions. tdf#69552 (Winfried Donkers and Eike Rathke)
      • The second parameter of FLOOR and CEILING is now optional, as defined by OpenFormula (ODFF).
      • Additional FLOOR.XCL and CEILING.XCL functions were introduced that expect only two parameters and both parameters have to be specified. When importing Microsoft Excel documents, their old FLOOR and CEILING functions are imported as FLOOR.XCL and CEILING.XCL
      • New functions FLOOR.MATH and CEILING.MATH were added for Microsoft Excel interoperability. tdf#87342 (Winfried Donkers)
      • Exporting to Microsoft Excel file formats, Calc FLOOR and CEILING are written as Excel FLOOR.MATH and CEILING.MATH, and Calc FLOOR.XCL and CEILING.XCL are written as Excel FLOOR and CEILING
    • Added ENCODEURL spreadsheet function for Microsoft Excel interoperability. tdf#76870 (Winfried Donkers)
    • Added ERROR.TYPE spreadsheet function according to OpenFormula (ODFF) and for Microsoft Excel interoperability. (Winfried Donkers)

    A:A / 1:1 entire column/row references

    tdf#44419 (Eike Rathke)

    • It is now possible to specify references to entire columns or rows using the A:A or 1:1 notation instead of A1:A1048576 or A1:AMJ1
      • Such references will be saved as A$1:A$1048576 or $A1:$AMJ1 to maintain interoperability with earlier releases and other applications reading ODF spreadsheet documents.
      • When reading from a document, A$1:A$1048576 or $A1:$AMJ1 are converted to A:A or 1:1 notation.
        • Note that for entire column references both row anchors have to be either absolute or relative, and for entire row references both column anchors have to be either absolute or relative to have the reference converted into A:A or 1:1 notation. Mixed absolute/relative anchors lead to a full range notation being displayed, e.g. A$1:A1048576 or A1:A$1048576 because Calc assumes the user did that on purpose.
      • Inserting rows/columns to or deleting rows/columns from entire column/row references keeps the anchored other axis' endpoints, in particular inserting rows in a column reference will not produce a #REF! error and deleting rows in a column reference will not move the last referenced row that number of rows up, contrary to the standard A1:A1048576 reference behaviour. For example, with previous versions, =SUM(A1:A1048576) became =SUM(A1:A1048566) after deleting 10 lines from 10 to 20. With Version 5 the formula does not change =SUM(A:A).
      • Standard absolute/relative reference addressing can be used, i.e. A:B, A:$B, $A:B and $A:$B are all valid references and imply the same different reference update mechanisms when copy&paste, fill, move and other spreadsheet editing operations affecting cell formula references are applied.

    Crop, change and save an image

    tdf#34555 (Philippe Jung)

    • It is now possible from Format ▸ Image menu, from contextual menu and from graphic toolbar, to Crop an Image with the mouse, to Save an image and to Change it by another image from disk. These functionalities behave like in Impress or Writer.
    • Format menu has been updated accordingly, there are now:
      • Format ▸ Object entry with Position and Size, Line, Area, Define Text Attributes and Points
      • Format ▸ Image entry with Crop, Edit with External Tool, Change Image, Compress Image, Save Image.

    User settings - location of the user profile

    The user profile will be in the same location as your previous version of LibreOffice. That is for example:

    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4\user or /home/<username>/.config/libreoffice/4/user .

    This takes away the need to automatically migrate an existing user profile with the installation of the new version. See 468aaa1bcf96c86c4a33b5dcd0aabb41e14b042d and minutes of the ESC and tdf#93057.

    Localization

    A brand new Guarani localization

    LibreOffice’s user interface has been completely translated into Guarani (avañe’ẽ), the native language of the Paraguayan people. This groundbreaking work confirms the innovation pace of the LibreOffice project towards facilitating the use of technology for as many people as possible, which is one of the ethos of The Document Foundation. Special thanks go to Giovanni Caligaris (who is leading this effort), András Tímar (Collabora), Christian Lohmaier, and Eike Rathke (Red Hat).

    • Chechen:
    • Kabyle: Hamidi Massinissa
    • Venetian: Alessandro Mocellin
    If you speak an endangered language and want to help us to achieve our goals of providing libre tools to every person on the planet, please join us.

    Feature removal / deprecation

    • The obsolete, StarOffice-inherited option “Use system font for user interface” was removed. LibreOffice will always use the system’s font to display its user interface elements. tdf#87016 Thanks to: Julien Nabet and Caolán McNamara (Red Hat).
    • Since the introduction of a new “Elements” docked pane in Math (in version 4.1), it was intended that it would replace the old, OOo-inherited “toolbox”, or floating pane, which was difficult to use and had visual problems in certain UI configurations (such as dark themes). This old element has finally been removed, thus streamlining the UI by removing redundancy. tdf#68871 Thanks to: Julien Nabet and Adolfo Jayme Barrientos.
    • The ability to insert hyperlinks in the NNTP⁠Wikipedia logo v3.svg, IMAP⁠Wikipedia logo v3.svg and POP3⁠Wikipedia logo v3.svg protocols was removed. (6d089a4c, 52417882) Thanks to: Tor Lillqvist (Collabora).
    • Vestigial Gopher⁠Wikipedia logo v3.svg support was dropped as well. tdf#89361 Thanks to: Adolfo Jayme Barrientos.
