Opțiunile setărilor
- In new installations the default setting for new documents is now Enable wildcards in formulas instead of regular expressions. tdf#88581 (Eike Rathke (Red Hat, Inc.))
- This is for better interoperability with other spreadsheet applications and a better experience for users who are not familiar with regular expressions. Wildcards are more widespread and the large set of regular expression metacharacters often makes queries too complicated for casual users.
- See also ReleaseNotes 5.2 for wildcards.
New spreadsheet functions
Changed spreadsheet functions
- The UI name of EFFECTIVE was changed to EFFECT to be the same as in other spreadsheet applications. tdf#100641 (Eike Rathke (Red Hat, Inc.))
Compatibility with ODF 1.2
ISOWEEKNUM and WEEKNUM_OOO
Releases prior to 5.1 saved WEEKNUM wrongly as ISOWEEKNUM to ODF. Release 5.3 resolves the interim solution introduced with release 5.1 (see ReleaseNotes/5.1#Compatibility_with_ODF_1.2). (Eike Rathke (Red Hat, Inc.))
- When importing ISOWEEKNUM, if the call uses one parameter it is kept as the correct ISOWEEKNUM.
- If the call uses two parameters it is determined if the second argument mode is a literal numeric value unequal to 1 in which case it is mapped to ISOWEEKNUM with one argument, as the old WEEKNUM function implemented exactly that for those modes.
- If the second argument is something different, i.e. a numeric value 1 or an expression, the call is mapped to the WEEKNUM_OOO compatibility function introduced in LibreOffice 5.1.
- WEEKNUM_OOO is now saved as ORG.LIBREOFFICE.WEEKNUM_OOO which releases 5.1 and 5.2 can read.
Formatul numărului
- Fraction Number Formats (Laurent BP)
- any of
#
,?
or0

tdf#100755 tdf#31449
- any string can be used as delimiter between integer and fraction:
#" plus fraction "?/?
will display PI value as3 plus fraction 1/7
tdf#100834
- more accurate representation of fraction with a new algorithm tdf#99996 (Wolfgang Jäger)
- new default formats with forced denominator tdf#100592
- if denominator has less digits than places, it is now left aligned tdf#102507: with format
# ?/???
value 3.5 is displayed as
3 1/2
(with two spaces after fraction), instead of3 1/ 2
(old behavior)

Base
- Firebird has been upgraded to version 3.0.0. It is unable to read back Firebird 2.5 data, so embedded firebird odb files created in LibreOffice version up to 5.2 cannot be opened with LibreOffice 5.3. Since a future version of firebird will have a backwards compatibility module, some future version of LibreOffice (embedding this future version of firebird) will also be able to open these older files.
- Embedded firebird switched to Firebird's "archive" format, which is version and endianness independent, so this issue won't happen again.
- ODB files created by LibreOffice < 5.3 can be manually converted to LibreOffice 5.3 format by using Firebird 2.5 to convert the data to archive format, and replacing the database data within the ODB by the archive format version. To do this, install a stand-alone Firebird 2.5, and use its "gbak" tool to convert the file "database.fdb" to "database.fbk" within the odb file. Don't forget to remove the .fdb file.
Chart
- Trend line (regression) equation:
- Y name (default "
f(x)
") and X name (default "x
") can be replaced by names defined by user tdf#100547 (Laurent BP)
