LibreOffice 5.4: Release Notes

From The Document Foundation Wiki

Sobre esta 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 5.3 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!

UNO API changes

SDK changes

  • The salcpprt static library (that could be linked into executables, containing replacements of global operator new/delete forwarding to rtl/alloc.h) is removed. cfd2691e5bf398304d7816227b933e53907b6204
  • On macOS, the OO_SDK_JAVA_HOME path (as auto-determined by setsdkenv_unix) now points at the JDK’s Home sub-directory, for consistency with other platforms. If you have a special setup to reuse a single setsdkenv_unix.sh across multiple versions of the SDK, you will need to adapt that. Also, the Make variable JAVABIN has become unused and was removed from settings.mk (on all platforms). c306c444bfd3d0984741fd99ed4f29016ef14ee2
