    图像旋转

    • Implement rotation of images in Writer to any angle tdf#73797 (Armin Le Grand, CIB)

    This long requested feature (there are 20 year old reports) could now be implemented. It supports rotating Writer FlyFrames (e.g. inserted Graphics) freely around their center. UI elements to support this were added in various places (Dialog, Sidebar). Direct setting of rotation is extended to allow simple reset ('Reset Rotation'). A 'rotate' interactive mode was added to allow the same interactions as when Draw-Objects are selected. The interactive Cropping was adapted to work with rotated graphics (WYSIWIG). When a frame is used, it gets 'expanded' to the bounding rectangle of the rotated graphic (a feature to allow rotating with the Object is planned for the future). The text can wrap around a rotated Image using the existing 'Contour' feature ('Edit Contour') adding a whole rectangle covering the Image using the Contour-Editor (a single action, e.g. a Button, to do this in one step may be implemented to make this more accessible to the user). The following picture shows examples of this feature in action.

    New table styles in Writer

    “Grammar By” spell checking

    User dictionaries allow automatic affixation or compounding, supporting effective editing and technical dictionary creation in several languages. tdf#113739 (László Németh)

    This is a general spell checking improvement of LibreOffice, but it can speed up especially the work of Writer users. Instead of manual handling of hundreds of correct word forms of a new word in a language with rich morphology or compounding, Hunspell spell checker will recognize the new user dictionary word with affixes or in compounds, too, based on a “Grammar By” model word. Screencasts about the usage: English, German.

    For (a simplified English) example, on the following screen shot of the “Edit custom dictionary” window, the word “crowdfund” is the new word (missing from the American English dictionary), and “fund” is the model word in the new “Grammar By” field (this more common word is part of the Hunspell spell checking dictionary). This way, the new word “crowdfund” will be recognized with suffixes of the word “fund” automatically, too: crowdfund’s, crowdfunds, crowdfunder, crowdfunders and crowdfunding.

    With “Grammar By” spell checking, it will be possible to create and handle technical dictionaries more easily, using existing user interface of custom dictionaries to switch on/off them, for example, medical, technological or other scientific dictionaries shipped with LibreOffice.

    Note: this feature works only in language-dependent user dictionaries, so it needs to create one or modify the language of an existing one.

    Calc

    杂项改进

    • Pivot table interop fixes (Mike Kaganski (Collabora), Tamás Zolnai (Collabora), Bartosz Kosiorek)

    • The main menu (top level) now has an entry “Styles” tdf#91820 (Yousuf Philips)

    粘贴:无格式文本

    • The text/plain Unformatted text format results in unquoted/unescaped content as expected for external pastes. For single cell copy&paste embedded line breaks and tabs are preserved, for multiple cells they are replaced with spaces, effectively being a tab-separated-values (TSV) format. For intra-Calc on-cell pastes using the paste special toolbar button the Unformatted text [TSV-Calc] format can be used, which preserves embedded line breaks and tabs across multiple cells. tdf#113571 tdf#32213 (Eike Rathke (Red Hat, Inc.))
    • Added "Paste unformatted text" command with its hot key Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + Alt + V tdf#50746 (Serge Krot, CIB)

      • SEARCHB returns the starting position of a given text, using byte positions.
      • REPLACEB returns text where an old text is replaced with a new text, using byte positions.

    Impress 和 Draw

    • Addition of open source Arabic fonts tdf#113532 (Yousuf Philips)
    • Removal of Open Sans and PT_Serif fonts tdf#103080 (Yousuf Philips)

    OpenPGP 数字签名及加密

    • on all desktop platforms, you can now use OpenPGP keys to sign ODF documents. tdf#89037 (Katarína Behrens, Samuel Mehrbrodt, Thorsten Behrens - CIB)
    • there is now (experimental) support for OpenPGP-based document encryption as well. On saving ODF documents, the file picker shows an extra checkbox to that effect
    • you need auxiliary software to make use of that feature (LibreOffice will transparently merge available keys if you have the below installed):
      • for Windows, download [1]
      • for Mac, download [2] (some howto is here )
      • for Linux, usually installing a gnupg/gpg package will be enough, perhaps with an additional keymanagement frontend like kleopatra or seahorse. Package names will depend on your Linux distribution
    Document with invalid signature

    TSCP 文档分级

    • Classification (TSCP-based) now allows multiple policies
    • In Writer the marking and signing at paragraph level are possible
    • All this is also saved in Microsoft OOXML-format.

    就地保存修改的图像

    In previous LibreOffice versions when the user tried to save an embedded image through the "Save..." entry available in the context menu, the saved image was the original one more eventually applied filters (which are not removable).
    Further applied transformations like rotations, cropping, color effects were not included in the saved image.

    Starting from this release, LibreOffice offers the user to choose if saving the original image or the modified version through a simple pop-up dialog.
    The new feature is available in Writer, Calc and Draw. (Marco Cecchetti, Collabora)

    Pop-up dialog asking the user for which image version to save

    表格边框的可视化

    The visualization of Borders for Tables was largely redesigned/reimplemented for this release, enhancing display quality and unifying the core mechanisms for their graphical creation (basing them mostly on GraphicPrimitives). Matching and merging of overlapping corners is greatly improved, Multi-Line Borders are internally supported for more than three lines in the core. This Table Borders are used in various places - in Dialogs showing the Border Control Widget, in Writer Tables, in Draw/Impress Tables and (of course) in Calc itself. All of these support merged Cells which need to take incoming lines at merged edges into account correctly. Calc also has some 'extra' features like crossed lines and 'rotated' Cells.(Armin Le Grand, CIB)
    Here is an example image which shows Tables from various Applications:

    Platform Compatibility

    The general build and runtime baselines for Linux, Windows and macOS are now documented in the README.md of the core repository.

    macOS

    • This releases requires at least macOS 10.9.

    Windows

    • Removed support for Windows XP and Windows Vista. The minimum supported Windows version is now Windows 7 SP1.
    • Program installation folder in Windows no longer contains a version number, just \LibreOffice\. tdf#62303 (Mike Kaganski, Collabora) [note 2]
    • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable installation with LibreOffice installer is restored. Due to changes in the redistributable, it is now installed in the separate process, after other LibreOffice components had been installed, and requires separate UAC confirmation. It is not installed when LibreOffice is installed in unattended mode (e.g., using command line switches, or using AD GPO), and in this case, separate installation of the redistributable is required (the redistributable is available from Microsoft website, and redistributable's bitness (32- or 64-bit) must match LibreOffice's bitness).
