Various improvements of bookmark visibility (see
▸ ▸ ▸ ▸ . (László Németh, NISZ)Note: this is a continuation to Michael Stahl’s fix for tdf#45589 ("create and paint text portions for bookmarks"), introduced in LibreOffice 7.0.
- ⌶-shape point bookmark (The previous shape, a single vertical line was overlapped with visible page margin at beginning of the paragraphs, also it was very similar to the NBSP and narrow NBSP shading.) tdf#150791
- ][-shape (i.e. double) marks for neighboring bookmark ranges (instead of a single vertical line, which could not be distinguished from point bookmark symbol previously). tdf#150790
- All bookmarks at the same character position are visible now, e.g. instead of a single |, neighboring bookmarks with point bookmarks are shown e.g. as ] ⌶ [ or ] ] ⌶ ⌶ [ [
- Do not show visible marks for hidden _Toc and _Ref bookmarks imported from OOXML, like Microsoft Office does. tdf#150956

some |text| here
[[ ]]

|text1|text2|
[ ]] [[ ]
- Marks of the same character position are sorted based on their type: ], ⌶, [, e.g.

- Same type marks of the same character position are sorted based on their color:
[c1 [c2 [c3 ... c3] c2] c1]

Lokalisierung
Verbesserungen der Korrekturhilfen und der Sprachunterstützung
Wörterbücher
- Ukrainian dictionary was updated. tdf#149980 (Aron Budea, Collabora)
- Added Persian (fa-IR) dictionary commit (Aron Budea, Collabora)
- Slovenian thesaurus was updated (Martin Srebotnjak, OdprtiTezaver).
Sprachkennzeichen
- The language list combo-box now accepts input of art-... BCP 47 private-use language tags like art-x-mylang or art-Latn-x-mylang (with every valid script subtag for Latn of course). This is an exception to the otherwise not accepted input of private-use subtags preventing mis-spreading arbitrary private-use tags, to support language attribution of artificial constructed languages. tdf#150370 (Eike Rathke, Red Hat)
- Language list entries can be permanently added by dropping an auto-correction file acor_*.dat into the shared or user profile's autocorr/ directory with the corresponding well-formed and valid BCP 47 language tag in its name. The file can be empty (0 bytes length) with no auto-correction data being present, data can be added and edited as usual in AutoCorrect Options. For example, autocorr/acor_de-DE-1901.dat will add the de-DE-1901 tag's language entry that will be displayed as
German (Germany, Traditional German orthography) {de-DE-1901}
If the tag in the file name is not a well-formed BCP 47 language tag or not valid, it is silently ignored and no language list entry will be added. tdf#150371 (Eike Rathke, Red Hat) - For information about IETF BCP 47 language tags, see Wikipedia and W3.org
Neue Sprachen/Lokale mit Gebietsschemadaten
Available as default document language and for locale specific formatting.

Skripterstellung

- The Basic IDE now has a Zoom Slider that allow users to more easily increase/decrease the zoom factor applied to the code editing window. It can also be controlled with Ctrl + Scroll. The font size defined in the Options dialog (0d923 - Rafael Lima). ▸ ▸ ▸ ) is used as the 100% zoom factor (
LibreLogo
LibreLogo programming language is more usable for graphics design with the following improvements (László Németh):
- Up to 6 times speed increase of LABEL command by temporary layout locking of font settings. (Note: locking was suggested by Noel Grandin in tdf#105575, also he made several other performance improvements previously.)
- Up to 32 times speed increase of drawing by custom layout locking using SLEEP -1 & SLEEP 0 command pairs. For example, 800 vector shapes drawn by 4 seconds instead of more than 2 minutes (e50f0)
- LABEL command supports more HTML-like tags for formatting: localized color names, hundreds of OpenType and Graphite font features, font family, font size, strikethrough and highlighting. (43570) Note: bold, italic and underline formatting have been introduced by LO 7.4 in 89c34.
- Portable SVG export for OpenType/Graphite font features, also for rotated text with text portions: font features (glyphs and other settings) and positions of text portions are exported correctly by converting text to curve, as a workaround for the bugs and incompleteness of the SVG export. (fe5cc) Test code with a rotated text containing OpenType/Graphite scientific inferior and red text portion:
PICTURE “test.svg” [
LEFT 45° LABEL “CO<sinf>2</sinf> <red>level</red>” ]
Note: see also #SVG for SVG export which was improved during these LibreLogo developments.
- Fix regression of parsing of default commands in 37d86.
Die ScriptForge-Bibliotheken
An extensible and robust collection of macro scripting resources for LibreOffice to be invoked from user Basic or Python scripts. (Jean-Pierre Ledure)
The libraries expose a total of 28 services each with a bunch of methods and properties.
Neu in LibreOffice 7.5:
- The (new) Datasheet service, to manage tabular views of database data. A datasheet may be opened from a Base window or at any moment (without the Base component being open). Cursor movement and current selection content may be processed by a user script.
- The RunCommand() method may receive arguments (see .UNO:Commands wiki page).
- Error messages provide direct access to the help page of the failing method.
- A new Normalize() method in the FileSystem service.
- In the Calc service, new uses of the FilterFormula concept to selectively clear or format cells, rows or columns.
- Support of 16,384 columns in the Calc service.
- In the Dialog service, a new SetPageManager() method synchronizes automatically dropdown lists, next/previous buttons and tab headers while the user browses through the dialog pages.
- A new basic.CreateUnoStruct() method for Python scripts.
The whole set of services (except when not relevant) is made available for Python scripts with identical syntax and behaviour as in Basic.
The English version of the documentation of the ScriptForge libraries (7.5) is fully integrated in the LibreOffice help pages (https://help.libreoffice.org/7.5/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03/lib_ScriptForge.html?DbPAR=BASIC). Their translation into other languages is underway. (Alain Romedenne, Rafael Lima)

Plattform-Kompatibilität
