Writer
- Ajout d'un assistant de numéro de page dans le menu Insertion pour une insertion facile en une seule étape du numéro de page dans l'en-tête/pied de page tdf#86630 (Paris Opplopoios / Justin Luth, Collabora)
- La liste déroulante Style de paragraphe (dans la barre d'outils de formatage) remplace désormais progressivement la liste par défaut par les styles utilisés dans le document plutôt que d'afficher toujours la liste complète en haut. tdf#152666 (Heiko Tietze, TDF)
- Les propriétés de caractère du marqueur de paragraphe DOCX sont désormais également mémorisées dans ODT. [article de blog https://vmiklos.hu/blog/sw-number-portion.html] (Miklos Vajna, Collabora)
- Gestion des citations : ajout du code nécessaire dans Writer pour créer des fonctionnalités de type Zotero article de blog (Miklos Vajna, Collabora)
- Citation handling: Reference Marks no longer expand unexpectedly when typing with the cursor placed after them. tdf#81720 (Matti Tyrväinen)
- La table des figures peut être générée de manière plus flexible en fonction d'un style de paragraphe, et pas seulement par catégories ou noms d'objets. tdf#153090 (Michael Stahl, allotropia)
- Les entrées de bibliographie peuvent maintenant être éditées directement depuis une table de bibliographie. tdf#72955 (Vojtěch Doležal)
- Les marques bibliographiques disposent désormais (par défaut) d'un lien hypertexte vers la ligne correspondante dans une table bibliographique. Le comportement du clic peut être modifié pour ouvrir l'" URL à afficher ", ouvrir la nouvelle " URL cible " ou " Aucune ". tdf#153396 (Vojtěch Doležal)
- Début des tableaux flottants multipages dans Writer commits, article de blog 1, article de blog 2, article de blog 3 article de blog 4 article de blog 5 (Miklos Vajna, Collabora)
- La vérification de l'accessibilité a été déplacée vers le volet latéral pour permettre une utilisation plus facile lors de la modification du document. tdf#142978 (Samuel Mehrbrodt, allotropia)
- Si il y a une section masquée dans le document et que l'utilisateur essaie (sans doute accidentellement) de la supprimer, Writer affiche un message d'avertissement tdf#130199 (Balazs Varga, allotropia)
- Reconnaissance des citations DOI dans Outils/Correction automatique : créez un lien hypertexte pointant vers [1] pour la citation DOI tdf#145925 (Baole Fang)

- Navigation au clavier dans les formulaires : la touche de tabulation navigue désormais de manière circulaire à travers les contrôles de contenu/marques de champ. Les contrôles de contenu modernes ont un champ tabIndex, qui permet un ordre précis de la navigation au clavier. Le champ tabIndex permet également d'ignorer un contrôle - ce qui est utile pour éviter de rester coincé dans des contrôles de texte enrichi (puisque la touche de tabulation doit insérer un caractère de tabulation dans ce cas). Les développeurs de formulaires peuvent spécifier le champ tabIndex via l'interface utilisateur des propriétés de contrôle de contenu. tdf#151548 (Justin Luth, Collabora)

- Added pivot table compact layout. core commit 2f8d1 (Dennis Francis, Collabora)
- Add Poisson distribution to Random Number Generators ( ▸ ▸ ) tdf#154872 (Bartosz Kosiorek)
Sorting by color is now possible in AutoFilter tdf#95520 (Samuel Mehrbrodt, allotropia)
- Filter/sort by color considers colors set by number format tdf#144549 (Samuel Mehrbrodt, allotropia)
- Import Text dialog (as CSV file or as Unformatted Text) have a new option to not detect number in scientific notation. This option is only available if "Detect special numbers" is off tdf#154131 (Laurent Balland)
- add “formula marker” feature like in Quattro Pro tdf#97551 (feature requested by Brolin Empey in 2016, feature added by Grigory A. Mozhaev in 2023)
- If you have enabled the 'Protect Size' option for a shape or form control and you see a different size after reopening the document, please do the following:
If it is a form control, put the form in 'Design Mode'. This is an icon on the 'Form Controls' toolbar. Then right-click on the shape or form control and open the 'Anchor' item in the context menu. If the anchor is set to 'To cell (resize with cell)', you are affected by the following problem.
The settings 'Protect size' and anchor 'To cell (resize with cell)' contradict each other. Unfortunately, versions prior to 7.6 had this contradiction written to the file in different ways, so an automatic repair is not possible. Version 7.6 automatically writes the 'To Cell' anchor to the file if the shape or form control is size protected.
To repair your file, set the anchor type to 'To cell'. Then uncheck the 'Protect Size' option and set the shape to the desired size and position. Now you can re-enable the 'Protect size' option. Then save the file. The shape or form control now has an unchanged size on reopening, not only in version 7.6, but also in older versions.
Possibly the problem was created because the 'Control Properties' dialog contains an 'Anchor' dropdown field with the entry 'To cell', but this is actually the anchor type 'To cell (resize with cell)'.
Please excuse that we did not detect the problem earlier. - Fix theme background color lost during XLSX export tdf#91332 (Tünde Tóth, NISZ)
- The color for comments respectively "Notes background" and the "Text overflow" indicator can now be changed via tdf#154080 (Heiko Tietze, TDF) ▸ ▸ ▸

- Added support to open multi image tiff files tdf#155444 (Rashesh Padia, Collabora)
- Auto fitting text scaling algorithm has been changed so it works similar to MS Office. Text scaling now separates scaling for the spacing scale (paragraph and line spacings) and font scale, where spacing scale can only be 100%, 90% and 80% and font scaling is rounded to the nearest point size. Spacing in the horizontal direction (for example bullet size, various indents) is not scaled anymore. (Tomaž Vajngerl, Collabora)

- Added new Theme dialog to change the currently used theme
- Also added the possibility to define new theme colors for a theme
- Sidebar theme deck has been adapted to also work
- Added support for multicolor gradients (Armin Le Grand, allotropia)
- LibreOffice 7.6 has a new feature called "multicolor gradients" (MCGR) implemented by Armin Le Grand. A multicolor gradient still goes from a starting color to final color, but now additional colors are possible in between.
- Although the 'Gradient' tab in the 'Area' dialog has not yet been adapted to the new feature, you can use such gradients. The document File:InfoPresentation MultiColor Gradients LO76.odp lists hints on what you can already do, and the 'Gradient' list in the dialog contains three multicolor gradient examples.
- You can create and modify multicolor gradients using macros, see the 'Gradient2' struct and the associated 'ColorStop' struct in the SDK API reference https://api.libreoffice.org/docs/idl/ref/index.html. Find more details and some primitive example macros in the file File:MacrosForMCGR.odp.
- Since this is a new feature, you might find errors. In this case, please help improve the feature by reporting the issue in our bug tracking system "Bugzilla" https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Bugzilla. When doing so, mention 'MCGR' in the subject line.
- Some notes:
- LibreOffice versions prior to 7.6 cannot interpret multicolor gradients. They will display a gradient made from the first and last color.
- You need to use "1.3 Extended (recommended)" file format. This is the default setting, so don't worry.
- Some gradient properties in ODF (LibreOffice) and OOXML (Microsoft Office) are basically incompatible. This problem is not solved by multicolor gradients.
- Each view of a document now can have its language specific accelerator manager (Gökay Şatır, Collabora).
Entering a group once again dims the objects that are not included in it. tdf#122735 (Armin Le Grand, allotropia).

Écriture de script
Les bibliothèques ScriptForge
Une collection extensible et robuste de ressources de macro pour LibreOffice à invoquer à partir de scripts utilisateur Basic ou Python. (Jean-Pierre Ledure)
Les bibliothèques exposent un total de 31 services avec chacun un ensemble de méthodes et de propriétés.
Nouveau dans LibreOffice 7.6 :
- The (new) FormDocument service (a form document is also known as a "Base form", but this is confusing): open (even without first opening the Base document container), close, print, export to PDF, menubar management, access to individual controls.
- The (new) Toolbar and ToolbarButton services: hide/show built-in or custom toolbars, hide/show individual toolbar buttons, get or set the script or command to execute when clicked.
- In the Calc service: ranges may be sorted on any number of keys. Also a new RemoveDuplicates method, to clear or to compact ranges, keeping only one copy of identical records.
- A new Echo method in the Document service to freeze screen updates during scripts or to change the actual mouse pointer.
- Many improvements on the Dialog and DialogControl services:
- Support of the Hyperlink control type
- Dialog controls may be resized. The height and width are expressed in Map AppFont units, like in the Basic IDE.
- All the On properties (to specify the script to be executed when an event occurs) are now editable.
- Dialog controls may be created dynamically.
- Dialog controls may be cloned with the new CloneControl method.
- A dialog can be created from scratch.
- Tabulations between controls are defined at once by the new OrderTabs method.
The whole set of services (except when better done by native built-in functions) is made available for Python scripts with identical syntax and behaviour as in Basic.
The English version of the documentation of the ScriptForge libraries (7.6) is fully integrated in the LibreOffice help pages (https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03/lib_ScriptForge.html?DbPAR=BASIC). Their translation into other languages is underway. (Alain Romedenne, Rafael Lima)

Shortcut visibility setting (for context menus) has been removed from ShortcutsInContextMenus
is still available if needed (0
to hide, 1

Modifications API
css.qa.XDumper::dump
got akind
parameter. core commit 56e17- remove
.uno:CharBackgroundExt
's secondary use to set background color. Instead use .uno:CharBackColor for 7.6+. tdf#85592 - deprecate
.uno::BackColor
to set background color in Writer. Instead use the universal .uno:CharBackColor for 7.6+. tdf#85592 - The C functions
rtl_string_newFromStr
andrtl_uString_newFromStr
, and the C++ constructors forrtl::OString(char const *)
andrtl::OUString(sal_Unicode const *)
wrapping those functions, no longer support the undocumented behavior of accepting a null pointer string argument and treating it as an empty string. (Such calls had already been diagnosed withstd::abort
in debug builds since LibreOffice 7.2.) core commit 6028e - The
Gradient2
struct and theColorStop
struct were added to support multicolor gradients. Search for MCGR to get the related commits. For more about multicolor gradients look at section Core/General.
