 * Selection of drawing objects anchored at-paragraph works more consistently and user-friendly now (Michael Stahl, CIB)

Tablolar
Important improvements in table handling (László Németh, NISZ):


 * Fast table moving & deletion: Cut command cuts the selected table instead of removing its text content
 * Fast table row/column moving & deletion
 * Cut command cuts the selected table rows or columns, if they are selected by enhanced table selection (clicking in front of them)
 * After that, paste command inserts the removed table part before the actual row/column
 * New Paste Special menu options for pasting table data into tables (in table popup menu and Writer’s Edit menu)
 * Paste Special menu option "Paste as Nested Table"
 * Paste Special menu options "Paste as Rows Above" and "Paste as Columns Before"


 * Improved drag & drop mouse operations to move table data
 * move the selected table instead of duplicate it
 * move rows and columns (selected by enhanced table selection) and wholly selected tables by inserting new table rows above or columns before instead of overwriting cells of the target table. In the case of moving (not copying, i.e. without using the key Ctrl during drag & drop), the selected rows and columns are removed completely, instead of emptying their cells.

Calc

 * Improved selecting cells which contain hyperlinks (Samuel Mehrbrodt, CIB)


 * On  or   or   or   pre-formatted cells a two digit groups input like 12:34 is now accepted as minutes:seconds value instead of the usual hours:minutes:00 value; to force the usual hours:minutes:seconds input on such cells enter three digit groups like 12:34:00.  (Eike Rathke (Red Hat, Inc.))


 * Improved scalability of formula-groups computation on CPUs with large number of cores by potentially threading multiple independent formula-groups together. (Dennis Francis, Collabora)


 * Implemented a parallelized version of super scalar sample sort algorithm (read the paper here) to speed up sorting. This is now used in pivot-table creation where some sorting is required. (Dennis Francis, Collabora)


 * Shading of columns/rows headers is removed; the headers are drawn flat now. (Heiko Tietze)


 * Deleted a 15 symbols limit to password length for XLSX files (Eike Rathke, Red Hat)

 * speed up opening of XLSX file with lots of comments (Noel Grandin, Collabora)

Whole sheet export
Thanks to the new Whole Sheet Export setting of the PDF export options, it is now possible to export your files in Calc to PDF with all pages on a sheet as one page in the PDF. This allows the users to see the full content of a spreadsheet document in a pdf form, without the usual slicing of the sheets into printable pages. official blog post blog post with dev notes    (Muhammet Kara, Collabora)

How to use it?

 * Open your spreadsheet document in LibreOffice Calc
 * From the menu, select
 * On the General tab of the PDF Options dialog, check the option named Full-Sheet Previews (since version 6.4.1 renamed to Whole sheet export)
 * Click the Export button, and choose a location for your preview pdf
 * Enjoy your pdf file of full sheet previews



Available in the Online API
The new full-sheet preview feature has also been added to the Online REST API. The command below can be used to get a full-sheet preview output of a spreadsheet document in the PDF format:

Please note that using the  option is only needed while testing the feature on a local setup, and we recommended against using it for non-testing cases.

Base
Access2Base callable from Python: The Access2Base API for Base users can from the 6.4 release on be invoked either from Basic (as usual) or from Python. In the latter case, the Python process may be running from inside or outside (via sockets) the LibreOffice process. Basic and Python may be mixed in the same application.

Example: run from a Python console (or from a Python script) from access2base import * db = Application.OpenDatabase('C:\...\... .odb') rs = db.OpenRecordset('SELECT * FROM [EXPENSES]') data = rs.GetRows(1000)  # data contains a tuple of (max 1000) Expenses records More to read on the documentation page (Jean-Pierre Ledure).

Firebird embedded database creation put back experimental considering the number of bugs.

BASIC

 * Macros: When converting Hex strings of negative value, treat the high-order bit always as sign bit, e.g., &H8000 = -2^15, &HFFFF = -1, and &H7FFFFFFF = 2^31-1. Behaviour is identical in either modes, i.e., LibO Basic, with Option Compatible, and Option VBA Support 0/1. (Andreas Heinisch)

 * URL/Text: For which QR code is to be made.
 * Correction: Select the complexity of QR code. More complex QR can recover better if destroyed. "Low" is preferable for long URLs.
