libreoffice: Update version from 5.3.5.1 to 5.4.0.3
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
> Berlin, July 28, 2017 – The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice
> 5.4, the last major release of the LibreOffice 5.x family, immediately
> available for Windows, macOS and Linux, and for the cloud. LibreOffice
> 5.4 adds significant new features in every module, including the usual
> large number of incremental improvements to Microsoft Office file
> compatibility.
>
> Shorter, sweeter documents make interoperability easier
>
> Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s “simplicity is the ultimate
> sophistication”, LibreOffice developers have focused on file
> simplicity as the ultimate document interoperability sophistication.
> This makes ODF and OOXML files written by the free office suite more
> robust and easier to exchange with other users than the same documents
> generated by other office suites.
>
> Thanks to the efforts of developers, the XML description of a new
> document written by LibreOffice is 50% smaller in the case of ODF
> (ODT), and around 90% smaller in the case of OOXML (DOCX), in
> comparison with the same document generated by the leading proprietary
> office suite. Additional details in the file simplicity backgrounder:
> https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/5Oe8guDN0XSS7h8.
>
> LibreOffice 5.4 highlights
>
>     A new standard colour palette has been included, based on the RYB
>     colour model.  File format compatibility has been improved, with
>     better support for EMF vector images. This helps when you’re
>     importing detailed diagrams from other office software.  Imported
>     PDF files are rendered with much better quality, also when
>     inserted into a document, while exported PDF files – from Writer
>     and Impress – support embedded videos (and linked videos if opened
>     with Acrobat Reader).  LibreOffice 5.4 supports OpenPGP keys for
>     signing ODF documents on Linux. If you already use GPG/PGP for
>     signing emails, it ensures the authenticity of your ODF documents
>     regardless of the mode of transport or storage.
>
> WRITER
>
>     In Writer, you can now import AutoText from Microsoft Word DOTM
>     templates.  When you’re exporting or pasting numbered and bulleted
>     lists as plain text, their full structure is preserved.  In the
>     Format menu, you can now create custom watermarks for your
>     documents.  New context menu items have been added for working
>     with sections, footnotes, endnotes and styles.
>
> CALC
>
>     Calc now includes support for pivot charts, which use data from
>     pivot tables. When the table is updated, the chart is
>     automatically updated as well.  Comments are now easier to manage,
>     with menu commands to show, hide and delete all comments.  When
>     applying conditional formatting to cells, you can now easily
>     change the priority of rules with up and down buttons.  Extra
>     sheet protection options have been added, to optionally allow
>     insertion or deletion of rows and columns.  Lastly, when you’re
>     exporting in CSV format, your settings are remembered for the next
>     export operation.
>
> IMPRESS
>
>     In Impress, when you’re duplicating an object, you can now specify
>     fractional angles. In addition, your settings are saved for the
>     next duplication operation.
>
> ONLINE
>
>     Finally, LibreOffice Online has been improved as well. Performance
>     is better, while the layout adapts responsively to mobile devices.
>     In addition, a read-only mode has been added.
>
> A list of the most significant new features is presented in a short
> video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBNWOWJul4w). A page with a
> description of new features – and links to relevant resources – is
> available on the wiki at
> https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.4.
>
> LibreOffice 5.4 has also been improved “under the hood,” thanks to the
> work of hundreds of volunteers. This translates into an open source
> office suite which is easier to develop, maintain and debug. Although
> this is not visible to users, it is extremely important for enterprise
> deployments.
>
> LibreOffice Online
>
> LibreOffice Online is fundamentally a server service and should be
> installed and configured by adding a cloud storage and an SSL
> certificate. It might be considered an enabling technology for the
> cloud of ISPs or the private cloud of enterprises and large
> organizations. Builds of the latest LibreOffice Online source code are
> available as Docker images:
> https://hub.docker.com/r/libreoffice/online/. Background document
> providing the positioning of LibreOffice Online:
> https://nextcloud.documentfoundation.org/s/uSdCYL2TgPa3yUI.
>
> Enterprise deployments
>
> LibreOffice 5.4 represents the bleeding edge in term of features for
> open source office suites, and as such is targeted at technology
> enthusiasts, early adopters and power users. For enterprise class
> deployments, TDF maintains the more mature 5.3 family – to be updated
> very soon with the announcement of the 5.3.5 release – which should
> always be supported by certified professionals
> (http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/professional-support/).
>
> Several companies sitting in TDF Advisory Board
> (http://www.documentfoundation.org/governance/advisory-board/) are
> providing either value added Long Term Supported versions of
> LibreOffice or consultancy services for migrations and training, based
> on best practices distilled by The Document Foundation. LibreOffice is
> deployed by large organizations in every continent. A list of the most
> significant migrations announced in the media is available on TDF
> wiki: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Migrations.
