> 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/.
