Moving towards the 2.0 release with monthly increments of improvement-goodness, the KOffice team has once more honoured its promise to bring out beta releases of KOffice until the time is right for a release-candidate release. So, before the news of the previous beta has had a chance to scroll off the Dot news page, we bring you this beta with many, many improvements across the board. Incremental as it is, we think it is a genuine and important step towards a final release. So here it is: full announcement and changelog
Some highlights in the release announcements: loading of text styles in presentations saved by OpenOffice.org is fixed, inserting an image in a document becomes possible again and the first set of results from the Berlin meeting become integrated into KOffice. And, of course, plenty of bugfixes all over! And the translation teams have been really busy, and many bugs in the localisation support have been caught.
It's now possible to paint on mask in Krita:
It is really, really time to start helping the developers, by testing and finding bugs, by writing documentation, by helping out with the website or even by helping to get KOffice release ready by writing code and fixing bugs. We intend to release the very first version of KOffice2 in a few months: so let's pull together and make this a great platform for productivity software!
And... Next month you'll get another one!
