- Calligra, the multiplatform, free and open source office suite born from KOffice, has launched a new version. It includes numerous small improvements in each and every one of the applications that are part of it. |
All applications, in general, have improved their graphical interface in one way or another, and each one of them has added new features. Words substantially improves table editing, text ordering around images, and bibliography support. In Sheets, the cell editor now has its own dock, a feature highly anticipated by users. Also, in general terms, new filters are included to import and export files, improving compatibility, especially with OOXML. To see a complete list of news, it is recommended to access the release notes.
In addition to launching Calligra Suite 2.5, they release a new QML-based version for potential KDE tablets called Calligra Active.
Installation
En Ubuntu and derivatives:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: kubuntu-ppa / backports
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install calligra
For those who do not know, it is important to mention that, being based on Qt, Calligra is also available for OS X and Windows, although I must admit that it is not the most powerful suite for these platforms.
