As some of our users will have noted, `LibreOffice 4.1 was
|
2015-08-08 21:03:55 +00:00
|
|
|
released <https://www.libreoffice.org/download/4-1-new-features-and-fixes>`_
|
2015-08-06 20:19:50 +00:00
|
|
|
on the 25th of July. Included in this release are a whole lot of bug
|
|
|
|
fixes and improvements, but one that stands out is an option that was
|
|
|
|
added to Impress to aid in integration with OpenLP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of LibreOffice 4.0, the presenter console extension became part of
|
|
|
|
the core of LibreOffice, and OpenLP was not able to turn this off. Tim,
|
|
|
|
one of our core developers, `submitted a
|
2015-08-08 21:03:55 +00:00
|
|
|
bug <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56995>`_ to the
|
2015-08-06 20:19:50 +00:00
|
|
|
LibreOffice bug tracker, and an Indian student named Manik Malhotra
|
|
|
|
picked it up for part of his Google Summer of Code submission to
|
|
|
|
LibreOffice. Many thanks to Tim for his ongoing push to make folks aware
|
|
|
|
of the bug, and to Manik for writing the fix!

As a result of being mentioned in the release notes, our website had a
|
|
|
|
little bump in the amount of traffic it received on Thursday, Friday and
|
|
|
|
Monday. Sundays are usually our busiest days (I wonder why?) but this
|
|
|
|
past week it was Thursday, followed by Friday, followed by Monday. All
|
|
|
|
three of those days beat the usual Sunday traffic.

Never heard of `LibreOffice <https://www.libreoffice.org/>`_?

LibreOffice is an open source office suite, a free alternative to
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Office. LibreOffice runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and
|
|
|
|
can read and write most MS Office files. OpenLP supports displaying
|
|
|
|
presentations using LibreOffice on Windows and Linux (OS X is
|
|
|
|
unfortunately currently not supported).
