href="http://www.openoffice.org/download/";>official download page</a>.&nbsp; 
Building upon the great success of the OpenOffice 3.4 release, which has seen 
over 57 million downloads, this <b>major update</b> brings exciting new 
features, enhancements and bug fixes.&nbsp; &nbsp; OpenOffice 4.0 features an 
innovative new Sidebar user interface,&nbsp; additional language support for 22 
languages (including 3 new languages), 500 bug fixes, improvements in Microsoft 
Office interoperability, enhancements to drawing/graphics, performance 
improvements, etc.&nbsp; You can read the details of these later in these

+<h3><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-NewSidebar"></a>New Sidebar</h3>
+
+<p>The Sidebar is a major new feature of the user interface in all of the 
OpenOffice applications.</p>
+
+<p>The Sidebar makes better use of today's widescreen displays than 
traditional toolbars. The 'Properties' deck is context-sensitive and shows 
panels with the document properties that are most frequently used for the 
current editing task.</p>

the Selection Handles User Interface</h4>
+
+<ul>
+       <li>Selection Handles were reworked to be more distinguishable.</li>
+       <li>Transparency was added to give a slight 'clue' when the Handles 
cover something, but only for the Handle's fill (not their outlines) to not 
make them harder to view as necessary.</li>
+       <li>The design was slightly rounded.</li>
+       <li>Colors were tweaked a little bit for better identification (mainly 
when Handles are selected).</li>
+       <li>When Keyboard-travelling over handles (CTRL-TAB) yellow handles 
used for CustomShapes now blink as the other handles to visualize the active 
handle correctly.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p><span class="image-wrap" style=""><img

enhanced using the selection color from the system.</li>
+       <li>Usage and fetching of that system-wide SelectionColor was unified 
to guarantee it for all selections on all Systems.</li>
+       <li>A slight blinking was added to identify objects where text can be 
added by starting to type or pressing return.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>This is used in various places such as; Objects with TextEdit mode, 
highlighting of objects as Drag&amp;Drop target or object manipulation (dashed 
black/white lines were used before).</p>

+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-BetterPrintPreview"></a>Better Print 
Preview</h4>
+
+<p>The PrintPreview in the Print dialog is now fully AntiAlialised. The 
previous version was not, thus thin lines could vanish or produce missing 
parts.</p>
+
+<p><span class="image-wrap" style=""><img

 style="border: 0px solid black" /></span></p>
+
+<h4><a 
name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-EnhancedconversiontoBitmapGraphics"></a>Enhanced 
conversion to Bitmap Graphics</h4>
+
+<p>The conversion to Bitmap graphics is greatly enhanced for all kinds of draw 
objects, including chart OLEs and others. This is not only useful for 
internally converting objects to bitmaps, but also used for exports where 
bitmaps are needed, and the system clipboard. It works with single objects as 
well as multiple selections. Transparencies of the object and AntiAliasing on 
its edges are perfect now.</p>
+
+<p><span class="image-wrap" style=""><img 
src="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/30746475/NewConversionToBitmap.png?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1373893754985";
 style="border: 0px solid black" /></span></p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-EnhancedFillType%27Bitmap%27"></a>Enhanced 
FillType 'Bitmap'</h4>
+
+<p>All DrawingObjects which can have a Bitmap filling can now profit from the 
new, greatly enhanced Bitmap FillType:</p>
+<ul>
+       <li>The new Bitmap FillType preserves Transparency, the old version was 
not capable of this and always added a white background.</li>
+       <li>It allows the use of vector graphics which stay vector graphic when 
processed (especially useful in e.g. printing, PDF and other exports).</li>
+       <li>It supports SVG and Metafile as FillData, no longer restricted to 
BitmapData.</li>
+       <li>Tiling, AutoFit, Size, Position and Offset settings are fully 
supported (in Area dialog).</li>
+       <li>Animated GIF's are now allowed as FillTypes.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>Examples of this include:</p>
+<ol>
+       <li>Self-create a scaling-independent fill by drawing anything anytime 
using DeawObjects
+       <ol>
+               <li>convert it to Metafile</li>
+               <li>create a FillStyle based on it</li>
+       </ol>
+       </li>
+       <li>Use a SVG or import a vector format (WMF) to define a new 
FillStyle.</li>
+</ol>
+
+
+<p>Think about the possibilities for filling the Backgrounds of Pages, Chart 
bars or other items. This will be used as vector data when printing or at PDF 
export.</p>
+
+<p><span class="image-wrap" style=""><img 
src="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/30746475/NewFillStyleBitmap.png?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1373893820085";
 style="border: 0px solid black" /></span></p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-EnhancedCopy%2FPaste"></a>Enhanced 
Copy/Paste</h4>
+
+<p>All applications now support transparent and anti-aliased versions of, for 
example, DrawObjects in the selection to be exchanged with external 
applications. This is a result of the enhanced conversion to Bitmap and adding 
the PNG graphic format to the supported clipboard formats.</p>
+
+<p>Non-Graphic objects are converted on-demand, and graphic objects are copied 
with full transparency and AntiAliasing support.</p>
+
+<p>It is now possible to Copy/Paste any object to an external PixelGraphic 
application, modify it as needed, and copy it back to any OpenOffice 
Application without quality loss. This allows everyone easy and complete image 
manipulation outside the Office with the tool of his choice and the 
capabilities he needs.</p>
+
+<p><span class="image-wrap" style=""><img 
src="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/30746475/NewCopyPaste.png?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1373893819046";
 style="border: 0px solid black" /></span></p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-EnhancedDrag%26Drop"></a>Enhanced 
Drag&amp;Drop</h4>
+
+<p>Drag&amp;Drop has been enhanced by an 'internal' mode. It is now possible 
to Drag&amp;Drop anything 'onto' an existing DrawObject to change it's graphic 
or fill style when holding CTRL+SHIFT (Ctrl+Cmd on Mac) during 
Drag&amp;Drop.</p>
+
+<p>As visual control, the target object for the Drag&amp;Drop is visualized 
using the new Selection Visualization and a unique MouseCursor.</p>
+<ul>
+       <li>Drag&amp;Drop from external: change FillStyle to Bitmap (including 
transparence), use e.g. SVG or metafile</li>
+       <li>Drag&amp;Drop internal (klick on the source object(s), wait a 
second until MousePointer changes, start dragging, hold CTRL+SHIFT)</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<ul>
+       <li>when source is a DrawObject: Styles are copied (LineStyle, 
FillStyle, etc.)</li>
+       <li>when source is a GraphicObject: FillStyle is adapted to source's 
geometry content</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>Here is an example:</p>
+
+<p>(a) Draw an object, e.g. a rounded rectangle with an outline, Draw an arrow 
object, choose fill and line style for it.<br/>
+(b) If you Drag&amp;Drop onto the target object, it copies FillStyle and 
LineStyle.<br/>
+(c) If you convert the arrow to metafile (e.g. using context menu), 
Drag&amp;Drop onto the target object, it gets filled with the arrow's vector 
data.</p>
+
+<p>This comes in very handy if you need to quickly define an object FillStyles 
or want to copy the GraphicStyles of one object to others.</p>
+
+<p>Also very useful:</p>
+<ul>
+       <li>You can use the Gallery as in-betwen space for DrawObjects or 
GraphicObjects used for that purpose.</li>
+       <li>You can directly Drag&amp;Drop from there onto DrawObjects.</li>
+       <li>You can Drag&amp;Drop from external sources onto DrawObjects.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p><span class="image-wrap" style=""><img

+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-AdaptLineStart%2FEndtoLineWidth"></a>Adapt 
LineStart/End to LineWidth</h4>
+
+<p>It is practical when you change the LineWidth of an Object which has 
ArrowHeads defined at its start/end when the ArrowHeads used get adapted to 
your LineWidth change; else you have to adapt these by your own. This was 
already done for Draw and Impress. This is now unified and centralized and 
works in all OpenOffice applications.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-SVGExportenhancements"></a>SVG Export 
enhancements</h4>
+
+<p>Some enhancements for SVG export were added to avoid some quality 
losses.&nbsp; More improvements are planned in this area for future 
releases.</p>
+
+<h4><a 
name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-SVG%2FMetafileBreakimprovements"></a>SVG/Metafile 
Break improvements</h4>
+
+<p>If an imported SVG/metafile&nbsp; is manipulated, it needs to be broken up 
into DrawObjects.&nbsp;&nbsp; This code was improved in this release.&nbsp; 
More improvements are planned in this area for future releases.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-SVGImportimprovements"></a>SVG Import 
improvements</h4>
+
+<p>Enhancements and bug fixes were made in the SVG Import code . Thanks to all 
Users&nbsp; who were reporting issues and providing test documents for 
SVG.&nbsp; If you have a SVG file which looks different than it should, do not 
hesitate to attach it to an issue in the <a 
href="http://issues.apache.org/ooo/";>Apache OpenOffice Bugzilla</a>.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-PictureCropmodeofferspreview"></a>Picture Crop 
mode offers preview</h4>
+
+<p>When working on a GraphicObject it is allowed to set a Crop region for 
it.&nbsp; When using the interactive mode for that, the new version shows the 
non-visible part of the Graphic content (the croppped part) as transparent and 
surrounds it with a light border.&nbsp; This way you no longer have to guess 
where or how big the cropped data is.</p>
+
+<p>This example shows cropping in an SVG graphic:</p>
+
+<p><span class="image-wrap" style=""><img 
src="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/30746475/NewInteractiveCrop.png?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1373893874638";

+
+<h4><a 
name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-UnifiedvisualizationofColorPalettepopups"></a>Unified 
visualization of ColorPalette popups</h4>
+
+<p>All places where a ColorPalette popup is shown (the form where the colors 
are organized in a raster) are overhauled and made to use the same sizes and 
width.&nbsp; The width (12 columns) was adapted to the new designed 
ColorPalette. For a picture see 'New Color Palette'</p>
+
+<h4><a 
name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-Transparencysupportforpixelformats%28PNG%29"></a>Transparency
 support for pixel formats (PNG)</h4>
+
+<p>When exporting selected drawing objects to formats that support 
transparency, e.g., PNG, OpenOffice now uses a transparent background by 
default. This allows to further use graphics created in other applications or 
for further processing.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-Connectorssupportrotation"></a>Connectors 
support rotation</h4>
+
+<p>Connectors no longer disable rotation or shear tools when selected. While 
this is a small benefit with single connectors, it is very useful when 
selecting a number of graphic objects and wanting to rotate them. This was 
requested in the <a href="http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum";>OpenOffice 
Community Forum</a>, where a user wanted to rotate a drawing made of many draw 
objects and many connectors by 90 degrees. This is now possible without the 
inconvenience of deselecting all of the connectors.</p>
+
+<h4><a 
name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-CorrectedHatchfillstylevisualization"></a>Corrected 
Hatch fill style visualization</h4>
+
+<p>When zooming out or in small visualizations (e.g. Page Previews) objects or 
pages using a hatch fill style were poorly visualized since too many hatch 
lines were shown in a small area. The Hatch Fill Style now uses a minimal line 
distance to make it look good for visualizations in Edit Views. This was 
already the case in older office versions, but was lost in the redesign of the 
visualization.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-Bettergradientsupportinmetafiles"></a>Better 
gradient support in metafiles</h4>
+
+<p>Gradients in metafiles are rotated and sheared (slanted) together with the 
metafile and so behave similar to bitmap graphics. Start color and end color 
are included in those gradients now. This improvement becomes visible if you 
use a small number of gradient steps. All gradients are now shown in 
presentation mode the same as they are shown in edit mode.</p>

relative Pie Chart Height:</h4>
+
+<p>For Pie charts imported from other formats, the Height attribute was not 
supported. This is added now and makes Pie Charts look more like the 
original.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-NewFunctions"></a>New Functions</h4>
+
+<p>Calc now supports the spreadsheet functions:&nbsp; AVERAGEIFS, COUNTIFS, 
and SUMIFS.&nbsp; These functions allow you to combine several conditions.</p>
+
+<p>Calc now supports the function XOR. The function completes the already 
available set of Boolean functions.</p>
+
+<p>Calc now supports the functions LEFTB, RIGHTB, LENB, and MIDB. These 
functions are special versions for DBCS (double byte character set) 
languages.</p>
+
+<p>Calc's RAND function was reimplemented to use the Mersenne-Twister 
algorithm.</p>

 ; at the moment, Extensions for 3.x that are using the deprecated mechanism 
will have to be updated to work with OpenOffice 4.0. Many popular extensions, 
including dictionaries, are not affected by the change.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-UnifiedmenuAPI"></a>Unified menu API</h4>
+
+<p>The Menu API has been unified, making it more clear and API-user-friendly. 
The following interfaces have been deprecated and replaced: 
css.awt.XMenuExtended, css.awt.XMenuExtended2, css.awt.XMenuBarExtended, 
css.awt.XPopupMenuExtended. See <a

 Improvements/Enhancements</h3>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-Manyresourceleakswerefixed."></a>Many resource 
leaks were fixed.</h4>
+
+<p>Many resource leaks were fixed, reducing memory requirements and improving 
application stability.</p>
+
+<h4><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-SpeedupofGraphicRendering"></a>Speedup of 
Graphic Rendering</h4>
+
+<p>More Rendering speedups are used (on systems supporting it, 
system-dependent)</p>
+<ul>
+       <li>Bitmaps with transparency are painted directly</li>
+       <li>Bitmaps which are transformed (rotated/sheared/mirrored) are 
painted directly</li>
+       <li>Lines with LineWidth and/or transparence are painted directly</li>
+       <li>Geometry and Pixel data is buffered in system-dependent formats</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<p>For example, this allows even animated GIFs to be used as object fill style 
for any object and to transform these in real time (when supported on the 
system).&nbsp;&nbsp; It also greatly enhances visualization geometry during 
editing (in the EditViews) when supported.</p>

that Impact Backwards Compatibility</h2>
+
+<h3><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-Modulebinfilterremoved"></a>Module binfilter 
removed</h3>
+
+<p>We no longer read or write the legacy StarOffice file formats (files with 
extensions .sdw, .sdc, .sdd, etc.). &nbsp;Removal of this code makes the 
OpenOffice codebase easier to maintain. &nbsp;The legacy formats have never 
been the default format in any version of OpenOffice. &nbsp;Users with legacy 
StarOffice documents are advised to re-save them into ODF format (<b>.odt, 
&#42;.ods, &#42;.odp, etc.) &#42;before upgrading</b> to Apache OpenOffice 4.0. 
This can be done using File - Wizards - Document Converter in OpenOffice 
3.x&nbsp; OpenOffice 1.x files (*.sxw, &#42;.sxc, &#42;.sxi) are still 
supported.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-Pythonsupportupdated"></a>Python support 
updated</h3>
+
+<p>PyUNO is now compatible with the latest C-Python 3.x but in order to reduce 
the impact for existing applications, support for C-Python 2.x has been 
preserved and remains the default. The internal Python, used by default in the 
Windows and MacOS-X ports, has now been upgraded with version 2.7.5 which fixes 
hundreds of bugs and has important performance improvements but is still 
compatible with previous versions. Existing scripts may require minor 
adjustments but will normally just continue working as before.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-SupportforsystemC%5CSTL"></a>Support for 
system C+&#43; STL</h3>
+
+<p>The stlport4 template library was obsoleted with the TR1 report of the 
C+&#43; standard and was deprecated and no longer maintained. Apache OpenOffice 
4 switches to the system's native standard template library, so extensions 
written in C+&#43; need to be recompiled with the Apache OpenOffice 4 SDK.</p>

+<h2><a name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues"></a>Known Issues</h2>
+
+<ul>
+       <li>Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 will be flagged by the new Gatekeeper 
facility in Mac OS X Mountain Lion. This is a new feature to help guard against 
malware on Mac systems. There is a procedure laid out at the following link to 
allow applications not installed from the Mac App store to run. See the article 
at Mac support at <a 
href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290";>&#104;ttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290</a>.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<ul>
+       <li>Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 supports Java 7, which is the recommended 
configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings 
about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the 
<a 
href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/B/C/5BC5DBB3-652D-4DCE-B14A-475AB85EEF6E/vcredist_x86.exe";>Microsoft
 Visual C+\+ 2010 Redistributable Package</a>. If you still have problems, 
install <a href="http://www.java.com/java6download/";>the most current JRE 6 
version</a>. Make sure you get the file "Windows x86 Offline (32-bit)". Then 
configure OpenOffice to use it at "Tools - Options - OpenOffice - Java". See <a 
href="http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&amp;t=54974";>this 
forum topic</a> for more information.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<ul>
+       <li>Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0. has got a new color palette. If you have 
migrated your "personal data" from a previous version, the old color palette is 
migrated too: you won't see the new palette and (if you are using a non-English 
version) some of the color names will appear in English only. To get the new 
palette close Apache OpenOffice and its quickstarter, search for the file 
“standard.soc” in your <a 
href="http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&amp;t=12426";>Apache
 OpenOffice user folder</a> and rename the file, to “standard_AOO341.soc” 
for example. With the next start of Apache OpenOffice the new color palette is 
transferred to your user folder and is available.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a 
name="AOO4.0ReleaseNotes-Upgrading%2FInstallation"></a>Upgrading/Installation</h3>
+
+<p>When installing Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 on a machine that already has 
OpenOffice 3.4.1 or 3.4.0 installed on it, the user will be prompted on whether 
they would like "personal data" from the previous version migrated over to the 
new version.&nbsp; This includes information like custom spell checking words, 
dictionaries, extensions, etc.&nbsp;By default this migration is enabled, but 
the user can disable it via the checkbox.</p>
+
+<p>In some cases, when the user first launches Apache OpenOffice 4.0 after an 
upgrade that included personal data migration, the user will see a dialog like 
this: <span class="image-wrap" style=""><img 
src="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/30746475/dictionary-upgrade.png?version=1&amp;modificationDate=1373642485545";
 style="border: 1px solid black" /></span><br/>
+It is safe to click OK on this dialog.</p>
+
+<p>After an upgrade is completed, there may be some files related to the older 
version of OpenOffice still on your machine.&nbsp; These can be safely 
deleted:</p>
+<ul>
+       <li>The empty directory:&nbsp; C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 
3\share\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages</li>
+       <li>Install files directories from previous versions, often on your 
Desktop, with names like:
+       <ul>
+               <li>OpenOffice.org 3.4.1 (en-US) Installation Files</li>
+               <li>OpenOffice.org 3.4 (en-US) Installation Files</li>
+               <li>OpenOffice.org 3.3 (en-US) Installation Files</li>
+       </ul>
+       </li>
+</ul>
