There are some significant and much-requested new features this time - e.g. persistent lobbying from the French educational team has finally been rewarded with <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.1/#r4.1">Chart enhancements</a>.</p> -<p>However, I&#8217;ve also been impressed with the number of subtle <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure it didn&#8217;t used to do that&#8221;</em> changes in everyday work. For example: the changes to the <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.1/#r2.1">display of selected text</a>; the addition of <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.1/#r3.3">syntax help in Calc formulae</a>; the <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.1/#r1.2">way images appear</a> when they are being dragged&#8230;</p> -<p>And of course, the improvement in the way <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.1/#r1.1">graphics are drawn on screen</a> with anti-aliasing is just amazing.</p> -<p>So, I think we&#8217;ll have a lot of happy users when the final release comes out around Easter time!</p></description> - <pubDate>Sun, 15 Mar 2009 10:50:41 +0000</pubDate> -</item> </channel> </rss> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
