Change Comment: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Inserted 2nd part of translation Edited by Paolo Pozzan: --------------------------------------------------------------------- TRADUZIONE IN CORSO - DI SEGUITO L'ORIGINALE INGLESE h2. General Remarks The Apache OpenOffice 3.4 features can be split into two areas: changes already made in the OpenOffice.org beta, and those additional changes made at Apache since the beta. h2. New Features from the OpenOffice.org 3.4 beta These features were already part of the OpenOffice.org 3.4 beta. The 3.4 beta was built from the OOO340 code line which was cloned from DEV300m106. This code line is the base for the Apache OpenOffice code. h3. Faster Startup Startup is faster since the program now has enough initial knowledge about its components so that it doesn't have to start each of them. h3. Improved ODF 1.2 encryption support The ODF 1.2 specification allows optional use of W3C-specified algorithms in the encryption (password-protection) of ODF 1.2 documents. For Apache OpenOffice 3.4, the default "Save with Password" continues to use SHA1 digests and Blowfish encryption, the one combination that is supported for interchange of encrypted documents across ODF 1.0/1.1 and ODF 1.2 supporting application. In addition, documents encrypted using AES256 are now recognized and decrypted when the correct password is provided. It is also possible to select AES256 for encrypting "Save with Password" documents by setting both of these configuration options: * Set configuration option org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save/ODF/UseSHA1InODF12 to "false". * Set confguration option org.openoffice.Office.Common/Save/ODF/UseBlowfishInODF12 to "false". A macro to set the options on or off is available at [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User:TJFrazier/Encryption]. The configuration options have no effect when saving in ODF 1.1/ODF 1.0 format. See [http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/csprd03/OpenDocument-v1.2-csprd03-part3.html] for precise details of the ODF 1.2 provisions. h3. Spreadsheet: TIME function returns values 00:00:00 <= x <= 23:59:59.999 The TIME spreadsheet function returns values between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59.999... inclusive and wraps values equal to or greater than 24:00:00. h3. Spreadsheet: Renamed "DataPilot" to "Pivot Table" In the Spreadsheet GUI, the term "DataPilot" has been replaced with the term "Pivot Table". h3. PivotTable has been extended PivotTable (formerly known as DataPilot) is no longer limited in the number of fields supported. h3. Spreadsheet: New CSV export option, "Quote all text cells" Previously, in Spreadsheet CSV export, all content from text cells was quoted with the selected text delimiter. Now this is optional and happens only if the new check box "Quote all text cells" is selected. By default, the text delimiter is added only if the cell content contains the field delimiter, text delimiter or multiple lines. When a CSV file is loaded and saved again without editing the filter settings, the import option "Quoted field as text" is used for the "Quote all text cells" option. The default for "Quoted field as text" is now "off" (but if it's changed in the import dialog, that is still saved as new default in the configuration). h3. Improved CSV export Better interoperability with other applications supporting the import of CSV (Comma Separated Values) files as the style for exporting strings is configurable now. h3. Spreadsheet: Unlimited number of fields in Pivot Table layout dialog In the Pivot Table layout dialog, it is now possible to add more than 8 fields to the "Row Fields", "Column Fields", and "Data Fields" areas, and more than 10 fields to the "Page Fields" area. h3. MailMerge: Scan rows for correct type information for Text databases The MaxRowScan setting allows the user to define how many rows should be scanned to find the correct type of a column. In the past only the first row was scanned. h3. Math: new option to save only used symbols for each formula In order to save on document file size (namely in Writer documents with many formulas) there is now a new option to save only those symbols that are used in a formula. By default this option will be active. Geek info: However there is a small drawback: Previously, if you worked with different office installations, documents with formulas could be used to implicitly import *ALL* user-defined symbols in Math from one office installation to the next, even if none of them got used in a formula. Since now only the actually used symbols get saved, only those can be implicitly imported into a different office installation. To get the old behavior, simply turn off this new option. h3. Formula: Allineamento linea base automatico per gli oggetti di Math È disponibile una nuova opzione chiamata 'Allineamento linea base di Math' disponibile nella scheda 'Formattazione' della pagina di opzioni di Writer e WriterWeb. Quando questa opzione viene selezionata *TUTTI* gli oggetti OLE di Math già esistenti nel documento di Writer che sono ancorati 'al carattere' (e solo quelli con questo tipo di ancoraggio) verranno automaticamente allineati per rispettare la linea base della formula con quella del testo che la circonda. In più i nuovi oggetti di Math inseriti successivamente verranno automaticamente allineati allo stesso modo. Fin quando l'opzione è attiva, il movimento manuale degli oggetti di Math ancorati 'al carattere' non è possibile, pertanto l'allineamento verticale nella finestra contestuale 'Oggetto' è disabilitata allo stesso modo. Per i nuovi documenti questa opzione è impostata in maniera predefinita. Quando si carica un vecchio documento questa opzione non è impostata. In ogni caso, una volta che il documento viene salvato nuovamente, l'attuale valore di questa opzione verrà salvato insieme al documento. Questo allineamento automatico alla base è stato implementato da Michael Spisiak come parte del Google Summer of Code di quest'anno; il mentore di questo (progetto) è stato Eric Bachard. Grazie a entrambi\! h3. Il catalogo dei simboli di Math ora supporta i caratteri UTF-32 h3. Miglioramenti delle opzioni predefinite di Draw/Impress: - Migliorati gli standard per l'agganciamento di Impress e Draw - Cambiato lo standard di "copia quando muovi" - Migliorate le impostazioni standard della griglia in Impress e Draw - Migliorati gli standard per l'indentazione e la spaziatura elenco puntato *- Animate outline shapes 'Per paragrafi di 1° livello' as default * - Nuovi colori predefiniti per gli oggetti di disegno - Impostata la distanza predefinita dell'ombra per gli oggetti a 0,2cm - Miglioramenti alla opzione "mouse come penna" nelle diapositive in Impress - Larghezza piena predefinita per il testo nelle forme - Cambiata la struttura predefinita per gli elenchi puntati da 'Oo-' a 'O-O-O' - La scorciatoia per inserire i commenti è cambiata h3. Miglioramenti standard alla Interfaccia Grafica per Draw e Impress Per i dettagli: [Migliorata interfaccia elenchi puntati|http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/BetterDefaults_BulletsColorsShortcuts_workout] [Migliorata interfaccia per la griglia|http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Specification_BetterDefaults_Gridhandling#Detailed_Specification] h3. Draw/Impress: Impostare la risoluzione in pixel quando si esporta la grafica h3. Riduzione della dimensione dei file PDF I documenti PDF che contengono bitmap monocromatiche sono ora più piccoli h3. Cambiata la finestra di dialogo per l'inserimento della password nell' esportazione in PDF Durante l'esportazione in PDF si possono inserire due password (Password di "Apertura" e di "Permessi"). Queste due password possono essere inserite in un unico passaggio anziché due finestre di dialogo separate. h3. Rimosso il supporto alla Rubrica di Mozilla, a favore di Seamonkey Considerato che il prodotto Mozilla è stato soppiantato da tempo dalla suite SeaMonkey e i formati profilo di entrambi sono cambiati in maniera incompatibile, il supporto alla Rubrica di Mozilla in OpenOffice.org è stato rimosso, a favore del supporto alle rubriche di SeaMonkey. h3. Controlli della casella di riepilogo: "Campo collegato" permesso a 0 La proprietà "Campo collegato" di una casella di riepilogo, che specifica quale colonna del set di risultati della casella di riepilogo deve essere usata per lo scambio dei dati, può avere il valore "0" ora. h3. Base: Oggetti ad albero: selezionare le voci digitandone il loro nome Le liste ad albero nella finestra principale di Base ora supportano la selezione digitandone il loro nome. h3. Finestre di Dialogo Stilista / Navigatore / Opzioni: selezionare le voci digitandone il loro nome Le liste ad albero Navigatore, Stilista nell'applicazione ("Stili e Formattazione") e nella finestra di dialogo delle opzioni ora supportano la selezione digitandone il loro nome. h3. I Fogli di Calcolo ODF supportano le Funzioni Condizionali Supporto per le nuove Funzioni Condizionali dell'ODF 1.2: "COUNTIFS", "SUMIFS", "AVERAGEIF" e "AVERAGEIFS" h3. Grafico: Legenda Ridimensionabile La legenda all'interno dei grafici ora può essere ridimensionata. h3. Chart: Date Axis Date axis are available now for category charts. h3. Time Axis supported in Chart !timeaxis_sample.png! h3. Improved Printing on Unix Printing via PDF (if the system supports it) allows object transparency to be handled directly by the printer subsystem h3. Print file format changes on Linux systems Printing on Unix systems can now produce PDF files instead of PostScript. h3. New Gstreamer multimedia framework on Linux systems Gstreamer is available now to use to playback multimedia content in OpenOffice documents (e.g. audio and video in Impress presentations). Note that Gstreamer (and the appropriate gst-plugins) need to be installed in system. h3. Enhanced RTF export Now it supports nested tables, more character properties, sections, graphics for Wordpad, bookmarks, fields, drawings and OLE objects. h3. Remove binfilter export filters h3. Further development/bug fixes for DOCX import filter h3. OOo/Mac running headless as daemon h3. Various BugFixes h2. New Features for Apache OpenOffice 3.4 These features are the result of the work at Apache on OpenOffice since the OpenOffice.org 3.4 beta: h3. License Change The License has changed from LGPLv3 to the permissive [Apache License 2|http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0]. The Apache License will make adoption, distribution and modification of the software easier for many users. Of course the software remains free, and the source code with its updates will continue to be available through the Apache Software Foundation servers. h3. Misc Updates. In accordance to the new license all the software components have been updated to use licenses that are in line with ASF guidelines. No critical functionality was lost, through we did update many libraries that will work better with new standards. As a side result, many internal libraries and headers were updated with modern versions that provide the same or superior functionality. We strongly recommend that all developers and distributors should update to this release, to avoid risks resulting from inconsistencies found in previous versions of the OpenOffice.org suite. h3. Calc: Faster LP solver. The previous Linear Programming solver has been replaced with the faster and better designed CoinMP from the Computational Infrastructure for Operations Research (COIN-OR) project. h3. Apache Tomcat updated. The Apache Tomcat servlet was updated from the older version 5.0.30 to version 5.5.35 which brings in years of performance and security improvements without changing the API. h3. Support for Line Cap Property Now you can add a cap to the end of a line. Such caps are not only known in the ODF1 .2 standard but in HTML5 and SVG too. Also other Office Suites provide caps in different styles to be added to thick lines. Three styles exist: * without a cap, called 'Butt' in programming and 'Flat' in UI (as in MS Office) * with a round cap, called 'Round' * with a rectangle cap, called 'Square' The property value 'Flat' corresponds to the old behavior and is now the default. !LineCap_PureLines.png! The caps are added to the lines, so that the total length of the lines increases with two-times a half line width. Select the value from a drop-down-list in the line property dialog, just beside the settings for corner style. The new property is only available in contexts, where the corner style is active too. !LineCap_Dialog.png! If a line is dashed, the single dashes get caps too. Hereby a dot is treated as dash. You can style not only pure lines and curves, but the border of graphic objects as well. !LineCap_BorderlineDotted.png! !LineCap_CurveDashed.png! The next example shows the new property applied to a connector. Left side without cap, in the middle with 'round' cap, and on the right side with 'square' cap. !LineCap_CapOnConnectors.png! The caps are available for 3D-objects too, when you turn on lines and make them thick. The example shows lines, which are styled to look “dotted”. !LineCap_SphereDotted.png! and a zoom… !LineCap_SphereZoom.png! Linecaps defined in svg-graphics are supported, so that those graphics look the same as they do in modern browsers. h3. Support for shear transformations for GraphicObjects [(Blog entry)|https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/features_for_graphicobjects_and_oleobjects] GraphicObjects which get created when inserting graphics in Draw/Impress and Spreadsheet support now not only rotation but also shear, slant and distort. The visualization during interactions was improved, also the break for vector-based GraphicObjects to draw objects was improved. Writer has its own GraphicObjects; the ones from the other applications can be copied to it as workaround. h3. Support for attributes and transformations for OLEObjects [(Blog entry)|https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/features_for_graphicobjects_and_oleobjects] OLEObjects (OLE is for Object Linking and Embedding) in Draw/Impress and Spreadsheet support now all draw attributes and geometrical transformations. They can have line style, fill style, shadow and text. They support all transformations, e.g. rotations and shear. This is handy for e.g. having a mathematical formula shown rotated by 90 degrees or adding a border to a chart. Break to draw objects is also enhanced. h3. Enhanced crop support for GraphicalObjects Crop for GraphicObjects now works correctly together with horizontal and/or vertical mirroring in all applications. h3. Support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) [(Blog entry)|https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/native_svg_support_for_apache] SVG is now supported as content for GraphicObjects in all applications. The new implemented generic SVG interpreter supports SVG format 1.1. The geometric content is internally processed as vector data in all usages, e.g. PDF export and printing, which guarantees good visualization quality. SVG graphics can be broken to draw objects and be processed further. A blog entry can be found [here|http://eric.bachard.org/news/index.php?post/2011/12/03/In-progress-%3A-native-support-of-the-SVG-graphic-format-in-Apache-OpenOffice.org]. h3. Support for MultiImage in ODF For SVG support it was necessary to allow multiple image representations for one GraphicObject to be present in the ODF file format, e.g. a pixel graphic and the original SVG is written in case of a GraphicObject with SVG content. This allows it to stay compatible with other and older ODF supporting applications. The number of images for one GraphicObject is not limited: applications using this may choose the image with the format which supports its purpose best, e.g, prefer to use a pixel graphic for ODF viewers. OpenOffice 3.4 uses a weighting function which prefers pixel images with transparency over such without and vector formats over pixel formats. h3. Enhanced chart visualization The visualization quality of charts has been enhanced by using a new mechanism for more direct visualization. This increases speed, reduces memory usage and enhances chart visualization in all visualizations, including PDF export and printing. h3. Writer: Asian Language Word Count The word count of Asian languages is now correct. Previous releases were counting terms instead of words when counting words of Asian language text. Notice that file word count will not be automatically updated for existing text documents. You need to make a change to the document in order to force an update of the file word count. h3. New regular expressions (regexp) engine The existing regular expression engine has been replaced by the ICU engine. This solves several bugs in "Find and Replace" with the old implementation and speeds up the search. The new engine also offers better standards compliance especially regarding Unicode, which also means that some non-standard syntax extensions like {{\<}} and {{\>}} for word boundary matching are now deprecated. For the convenience of a smooth upgrade experience they get emulated by the {{\b}} operator though. See [ICU regex syntax|http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings/regexp#TOC-Regular-Expression-Metacharacters] for expressions supported in the new regular expression engine. It is recommended to stay on the common ground though and [regex flavors|http://www.regular-expressions.info/refflavors.html] gives an overview where this common ground is. The modified syntax applies to macros too: regular expressions in macros that were relying on the deprecated syntax should be converted to use widely supported regex expressions. Users of Japanese scripts should be aware that several non-trivial transliterations could behave slightly differently, especially when transliteration rules like "ProlongedSoundMark", "IterationMark", "Ignore-Width", "BaFa", "SeZe", "HyuByu", "IandEfollowedByYa" or "KiKuFollowedBySa" might be involved. h3. New Color Picker dialog The old color picker which is used in the office code for over a decade has been replaced by a new, more intuitive one which offers a wide variety of color selection possibilities. This feature was developed by Christian Lippka; kudos to him for offering it under Apache License.
