KOffice 1.4 Released

Posted by timothy on from the good-move dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The KDE Project today announced the immediate release of KOffice 1.4 for Linux and Unix operating systems. This release is a large step towards embracing the OASIS OpenDocument file format which has become an approved standard for office file formats. This format is also used by the upcoming OpenOffice.org 2.0, thus providing high interoperability. New applications in the 1.4 release: Krita - a pixel based image manipulation application (screenshots, movie) and Kexi - an integrated data management application (screenshots)."

  1. OpenDocument for Spreadsheets by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    OpenDocument sounds great, but is the spreadsheet specification insufficient? Apparently Gnumeric will not be adding support for it[1]. Is KOffice supporting it for spreadsheets?

    I want to see an open format for documents, including spreadsheets, so I'm concerned that OpenDocument might not be sufficient.
