KOffice 1.6 Released · Slashdot Mirror

ingwa writes "The KOffice team today released version 1.6 of its office suite. Among other things, this release contains an improved Krita which can now handle color spaces like CMYK. This makes it the only free image editor that can be used in professional pre-press work. Together with the other improvements, this release probably makes it the best free image editor in the world. The release also contains improvements in Kexi, the MS Access like database application, and a new scripting framework which makes it extremely simple to script applications that handle OpenDocument data. With this release KOffice also surpasses OpenOffice.org in some ways, e.g. it handles over 70% of the W3C MathML test suite while Openoffice.org only handles 22%. See the KOffice homepage for more information."

Yeah, sure I'm a marketer.

And like most marketers, it doesn't seem like you have acutally used the product prior to marketing it. You underestimated Krita. CMYK wasn't added just now. It was already present in prior versions. Krita features on top of that up to 32 bit floating point or integer RGB, L*a*b and Watercolor color spaces. Now THAT would have been something to brag about.
