KDE Releases Calligra Suite 2.8

Posted by timothy on from the consistently-impressive dept.

It's not just graphics app Krita: user KDE Community writes "The Calligra team is proud and pleased to announce the release of version 2.8 of the Calligra Suite, Calligra Active and the Calligra Office Engine. Major new features in this release are comments support in Author and Words, improved Pivot tables in Sheets, improved stability and the ability to open hyperlinks in Kexi. Flow introduces SVG based stencils and as usual there are many new features in Krita including touch screens support and a wraparound painting mode for the creation of textures and tiles." KDE has also just announced the first beta of its Applications and Platform 4.13.

  1. It's an Openoffice-like thing by innocent_white_lamb · · Score: 5, Informative

    For other folks who are like me, and are wondering what this thing is, it's apparently an office suite like Openoffice, Libreoffice, etc.

    I've never heard of it up to now, myself.

      It's the old KOffice.

      Krita is probably the most usefull of the apps and I've already replaced GIMP with it, however the rest are also slowly maturing :)
