OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 RC2


OpenOffice.org the product is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing program, with a user interface and feature set similar to other office suites. Sophisticated and flexible, OpenOffice.org also works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office.
Available in over 45 supported languages with more being constantly added by the community, OpenOffice.org runs stably and natively on Solaris, Linux (including PPC Linux), Windows, Mac OS X (X11), and numerous other platforms. Our porting page lists the platforms (ports) that OpenOffice.org can run on.
Written in C++ and with documented APIs licensed under the LGPL and SISSL Open Source licenses, OpenOffice.org allows any knowledgeable developer to benefit from the source. And, because the file format for OpenOffice.org is XML, interoperability is easy, making future development and adoption more certain.


Highlights:
* Word Processor. OpenOffice.org Writer is a full-featured word processor. The powerful Navigator and Stylist tools make changing the formatting throughout a document a simple task.
* Spreadsheet. OpenOffice.org Calc provides full spreadsheet functionality incl. a huge number of statistical and scientific functions, pivot tables and charts.
* Presentation Tool. OpenOffice.org Impress is a full-featured presentation tool that allows to create and modify diagrams and pictures right within the application.
* Drawings and Diagrams. OpenOffice.org Draw is a drawing tool that supports both vector and bitmap images. The powerful Connectors allow to easily complex diagrams and org charts.
* Database Access. With the database tools in OpenOffice.org users can easily access and analyze data, create complex reports or do a mail merge based on a customer database. Many open source and commercial database systems are supported.
* Microsoft Office Compatibility. OpenOffice.org is able to read and write Microsoft Office files. This allows users to open and save Word, Excel and PowerPoint files on their preferred platform incl. Windows, Linux and Solaris.
* One-click Export to PDF. OpenOffice.org 1.1 introduces the one-click PDF export feature that enables you to easily create PDF files without the need for any additional third party software. This feature makes exchanging documents in a standard "read-only" file format a trivial task. The creation of PDF files normally requires relatively expensive third party add-on tools. With OpenOffice.org this feature comes for free.
* Export to Flash (.SWF). OpenOffice.org now can export presentations and drawings to the Macromedia Flash format (.swf). Thus, it's now possible to view presentations in a simple web browser that has the Flash plugin installed. Recipients and users of Flash presentations don't have to install a special viewer anymore in order to view a presentation.
* Accessibility. OpenOffice.org 1.1 can now be used by handicapped people - for example people with sight problems. OpenOffice.org 1.1 provides a high contrast mode, and together with additional tools (see http://www.sun.com/access/) it's even possible to use special entry devices.
* Support for many native languages. OpenOffice.org 1.1 introduces functionality like bi-directional and vertical writing that is required for many native languages. This allows OpenOffice.org 1.1 to be translated into Japanese, Hebrew and many other languages that have sophisticated text layout requirements. In addition the OpenOffice.org project has an increasing number of native-language projects where users can access OpenOffice.org information in their native language.
* Open XML File Format. The default file format in OpenOffice.org is an open XML file format defined in a 500-page specification document. Every OpenOffice.org file is a ZIP archive containing separate XML files for the content, styles, settings and meta data. OASIS is using the OpenOffice.org file format as the basis for the creation of a industry wide standard for an open office document file format. For ordinary end users this means that the content of documents can still be accessed and used even if OpenOffice.org would go away.
* API and File Format Compatible with StarOffice 7[tm] Office Suite. Since the StarOffice 7[tm] Office Suite is based on OpenOffice.org 1.1 both application suites are API and file format compatible. Sun Microsystems, Inc., the founder and main sponsor of the OpenOffice.org project, is providing support, training, enterprise tools and services for the StarOffice 7 Office Suite. More details about the relationship and the feature differences between OpenOffice.org and the StarOffice product can be found in a comparison document on the OpenOffice.org page at sun.com. Other office suites that are API and file format compatible with OpenOffice.org will soon be listed on the OpenOffice.org website. In order to get your OpenOffice.org based/compatible product included in that list please contact Erwin Tenhumberg or Louis Suarez-Potts.
* Macro Recorder. The new macro recorder records and automates recurring tasks. For more sophisticated programming tasks the OpenOffice.org Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used. The SDK provides libraries, tools and documentation for the Java programming language, C++, Basic, OLE and XML. The SDK is a separate download.
* 3rd Party Add-ons. The new add-on framework and the new deployment tool (the "pkgchk" utility) allow developers to easily include new components and 3rd party add-ons into an existing OpenOffice.org installation.
* XML File Filter Tool. The new XML file filter tool makes it easy to integrate new import or export file filters that are based on XSL transformations. A popular use case for the XML filter tool is the support for the new Microsoft Office 2003 XML file formats.
* ActiveX Control. OpenOffice.org 1.1 comes with an ActiveX control that allows users to view OpenOffice.org documents within a browser window (Internet Explorer) on the Windows platform. The ActiveX control can also be used within native applications developed in Microsoft VisualBasic or Borland Delphi.
* Support for DocBook and PDA File Formats. OpenOffice.org allows users to export OpenOffice.org documents to popular file formats like DocBook or various small device file formats like AportisDoc. This gives users the possibility to carry their documents with them on their Palm Pilots and Pocket PC PDA's.
* MySQL Integration. OpenOffice.org now has support for MySQL databases, i.e. the open source database can be used for mail merge activities and the creation of reports. The combination of OpenOffice.org and MySQL (or another supported database) allows users to do tasks that many people used to solve by using products like Microsoft Access.

Rilasciata la versione finale della major release di OpenOffice 3.0 in lingua italiana.

L'Associazione PLIO annuncia OpenOffice.org 3.0, la terza "major release" della suite di produttività open source che in pochi anni è divenuta un temibile concorrente per Microsoft sul mercato italiano, come dimostra la crescita dei download e delle installazioni negli ultimi anni. Quasi a celebrare l'avvenimento, oggi viene doppiato il risultato del 2007 con il superamento dei 3.580.000 download dall'inizio del 2008, ovvero uno ogni 7 secondi.

OpenOffice.org 3.0 è molto più di una semplice applicazione di produttività. Con questa nuova versione, i componenti di base - il word processor, il foglio elettronico, il modulo per le presentazioni, quelli per la grafica business, le formule e la gestione dei database - vengono integrati con le funzionalità delle estensioni, che in alcuni casi offrono novità assolute per il mercato dell'office automation. OpenOffice.org ha scelto un approccio architetturale estremamente modulare, che consente a chiunque di aggiungere nuovi servizi e funzionalità.

"La realtà italiana di OpenOffice.org continua a crescere", afferma Davide Dozza, Presidente dell'Associazione PLIO. "Nonostante il nostro Paese sia tra quelli più indietro nell'adozione di Open Document Format (il formato standard ISO usato in modo nativo da OpenOffice.org), per la tradizionale cautela al cambiamento che pervade il mondo ICT, i singoli utenti, le aziende private e gli enti pubblici continuano a passare a OpenOffice.org per le sue funzionalità e la sua compatibilità con MS Office, caratteristiche che migliorano ulteriormente con la versione 3.0, che è disponibile in modo nativo anche per Mac OS X e quindi ci permette di raggiungere un nuovo gruppo di utenti e dei nuovi mercati".

"OpenOffice.org 3.0 è più potente e veloce rispetto alle versioni precedenti, e con il supporto per i file .accdb di MS Access 2007, quello migliorato per le macro VBA, e la capacità di leggere i documenti OOXML di MS Office 2007, rende ancora più semplice e trasparente la migrazione dal software proprietario a quello libero", aggiunge Italo Vignoli, Responsabile Marketing del Progetto Linguistico Italiano OpenOffice.org.

OpenOffice.org 3.0 ha un aspetto grafico completamente rinnovato, con un nuovo start center e un nuovo insieme di icone, e offre una lunga serie di funzionalità completamente nuove (l'elenco completo è disponibile in formato PDF ibrido sul sito http://www.plio.it):

Writer (word processing): visualizzazione di più pagine in fase di modifica del documento, migliore gestione degli strumenti linguistici che vengono installati come estensioni (doppio clic), migliore gestione delle note.

Calc (foglio elettronico): aumento delle dimensioni del foglio a 1024 colonne, nuovo modulo per la risoluzione dei problemi di programmazione lineare, nuove funzionalità di collaborazione per gruppi di utenti.

Impress (presentazioni): possibilità di inserire le tabelle nella presentazione.

Draw (disegno e grafica): aumento delle dimensioni del foglio fino a nove metri quadrati (300cm x 300cm).

OpenOffice.org 3.0 migliora anche il supporto delle estensioni, che offrono alcune funzioni completamente nuove come il supporto multilingue, la reportistica per le aziende, la riduzione delle dimensioni delle presentazioni (comprese quelle di MS Office, di dimensioni megalitiche, sulle quali lo stesso MS Office permette di intervenire solo manualmente), lo schermo per il presentatore, e infine la modifica dei file PDF e la gestione del PDF ibrido, ovvero un file PDF che OpenOffice.org gestisce come un normale file ODF modificabile.

Record di download per OpenOffice 3.0

[wintricks]Sono oltre 3 milioni gli utenti che hanno scelto come suite d'ufficio OpenOffice, e il dato interessante è che la stragrande maggioranza dei download è stata per la versione Windows.

Più tiepidi gli utenti del pinguino: solo 221mila sono stati i download effettuati per la piattaforma Linux, nonostante OpenOffice sia la suite di riferimento per gli utenti Linux, questi preferiscono che siano i maintainer delle distro ad aggiornare la suite. Sono state, infatti, solo 1394 le copie del codice sorgente che sono state scaricate.

Per la prima volta OpenOffice è disponibile anche per Mac OS X, quindi funzionante senza passare per X11. Questo ha portato 321 mila utenti a effettuare il download e a testare la suite sui propri Mac. Ricordiamo che OpenOffice può aprire e salvare i file creati con Microsoft Office. I file OOXML (Office Open XML) possono essere tranquillamente aperti ma non è ancora possibile salvarli nativamente.[/wintricks]

OpenOffice 3.0.1 RC1

[wintricks]Per i patiti e i curiosi è disponibile la RC di OpenOffice 3.0.1 OpenOffice è un progetto Open Source che ha quale scopo primario lo sviluppo di una suite per l'ufficio multi-lingua e multi-piattaforma, basata sullo standard aperto XML per il salvataggio dei documenti, che riesca a ben proporsi come valida alternativa - gratuita! - ai software più famosi, come ad esempio Microsoft Office.[/wintricks]
