The KOffice Project KOffice 1.6.2 Changelog
The following summarises the major changes to the KOffice suite since the release of KOffice 1.6.2 (latest stable version). This is mainly a bug fix release, but some new features were added to Krita and Kexi.
Security Fixes
KWord Import Filter for PDF- There is a security issue in the import filter for PDF, that is fixed with this release. Every KOffice user should upgrade to 1.6.2 for this reason alone.
New Features
Kexi- in Table Designer, some changes do not require removing data from tables now: e.g. field's caption, description, text width, default value, visible decimal places
- external "Add column" tool for adding empty table column in a .kexi (SQLite 3) database file without removing data from the table
- external "Delete column" tool for deleting table columns without removing data
- "User Mode" implemented: command line option --final-mode replaced with --user-mode, then all actions related to design are hidden as well as the Property Editor and Navigator panes
- support for multiple visible columns in the combo box widget
- Kexi allows to assign much more types of actions to form buttons
