KOffice 2.0.1 Released

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Today, exactly one month since the release of KOffice 2.0.0, the KOffice team releases the first bugfix release in the 2.0 series. This release contains no new features but lots of bugfixes for almost all of the components in KOffice 2.0. We are planning at least two more bugfix releases of 2.0 before starting the 2.1 series in October this year.

More details of the 2.0.1 release can be found in the changelog. This version of KOffice is translated to no less than 27 languages, one more than 2.0.0. The new language for this release is Norwegian Bokmål, one of the two written forms of Norwegian.

KOffice 2.0.0 released

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

The KOffice team is extremely pleased to finally announce version 2.0.0 of KOffice.  This release marks the end of more than 3 years of work to port KOffice to Qt 4 and the KDE 4 libraries and, in some cases, totally rewrite the engine of the KOffice applications.

Sunrise on the Boardwalk by Arturo Donate

Over the last few years, the KOffice team has reworked the framework into an agile and flexible codebase.  Our intention was to increase integration between the components of KOffice, decrease duplication of functionality and ease maintenance and development of new features. Furthermore, new approaches to UI design and interacting with the user have been implemented to support the new capabilities.

Targeted Audience

Our goal for now is to release a first preview of what we have accomplished.  This release is mainly aimed at developers, testers and early adopters.  It is not aimed at end users, and we do not recommend Linux distributions to package it as the default office suite yet.
