First update of major release Collabora Online 4.2
After a lot of encouraging feedback we received on the major 4.2.0 Online release, we’re happy to now announce the first update!
New Features
-
Context menu option to put a shape or image to the background of text on Writer. (Wrap → Wrap Through + In Background, Arrange → To Background and To Foreground)
-
Writer documents can be exported to EPUB format. Use File > Download as > EPUB (.epub)
This uses the default similar to File > Export As > Export Directly As EPUB in LibreOffice / Collabora Office.
Improved features
-
Consistent Calc formula bar focusing in all cases
-
Possibility to easily navigate across wide merged cells in Calc
-
You can use Table of Contents links in Writer document
-
Updated translations
Fixes
-
In some cases the font dropdown contained only 2 fonts instead of all fonts installed. This has been fixed
-
Search bar did not accept letter ‘r’. This has been fixed
-
Fixed slide reordering by drag-and-drop in Impress
-
Fixed printing in Internet Explorer 11
-
Collabora Online never supported opening .oxt files (LibreOffice extensions) and .odb files (LibreOffice database files). We removed these file types from WOPI discovery.xml
-
Fixed the z-index of some pop-up dialogs, e.g. the warning to exceeded document/connection limit dialog is visible again
-
Fixed download action when server is running with no capabilities
- On CentOS 8, Ubuntu 18.04, and Debian 10, which have OpenSSL 1.1.1, now we link loolwsd with Poco 1.10.1. That solves SSL connection issues, e.g. connecting to sites that have certificates made with elliptic curve key
-
On some systems the “child-root” jails were not cleaned up after use. This has been fixed
