KOffice 2.0.0 released
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.
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."
The release team has decided that the following applications are mature enough to be part of 2.0:
- KWord - Word processor
- KSpread - Spreadsheet calculator
- KPresenter - Presentation manager
- KPlato - Project management software
- Karbon - Vector graphics editor
- Krita - Raster graphics editor
- KOffice is an integrated office suite built on the KDE platform.
- It utilizes free and open standards like OpenDocument for its document formats, component communication and component embedding.
- KOffice is free software.
