新特性和改进

全新侧边栏

侧边栏是所有 OpenOffice 应用中的主要新特性。

比起传统的工具栏，侧边栏可更好地利用目前的宽屏显示。“属性”面板属于上下文相关型，该面板会显示其最常用于当前编辑任务的文档属性。

单击这些图片可查看详细视图：

上下文为文本、位图和图形的 Writer 截图（从左至右）。您可以将 OpenOffice 的新标志作为位图（中间）和可编辑的缩略图进行粘贴（右侧）。

如果您发现自己不经常使用特定面板，只需点击其标题，便可收缩到单行文本。面板标题左侧 + 或 - 指示面板是否需要收缩或扩展。

不同的收缩和扩展面板

• 有 11 个属性面板沿用了 IBM Lotus Symphony：对齐、区域、单元格外观、图形、线条、数字样式、页面、段落、位置和大小、文本和环绕。
• 有 7 个面板来自以前的 Impress 工具栏：可供使用的、动画效果、幻灯片布局、表格设计、最近使用的、幻灯片切换、在本演示文稿中使用。
• 有 4 个非模态（ie 非锁定）窗口：函数、库、导航、样式和格式。
• 有 1 个新的面板：插入。

面板来自 Symphony、旧版 Impress 任务栏、 OpenOffice 窗口（从左至右）。

您可调整侧边栏的宽度。控制面板的大小也会作出相应调整。如果您需要更多空间，还可以将侧边栏分离出来——可以将它移动到另一个视图窗口——或者将其调整缩小至标签栏。单击其中一个图标，侧边栏即可恢复。

侧边栏的不同宽度：最大宽度、默认宽度、太窄而无法显示内容、缩至标签栏（从左至右）。

可将浮动侧边栏移动至另一视图窗口
当然，侧边栏的控制面板不能展现 OpenOffice 的所有功能。如果您需要高级功能，只要点击面板标题栏上的“更多选项”按钮即可打开包含更多选项和属性的对话框。

点击“更多属性”以获取更多有用的选项。

DrawObject Improvements/Enhancements

New Color Palette

The Color Palette is enhanced and extended with a selection of more useful colors, arranged in a new scheme to make finding colors simpler.

The new Palette is a mix of the Lotus Symphony Palette combined with the most useful original colors.

New Gradients

The Gradients are enhanced and extended with new, more useful ones, mainly taken from Lotus Symphony. The old ones are kept, but moved to the end of the list (not in the picture). These Gradients create much nicer fills for uses such as Slide Backgrounds.

New Gallery Themes and Gallery enhancements

Gallery themes added from Symphony.

• Arrows
• Bullets (extended)
• Computers
• Diagrams
• Environment
• Finance
• People
• School & University
• Symbols
• Textshapes
• Transport

Enhancements to existing Gallery

• Old themes are kept and sometimes extended
• Gallery is now able to store and use SVG graphics
• Many new graphics are now in SVG format, which saves space on your computer and gives the user the highest quality vector format
• Ability to add your own SVG and Metafile format graphics
• Can now be oriented horizontally or vertically and will adapt it's layout automatically
• Now also available anytime in the new Sidebar

Refined the Selection Handles User Interface

• Selection Handles were reworked to be more distinguishable.
• Transparency was added to give a slight 'clue' when the Handles cover something, but only for the Handle's fill (not their outlines) to not make them harder to view as necessary.
• The design was slightly rounded.
• Colors were tweaked a little bit for better identification (mainly when Handles are selected).
• When Keyboard-travelling over handles (CTRL-TAB) yellow handles used for CustomShapes now blink as the other handles to visualize the active handle correctly.

Refined Selection Visualization

• For many occasions the selection of objects or multiple objects got enhanced using the selection color from the system.
• Usage and fetching of that system-wide SelectionColor was unified to guarantee it for all selections on all Systems.
• A slight blinking was added to identify objects where text can be added by starting to type or pressing return.

This is used in various places such as; Objects with TextEdit mode, highlighting of objects as Drag&Drop target or object manipulation (dashed black/white lines were used before).

Better Print Preview

The PrintPreview in the Print dialog is now fully AntiAlialised. The previous version was not, thus thin lines could vanish or produce missing parts.

Enhanced conversion to Bitmap Graphics

The conversion to Bitmap graphics is greatly enhanced for all kinds of draw objects, including chart OLEs and others. This is not only useful for internally converting objects to bitmaps, but also used for exports where bitmaps are needed, and the system clipboard. It works with single objects as well as multiple selections. Transparencies of the object and AntiAliasing on its edges are perfect now.

Enhanced FillType 'Bitmap'

All DrawingObjects which can have a Bitmap filling can now profit from the new, greatly enhanced Bitmap FillType:

• The new Bitmap FillType preserves Transparency, the old version was not capable of this and always added a white background.
• It allows the use of vector graphics which stay vector graphic when processed (especially useful in e.g. printing, PDF and other exports).
• It supports SVG and Metafile as FillData, no longer restricted to BitmapData.
• Tiling, AutoFit, Size, Position and Offset settings are fully supported (in Area dialog).
• Animated GIF's are now allowed as FillTypes.

Examples of this include:

1. Self-create a scaling-independent fill by drawing anything anytime using DeawObjects
   1. convert it to Metafile
   2. create a FillStyle based on it
2. Use a SVG or import a vector format (WMF) to define a new FillStyle.

Think about the possibilities for filling the Backgrounds of Pages, Chart bars or other items. This will be used as vector data when printing or at PDF export.

Enhanced Copy/Paste

All applications now support transparent and anti-aliased versions of, for example, DrawObjects in the selection to be exchanged with external applications. This is a result of the enhanced conversion to Bitmap and adding the PNG graphic format to the supported clipboard formats.

Non-Graphic objects are converted on-demand, and graphic objects are copied with full transparency and AntiAliasing support.

It is now possible to Copy/Paste any object to an external PixelGraphic application, modify it as needed, and copy it back to any OpenOffice Application without quality loss. This allows everyone easy and complete image manipulation outside the Office with the tool of his choice and the capabilities he needs.

Enhanced Drag&Drop

Drag&Drop has been enhanced by an 'internal' mode. It is now possible to Drag&Drop anything 'onto' an existing DrawObject to change it's graphic or fill style when holding CTRL+SHIFT (Ctrl+Cmd on Mac) during Drag&Drop.

As visual control, the target object for the Drag&Drop is visualized using the new Selection Visualization and a unique MouseCursor.

• Drag&Drop from external: change FillStyle to Bitmap (including transparence), use e.g. SVG or metafile
• Drag&Drop internal (klick on the source object(s), wait a second until MousePointer changes, start dragging, hold CTRL+SHIFT)

• when source is a DrawObject: Styles are copied (LineStyle, FillStyle, etc.)
• when source is a GraphicObject: FillStyle is adapted to source's geometry content

Here is an example:

(a) Draw an object, e.g. a rounded rectangle with an outline, Draw an arrow object, choose fill and line style for it.
(b) If you Drag&Drop onto the target object, it copies FillStyle and LineStyle.
(c) If you convert the arrow to metafile (e.g. using context menu), Drag&Drop onto the target object, it gets filled with the arrow's vector data.

This comes in very handy if you need to quickly define an object FillStyles or want to copy the GraphicStyles of one object to others.

Also very useful:

• You can use the Gallery as in-betwen space for DrawObjects or GraphicObjects used for that purpose.
• You can directly Drag&Drop from there onto DrawObjects.
• You can Drag&Drop from external sources onto DrawObjects.

Adapt LineStart/End to LineWidth

It is practical when you change the LineWidth of an Object which has ArrowHeads defined at its start/end when the ArrowHeads used get adapted to your LineWidth change; else you have to adapt these by your own. This was already done for Draw and Impress. This is now unified and centralized and works in all OpenOffice applications.

SVG Export enhancements

Some enhancements for SVG export were added to avoid some quality losses.  More improvements are planned in this area for future releases.

SVG/Metafile Break improvements

If an imported SVG/metafile  is manipulated, it needs to be broken up into DrawObjects.   This code was improved in this release.  More improvements are planned in this area for future releases.

SVG Import improvements

Enhancements and bug fixes were made in the SVG Import code . Thanks to all Users  who were reporting issues and providing test documents for SVG.  If you have a SVG file which looks different than it should, do not hesitate to attach it to an issue in the Apache OpenOffice Bugzilla.

Picture Crop mode offers preview

When working on a GraphicObject it is allowed to set a Crop region for it.  When using the interactive mode for that, the new version shows the non-visible part of the Graphic content (the croppped part) as transparent and surrounds it with a light border.  This way you no longer have to guess where or how big the cropped data is.

This example shows cropping in an SVG graphic:

Unified visualization of ColorPalette popups

All places where a ColorPalette popup is shown (the form where the colors are organized in a raster) are overhauled and made to use the same sizes and width.  The width (12 columns) was adapted to the new designed ColorPalette. For a picture see 'New Color Palette'

Transparency support for pixel formats (PNG)

When exporting selected drawing objects to formats that support transparency, e.g., PNG, OpenOffice now uses a transparent background by default. This allows to further use graphics created in other applications or for further processing.

Connectors support rotation

Connectors no longer disable rotation or shear tools when selected. While this is a small benefit with single connectors, it is very useful when selecting a number of graphic objects and wanting to rotate them. This was requested in the OpenOffice Community Forum, where a user wanted to rotate a drawing made of many draw objects and many connectors by 90 degrees. This is now possible without the inconvenience of deselecting all of the connectors.

Corrected Hatch fill style visualization

When zooming out or in small visualizations (e.g. Page Previews) objects or pages using a hatch fill style were poorly visualized since too many hatch lines were shown in a small area. The Hatch Fill Style now uses a minimal line distance to make it look good for visualizations in Edit Views. This was already the case in older office versions, but was lost in the redesign of the visualization.

Better gradient support in metafiles

Gradients in metafiles are rotated and sheared (slanted) together with the metafile and so behave similar to bitmap graphics. Start color and end color are included in those gradients now. This improvement becomes visible if you use a small number of gradient steps. All gradients are now shown in presentation mode the same as they are shown in edit mode.

Calc and Chart Improvements/Enhancements

Support relative Pie Chart Height:

For Pie charts imported from other formats, the Height attribute was not supported. This is added now and makes Pie Charts look more like the original.

New Functions

Calc now supports the spreadsheet functions:  AVERAGEIFS, COUNTIFS, and SUMIFS.  These functions allow you to combine several conditions.

Calc now supports the function XOR. The function completes the already available set of Boolean functions.

Calc now supports the functions LEFTB, RIGHTB, LENB, and MIDB. These functions are special versions for DBCS (double byte character set) languages.

Calc's RAND function was reimplemented to use the Mersenne-Twister algorithm.

Extensions Improvements/Enhancements

New Toolbar management

Extensions now use a new Toolbar management, see https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121577 ; at the moment, Extensions for 3.x that are using the deprecated mechanism will have to be updated to work with OpenOffice 4.0. Many popular extensions, including dictionaries, are not affected by the change.

Unified menu API

The Menu API has been unified, making it more clear and API-user-friendly. The following interfaces have been deprecated and replaced: css.awt.XMenuExtended, css.awt.XMenuExtended2, css.awt.XMenuBarExtended, css.awt.XPopupMenuExtended. See https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121542#c2 for details.

Note: extension authors who require more information on the above changes are encouraged to post their questions to our API mailing list.

Performance Improvements/Enhancements

Many resource leaks were fixed.

Many resource leaks were fixed, reducing memory requirements and improving application stability.

Speedup of Graphic Rendering

More Rendering speedups are used (on systems supporting it, system-dependent)

• Bitmaps with transparency are painted directly
• Bitmaps which are transformed (rotated/sheared/mirrored) are painted directly
• Lines with LineWidth and/or transparence are painted directly
• Geometry and Pixel data is buffered in system-dependent formats

For example, this allows even animated GIFs to be used as object fill style for any object and to transform these in real time (when supported on the system).   It also greatly enhances visualization geometry during editing (in the EditViews) when supported.

改进的质量管理工具

新的自动化测试框架

Apache OpenOffice 4.0 有基于 JUNIT 的新的自动化测试框架，用于以下领域的测试

• BVT （基本验证测试）
• FVT （功能验证测试）
• PVT （性能验证测试）
• SVT （系统验证测试）

影响向后兼容性的变更

移除了 binfilter 模块

不再支持 StarOffice 遗留文件格式（扩展名为 .sdw, .sdc, .sdd 等的文件）。移除这一代码更易于 OpenOffice 代码库的维护。这些遗留格式从未是 OpenOffice 任一版本的默认格式。建议有 StarOffice 遗留文件的用户*在升级*至 Apache OpenOffice 4.0 之前，将文件重新保存为 ODF 格式（.odt, *.ods, *.odp 等）。该操作可在 OpenOffice 3.x 上通过“文件”(File) - “向导”(Wizards) - “文件转换器”(Document Converter) 实现，仍支持 OpenOffice 3.x 的文件（*.sxw, *.sxc, *.sxi）。

Python support updated

PyUNO is now compatible with the latest C-Python 3.x but in order to reduce the impact for existing applications, support for C-Python 2.x has been preserved and remains the default. The internal Python, used by default in the Windows and MacOS-X ports, has now been upgraded with version 2.7.5 which fixes hundreds of bugs and has important performance improvements but is still compatible with previous versions. Existing scripts may require minor adjustments but will normally just continue working as before.

Support for system C++ STL

The stlport4 template library was obsoleted with the TR1 report of the C++ standard and was deprecated and no longer maintained. Apache OpenOffice 4 switches to the system's native standard template library, so extensions written in C++ need to be recompiled with the Apache OpenOffice 4 SDK.

Bug Fixes

As of July 17th 2013 there were 498 verified issues that have been resolved.

This list can be found at: VERIFIED or CLOSED

(An OpenOffice Bugzilla login will enable you to search for any bugs that may interest you.)

Important bug fixes have been made in these areas:

Support for Java 7, and the Java Access Bridge v2.0.3 implemented in JRE 1.7u6 and later has been restored. Windows OS users requiring Accessibility support for Assistive Technology tools can now use current Oracle releases of the Java SE 7 Runtime Environment and the Java Accessibility API on Windows.

The QA team has been tracking additional fixes as well. See their complete reports at:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/Report/WeeklyReport

Known Issues

• Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 will be flagged by the new Gatekeeper facility in Mac OS X Mountain Lion. This is a new feature to help guard against malware on Mac systems. There is a procedure laid out at the following link to allow applications not installed from the Mac App store to run. See the article at Mac support at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290.

• Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 supports Java 7, which is the recommended configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. If you still have problems, install the most current JRE 6 version. Make sure you get the file "Windows x86 Offline (32-bit)". Then configure OpenOffice to use it at "Tools - Options - OpenOffice - Java". See this forum topic for more information.

• Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0. has got a new color palette. If you have migrated your "personal data" from a previous version, the old color palette is migrated too: you won't see the new palette and (if you are using a non-English version) some of the color names will appear in English only. To get the new palette close Apache OpenOffice and its quickstarter, search for the file “standard.soc” in your Apache OpenOffice user folder and rename the file, to “standard_AOO341.soc” for example. With the next start of Apache OpenOffice the new color palette is transferred to your user folder and is available.

Upgrading/Installation

When installing Apache OpenOffice 4.0.0 on a machine that already has OpenOffice 3.4.1 or 3.4.0 installed on it, the user will be prompted on whether they would like "personal data" from the previous version migrated over to the new version.  This includes information like custom spell checking words, dictionaries, extensions, etc. By default this migration is enabled, but the user can disable it via the checkbox.

In some cases, when the user first launches Apache OpenOffice 4.0 after an upgrade that included personal data migration, the user will see a dialog like this:
It is safe to click OK on this dialog.

After an upgrade is completed, there may be some files related to the older version of OpenOffice still on your machine.  These can be safely deleted:

• The empty directory:  C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\share\uno_packages\cache\uno_packages
• Install files directories from previous versions, often on your Desktop, with names like:
  • OpenOffice.org 3.4.1 (en-US) Installation Files
  • OpenOffice.org 3.4 (en-US) Installation Files
  • OpenOffice.org 3.3 (en-US) Installation Files

For additional upgrade/installation information, please see the Install Guide.
