Cambridge, United Kingdom, March 26, 2019 – Collabora Productivity, the driving force behind bringing LibreOffice to the cloud, is excited to announce a new release of our enterprise product Collabora Online 4.0.3. This release comes with lots of bugfixes and a few minor new features.
What’s new in Collabora Online 4.0.3?
New features
- Follow other editor behavior: we now show the flag with the suer name above the other users’ caret when they are typing or moving around in the document. When the other user stops interacting, the flag fades away after a second or two.
- In impress – we added keyboard bindings to allow switching slides with up/down arrow keys when the slide pane is focused.
- The Help URL is now configurable in /etc/lookitconfig.xcu and when the URL is unset, the Help buttons inside dialogs are hidden.
- MPLv2 code subset configuration is now built by default.
- Restored sort buttons to the toolbar in Calc – present in 3.4, and back by popular request in 4.0.3.
Notable bugfixes
- In some circumstances the convert-to folder could become filled with documents – we made the cleanup of in-progress conversions much more robust.
- When no avatar is available – we now show user colors:
- Do not disable the Close Document menu for read-only docs
- Last modification link should lead to revision history only when revision history feature is enabled
- Show a normal statusbar in narrow window
- Localization fixes
- Fix Save As when ‘%’ character is used within the filename
- Disable Thesaurus menu, when thesaurus is not available
- Fix a crash, when trying to accept changes
- Fix a crash, that occurred when no spelling dictionaries were available
- Make PDF exported watermarks (when printing) look more similar to the watermarks shown in the online editor – when tiles are watermarked.
- Fix rare corner-cases where under heavy load, concurrent editors may have had their changes attributed to other users.
