LibreOffice Vanilla 5.1.1.3 is the most recent release of the LibreOffice productivity suite on OS X and is almost identical to the latest copy of LibreOffice Fresh by Document Foundation contributors. The suite has improved significantly as explained in the Release Notes page on documentfoundation.org.

One of the new features that stands out is the Remote file open/save dialogue. You can now easily open and save remote files from resources as Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Alfresco and others. In the Start screen and “File” menu you can find the “Open remote files” option, and to save to a remote resource, just select “Save to remote server”.


Writer – new features

Calc – new features

Collabora Office for the Mac, the enterprise-ready version of LibreOffice Vanilla

While LibreOffice Vanilla is recommended for early adopters who wish to experience new features, Collabora Productivity also released Collabora Office for the Mac. Collabora Office is the enterprise-ready version LibreOffice Vanilla, for users seeking professional stability and support options and combines Collabora’s latest compatibility and document integrity features with a host of improvements from the LibreOffice community. Redesigned toolbars, menus, rulers, and dialogues make these powerful additions more attractive and efficient to use.

Changes from 4.4 to 5.0

A lot of changes have been made. Many of the improvements are under the hood, but the Mac version of Collabora Office 5.0 also significantly improved the User Interface. Now there are style previews in the sidebar and there is image cropping, table management, conditional formatting (in Calc) and more. Additionally, the Remote file open/save dialogue from LibreOffice Vanilla 5.1 has been backported, so that this useful functionality is also included.

 

LibreOffice Vanilla 5.1 and Collabora Office 5.0 are now available directly from Apple’s Mac App Store.

code-logoCambridge, United Kingdom – December 15, 2015.

Collabora, the architects of LibreOffice Online, are proud to announce the release of CODE (Collabora Online Development Edition), a distribution of LibreOffice Online and ownCloud Server. The purpose of CODE is to give interested developers from any field an easy way to get early access to the very latest untested feature additions and updates to LibreOffice Online, in order to enable them to develop, test, and contribute.

This release also marks the start of a partnership between Collabora and ownCloud, the company behind the world’s most popular open source enterprise file sync and share (EFSS) software. The partnership will deliver a combined commercial solution during 2016, based on an integration between Collabora CloudSuite – a trio of Online, Mobile and Desktop office productivity combined with ownCloud Server.

Highlights

  • Collabora announces the release of CODE (Collabora Online Development Edition).
  • CODE is an unsupported R&D edition of the integration based on LibreOffice Online and ownCloud Server.
  • Collabora and ownCloud announce Partnership and will deliver a combined commercial solution in 2016, based on an integration between Collabora CloudSuite and ownCloud Server.

“We’re delighted to partner with ownCloud to strengthen our go-to-market posture as we look forward to fulfilling the considerable market demand for an Open Source cloud document suite.” said Michael Meeks, General Manager of Collabora Productivity “This initial release of CODE is our first step in this exciting journey. By design, Collabora Online does not include essential cloud functionality such as identity management or storage. CODE gives a show-case of how filling this gap with a complementary integration with ownCloud gives a taste of the final deployment experience.”

 

“Collabora is a great Open Source Contributor and a great partner for ownCloud to deliver a full LibreOffice Online experience integrated with ownCloud to the ownCloud Community. Developers and Users will be able to easily view and edit documents while storing them in ownCloud. ” said Frank Karlitschek, ownCloud Founder and Project Leader at ownCloud “This integration proves the power of integration between leading Projects and allows full support for all major document, spreadsheet and presentation file formats.”

CODE (Collabora Online Development Edition) allows prototype editing of richly formatted documents from a web browser. With good support for key industry file formats , including text documents (docx, doc, odt, pdf…), spreadsheets (xlsx, xls, ods,…) and presentations (pptx, ppt, odp,…). All files are processed in the cloud and rendered locally. This initial version allows basic editing. Collaborative and rich editing are on the roadmap. Interested developers can download CODE as an easy to deploy virtual machine base image, bundled with ownCloud Server, and get started contributing to both projects right away.
