Calligra 2.4 released

[Posted April 12, 2012 by corbet]

Version 2.4 of the Calligra office suite has been released. The version number notwithstanding, this is Calligra's first release in this form; there is a lot of interesting stuff to be found therein. "Calligra now has a completely rewritten text layout engine that can handle most of the advanced layout features of ODF. This includes tables that can now span more than one page, footnotes and endnotes and correct run-around around other objects such as pictures. This text layout engine is used all over the suite. The Words application itself is also largely rewritten but this is not as visible to the user."

For more info about Calligra, I'd like to point to the excellent LWN article by Bruce Byfield from january this year:
