Thanks! It is the first time I get a definite answer on this and I have to admit that I was to time constraint (lazy?) to read through the standard. But this is good news!

There is no restriction in ODF that says you can use as-character anchoring only in text documents, but in LibreOffice it's only implemented in Writer.

There is a link to https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Coverity_scan_an... on that page.... It contains 4.4.

The release notes mention the Coverity stats, with data covering releases 4.1 to 4.4. The release notes show a graph with bars for 4.1, 4.2, and 4.4, but they link to this chart:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Coverity_scan_an...

But that chart says the data is for 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. Which is it?

(I haven't registered for access to their Coverity Scan database, as I'm not /that/ interested. Just curious.)

Compliments to the Libreoffice team for the release and the nice progress.

I hope that the next one will finally bring inline (anchor as character) formulas and pictures in impress that otherwise remains a rather problematic choice for scientific presentations.

In fact, I am taking the occasion of this post to ask to anyone who may know if the lack of inline formulas in impress is just an implementation limitation of LibO/OO or an inherent limitation of the odp format.

If there is some limitation in the odp format it would be nice to propose an enhancement to the standard as soon as possible.
