libreoffice: Update to 7.5.0.3

Changelog:
LibreOffice 7.5 Community: Release Notes
Writer

  * Content controls: added a new plain text type. blog post (Miklos Vajna,
    Collabora)
  * Content controls: added a new combo box type and PDF export. blog post
    (Miklos Vajna, Collabora)
  * Content controls: added titles and tags. blog post (Miklos Vajna,
    Collabora)
  * Now tabs can be edited for multiple paragraphs with different settings at a
    time. Tabs dialogue (Format ▸ Paragraph... ▸ Tabs) is available even when
    multiple paragraphs are selected which has different settings. core commit
    9f7b3 (Pranam Lashkari)
  * Improved kashida insertion position validation, to prevent inserting
    kashida between contextually substituted glyphs breaking word shape. core
    commit 9a6b6 (Khaled Hosny)

  * Correctly calculate text caret position inside ligatures, and use caret
    positions from the font when available. tdf#30731 (Khaled Hosny)
  * Fix broken colored Arabic text when enabling Show Formatting Marks. tdf#
    150726 (Khaled Hosny)
  * It is now possible to define a custom color for Grammar mistakes in the
    Application Colors dialog (Tools ▸ Options... ▸ LibreOffice ▸ Application
    Colors). core commit 0aa61 (Rafael Lima)
  * AutoTexts created using "New (text only)" no longer insert a new line at
    the end of the AutoText. The currently embedded AutoTexts have been
    adjusted accordingly by explicitly adding a new line at the end of the
    text. User-created AutoTexts, relying on the trailing new line, should be
    re-created including the trailing empty paragraph. tdf#53023 (Andreas
    Heinisch)

  * Page number in status bar now uses a range when the view spans several
    pages. tdf#90150 (Jim Raykowski)

Spell checking

  * Better recognition of typos, and better suggestions in Danish, Dutch,
    Estonian, German, Hungarian, Norwegian and Swedish with the improved
    compound word recognition algorithm of Hunspell spell checker. Hunspell
    1.7.2 commit (László Németh, FSF.hu)
  * Moving text cursor Up/Down triggers pending spell checking of the last
    modified word. tdf#124603 (László Németh, NISZ)

    based on tdf#126657 (Khaled Hosny) and tdf#152492)
  * Keep comment of the corrected words, instead of removing it without being
    noticed tdf#65535 (László Németh) Note: continuation of the following
    improvements, which were left out of the previous release notes: core
    commit d08e4137 tdf#66043 sw: fix spell checking of word with deletion (Lá
    szló Németh, introduced in version 7.2) and core commit a6555eb8 tdf#
    65535 sw spell: ignore comment marker when checking spelling (Justin Luth,

Bookmark editing in Insert Bookmark dialog window

  * Bookmark text content can be edited in the dialog. core commit aa6ec
    (Michael Stahl, allotropia)
  * The Bookmark dialog accessed from Navigator ▸ Bookmarks ▸ Right click ▸
    Edit... now opens with the clicked bookmark already selected. core commit
    9cc6a (Michael Stahl, allotropia)

    the dialog, allowing sorting the not hidden (user-defined) bookmarks before
    them by a single click on header Hidden. tdf#150955 (László Németh,
    NISZ)

Colored bookmarks for metadata visualization

Show visible marks in custom color defined in bookmark metadata. tdf#150717 (L
ászló Németh)

émeth)

In the form of

#BookmarkName1 Bookmark
#BookmarkName2 Bookmark Start
#BookmarkName2 Bookmark End

Where Bookmark, Start and End are localized words.

Bookmark visualization

Various improvements of bookmark visibility (see Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice
Writer ▸ Formatting Aids ▸ Bookmarks. (László Németh, NISZ)

Note: this is a continuation to Michael Stahl’s fix for tdf#45589 ("create and
paint text portions for bookmarks"), introduced in LibreOffice 7.0.

  * ⌶-shape point bookmark (The previous shape, a single vertical line was
    overlapped with visible page margin at beginning of the paragraphs, also it
    was very similar to the NBSP and narrow NBSP shading.) tdf#150791

  * ][-shape (i.e. double) marks for neighboring bookmark ranges (instead of a
    single vertical line, which could not be distinguished from point bookmark
    symbol previously). tdf#150790

  * All bookmarks at the same character position are visible now, e.g. instead
    of a single |, neighboring bookmarks with point bookmarks are shown e.g. as
    ] ⌶ [ or ] ] ⌶ ⌶ [ [

  * Do not show visible marks for hidden _Toc and _Ref bookmarks imported from
    OOXML, like Microsoft Office does. tdf#150956

  * Multiple start marks of range bookmarks positioned before the character
    position, multiple end marks of range bookmarks positioned after the
    character position, i.e. single type boundary marks are there outside of
    the bookmark text:

some |text| here
    [[    ]]

  * Neighboring end and start marks are centered around the character position:

|text1|text2|
[    ]] [[    ]

  * Marks of the same character position are sorted based on their type: ], ⌶,
    [, e.g.

] ] ⌶ ⌶ [ [ [

  * Same type marks of the same character position are sorted based on their
    color:

[c1 [c2 [c3 ... c3] c2] c1]

Accessibility

  * Images, embedded objects and text frames can now be marked as decorative,
    which allows assistive technology to ignore them in exported PDFs. (Michael
    Stahl, allotropia) tdf#143311 core commit 31084
  * Hyperlinks, table of content and other indices keep their language, and
    with this, their accessibility. tdf#39794 tdf#145104 (fixed in tdf#126657
    by Khaled Hosny, follow-up fixes: tdf#152492 and tdf#45949 by László Né
    meth)

Accessibility checker

  * Add several accessibility checker rules. (Paris Oplopoios, Collabora) core
    commit b4586 core commit f9eb5 core commit f03d2 core commit 2c44f core
    commit de02e core commit 043f0 core commit a1ae3 core commit 76615 core
    commit 5c893 core commit 3c0be
  * Add Rescan button to Accessibility Check dialog. (Samuel Mehrbrodt,
    allotropia) tdf#148999
  * Make Accessibility Check dialog non-modal. (Samuel Mehrbrodt, allotropia)
    tdf#148971

  * Automatic (Online) Accessibility Check has been added, which scans for
    accessibility issues while the user is editing the document. The
    accessibility status is shown in the status bar. You can enable it in the
    main menu (Tools ▸ Automatic Accessibility Checking). Currently it is only
    available when experimental mode is enabled, as it doesn't take all
    document objects into account. (Tomaž Vajngerl, Collabora)

Machine translation

  * Initial machine translation is available, backend by DeepL translate (Mert
    Tumer, Collabora) core commit e20d2

Performance

  * Cutting hundreds of pages with numbered lists in Writer tdf#129101 (Noel
    Grandin, Collabora)
  * Export to EPUB in Windows tdf#133768 (Noel Grandin, Collabora)
  * Opening Writer documents with large tables tdf#126788 (Noel Grandin,
    Collabora)

Calc

  * Cell input with leading ' apostrophe in cells that are not formatted as
    Text was changed to always strip the first apostrophe and force the
    remainder as text content. Previously, the user had to know (or guess)
    whether an input could be converted to a numeric type (number, date, ...)
    and prefix only that to force text, but not prefix a textual type that
    could not be converted, which was confusing and bad UX. The handling is not
    changed for cells already formatted as Text, where every input is continued
    to be accepted literally as content and a leading apostrophe is not
    removed. tdf#149665 (Eike Rathke, Red Hat)

  * Add support for Kamenický and Mazovia encodings. tdf#150877 (Stephan
    Bergmann, Red Hat)

  * Conditional formatting's begins-with/ends-with/contains are now
    case-insensitive like the rest of the conditions were. tdf#123990 (Justin
    Luth, Collabora)
  * Preserve tab characters and line-breaks in cell contents. tdf#75702 (Justin
    Luth, Collabora)
  * View ▸ Freeze Cells ▸ Freeze First Column/Row now always works even when
    first row or column are not visible. tdf#112641 (Justin Luth, Collabora)

  * Paste Special of cells now remembers last used settings between sessions.
    tdf#69750 (Siddhant Chaudhary)

  * Searching for a term in the Function Wizard now matches the function
    descriptions as well as their names. tdf#146781 (Andreas Heinisch)

Default “spell out” number and currency formats

Number format dialog windows of Calc and Writer got default NatNum12 ("spell
out") format codes. tdf#115007 (László Németh, FSF.hu)

  * Spell out numbers and currencies;

  * in 71 locales of 38 languages;

  * based on libnumbertext 1.0.11;

  * NatNum12 title case is fixed for English language: lowercase “and” and
    title case “-Five” e.g. in “One U.S. Dollar and Twenty-Five Cents”.

Performance

  * Replacing strings with numbers in Calc tdf#126109 (Noel Grandin, Collabora)
  * Find and replace in very large Calc sheets tdf#150749 (Noel Grandin,
    Collabora)

Impress & Draw

  * Impress now supports cropped video for media shapes. blog post (Miklos
    Vajna, Collabora)

  * Fix bug causing EMF graphics to appear blurry. tdf#150888 (Paris Oplopoios,
    Collabora)

  * The presenter console supports running as a normal window instead of
    fullscreen, with a setting in Tools ▸ Options ▸ Impress ▸ General ▸
    Presentation (tdf#33495). This means it can be used in a single monitor
    too, sharing the presentation in a video-conferencing tool. (tdf#92717)
    (Daniel Lohmann)

  * The in-presentation pen function can be turned off with Ctrl + A (on top of
    the existing toggle Ctrl + P), which should make more presenter devices
    compatible. tdf#149351 (Gabor Kelemen, allotropia)

  * Objects can be drag-and-dropped in the navigator, allowing reordering and
    moving them in and out of groups. tdf#145359 (Jim Raykowski)

Table Design

  * Added basic support for modifying table styles, and creating new ones.
    Modified styles are saved into documents, and can be shared via templates.
    This function can be accessed by right-clicking on a design in the Table
    Design Sidebar panel. core commit f23d3, core commit 553cf, core commit
    5d683 (Maxim Monastirsky)

  * Added a new set of default table styles. core commit daab6 (Rafael Lima)

Chart

  * Data tables are now supported in Charts. See blog post for furter details
    (Tomaž Vajngerl, Collabora)

    replacement) in table of contents and hyper link text. tdf#126657, tdf#
    145104 (Khaled Hosny)

Design

  * New application and MIME type icons tdf#132398 (Galdam Jitsu)

    avoid unwanted and spurious kashida insertion. tdf#104921, tdf#87731, tdf#
    106309, tdf#108604, tdf#112849, tdf#114257, tdf#127176, tdf#145647, tdf#
    146199 (Khaled Hosny)
  * Fix kashida position when inserted after a letter with a combining mark.

    well as font metrics. tdf#103596 (Khaled Hosny, Caolán McNamara / Red Hat)
  * Use underline size and position as well as strike-through size and position
    values from the font when available core commit ba03e, and make overline
    size the same as underline size core commit 8da25. (Khaled Hosny)
  * Use the same skew angle for artificial (synthetic) italic text across
    graphics backends and PDF export. core commit f88e7 (Khaled Hosny)
  * Improve glyph positioning of artificial italic text, especially combining
    marks. core commit 1f9b2 (Khaled Hosny)

    semi-transparent shapes tdf#149800 (László Németh)

GUI

General changes

  * Support for dark and high contrast operating system themes on Windows,
    macOS and Linux was greatly improved. More than 40 bugs were fixed by
    contributors including Caolán McNamara (Red Hat), Rafael Lima, Michael
    Weghorn and Rizal Muttaqin.

  * When previewing styles in the side bar and the styles menu, use the CTL and
    Asian fonts set on the style for respective text instead of always using
    Western fonts. tdf#87535 (Khaled Hosny)

  * Remove redundant File ▸ Recent Documents menu from macOS dock icon. tdf#
    55922 (Khaled Hosny)
  * An improved version of a single toolbar user interface was implemented,
    supporting context-aware controls and their customization. It can be
    activated via View ▸ User Interface... ▸ Single Toolbar. Customization can
    be done either with a right click context menu actions, or via Tools ▸
    Customize... ▸ Toolbars, for various "Standard (Single Mode) - <context
    name>" targets. For now, context aware controls were added to Writer only.
    This largely makes the Contextual Single user interface obsolete, and it
    might be removed in future versions. tdf#125040 (Maxim Monastirsky)

  * GTK3 scrollbars now benefit from the "smooth scrolling" feature. Long-press
    on a scrollbar or use ⇧ Shift + Click for more precise scrolling. tdf#
    117388 (Caolán McNamara, Red Hat)

  * The Start Center can now filter recent documents by type. tdf#80934 (Heiko
    Tietze, TDF)

    label in the (HTML) Import Options and Text Import dialogs. tdf#138748
    (Pedro Silva, Collabora)

Font Features Dialog

The Font Features dialog (Format ▸ Character ▸ Font ▸ Features...) received
some improvements:

  * Font features that are enabled by default (e.g. Standard Ligatures) can now
    be disabled. tdf#127423 (Khaled Hosny)
  * Stylistic Sets and Character Variants features each is now grouped together
    in a separate section, so they stand out from other common font features.
    core commit 3f9a8 (Khaled Hosny)
  * Stylistic Sets and Character Variants features can have user-friendly
    labels defined in the font, these are now shown in the dialog instead of
    the generic feature names. Additionally, localized versions of these labels
    that are provided by the font are also shown when LibreOffice user
    interface is in the respective languages. core commit 19787 (Khaled Hosny)

  * Some font features can have multiple alternates, these are now supported
    for OpenType fonts as well (previously it was supported for Graphite fonts
    only). core commit 9ca3c (Khaled Hosny)

Localization

Improvements to proofing tools and language support

Dictionaries

  * Ukrainian dictionary was updated. tdf#149980 (Aron Budea, Collabora)
  * Added Persian (fa-IR) dictionary commit (Aron Budea, Collabora)
  * Slovenian thesaurus was updated (Martin Srebotnjak, OdprtiTezaver).

Language tags

  * The language list combo-box now accepts input of art-... BCP 47 private-use
    language tags like art-x-mylang or art-Latn-x-mylang (with every valid
    script subtag for Latn of course). This is an exception to the otherwise
    not accepted input of private-use subtags preventing mis-spreading
    arbitrary private-use tags, to support language attribution of artificial
    constructed languages. tdf#150370 (Eike Rathke, Red Hat)
  * Language list entries can be permanently added by dropping an
    auto-correction file acor_*.dat into the shared or user profile's autocorr/
    directory with the corresponding well-formed and valid BCP 47 language tag
    in its name. The file can be empty (0 bytes length) with no auto-correction
    data being present, data can be added and edited as usual in AutoCorrect
    Options. For example, autocorr/acor_de-DE-1901.dat will add the de-DE-1901
    tag's language entry that will be displayed as
    German (Germany, Traditional German orthography) {de-DE-1901}
    If the tag in the file name is not a well-formed BCP 47 language tag or not
    valid, it is silently ignored and no language list entry will be added. tdf
    #150371 (Eike Rathke, Red Hat)
  * For information about IETF BCP 47 language tags, see Wikipedia and W3.org

New languages/locales with locale data

Available as default document language and for locale specific formatting.

  * Portuguese (Mozambique) {pt-MZ}. tdf#148792 (Eike Rathke, Red Hat)

Currencies

  * As Croatia joins the Eurozone on the 1^st of January 2023, Croatian kuna
    (HRK) conversion to and from euro (EUR) is now supported in the EUROCONVERT
    () function, and the new default currency for Croatia is the euro. tdf#
    150011 (Eike Rathke, Red Hat)

Scripting

  * The Macro Selector dialog (Tools ▸ Macros ▸ Run Macro...) now remembers the
    last run macro (core commit 792e4 - Rafael Lima).
  * The Basic IDE now has a Zoom Slider that allow users to more easily
    increase/decrease the zoom factor applied to the code editing window. It
    can also be controlled with Ctrl + Scroll. The font size defined in the
    Options dialog (Tools ▸ Options... ▸ LibreOffice ▸ Fonts) is used as the
    100% zoom factor (core commit 0d923 - Rafael Lima).

LibreLogo

LibreLogo programming language is more usable for graphics design with the
following improvements (László Németh):

  * Up to 6 times speed increase of LABEL command by temporary layout locking
    of font settings. (Note: locking was suggested by Noel Grandin in tdf#
    105575, also he made several other performance improvements previously.)
  * Up to 32 times speed increase of drawing by custom layout locking using
    SLEEP -1 & SLEEP 0 command pairs. For example, 800 vector shapes drawn by 4
    seconds instead of more than 2 minutes (core commit e50f0)
  * LABEL command supports more HTML-like tags for formatting: localized color
    names, hundreds of OpenType and Graphite font features, font family, font
    size, strikethrough and highlighting. (core commit 43570) Note: bold,
    italic and underline formatting have been introduced by LO 7.4 in core
    commit 89c34.
  * Portable SVG export for OpenType/Graphite font features, also for rotated
    text with text portions: font features (glyphs and other settings) and
    positions of text portions are exported correctly by converting text to
    curve, as a workaround for the bugs and incompleteness of the SVG export. (
    core commit fe5cc) Test code with a rotated text containing OpenType/
    Graphite scientific inferior and red text portion:

PICTURE “test.svg” [
  LEFT 45°
  LABEL “CO<sinf>2</sinf> <red>level</red>”
]

Note: see also #SVG for SVG export which was improved during these LibreLogo
developments.

  * Fix regression of parsing of default commands in core commit 37d86.

The ScriptForge libraries

An extensible and robust collection of macro scripting resources for
LibreOffice to be invoked from user Basic or Python scripts. (Jean-Pierre
Ledure)

The libraries expose a total of 28 services each with a bunch of methods and
properties.

New in LibreOffice 7.5:

  * The (new) Datasheet service, to manage tabular views of database data. A
    datasheet may be opened from a Base window or at any moment (without the
    Base component being open). Cursor movement and current selection content
    may be processed by a user script.

  * The RunCommand() method may receive arguments (see .UNO:Commands wiki page
    ).

  * Error messages provide direct access to the help page of the failing
    method.

  * A new Normalize() method in the FileSystem service.

  * In the Calc service, new uses of the FilterFormula concept to selectively
    clear or format cells, rows or columns.

  * Support of 16,384 columns in the Calc service.

  * In the Dialog service, a new SetPageManager() method synchronizes
    automatically dropdown lists, next/previous buttons and tab headers while
    the user browses through the dialog pages.

  * A new basic.CreateUnoStruct() method for Python scripts.

The whole set of services (except when not relevant) is made available for
Python scripts with identical syntax and behaviour as in Basic.

The English version of the documentation of the ScriptForge libraries (7.5) is
fully integrated in the LibreOffice help pages (https://help.libreoffice.org/
7.5/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03/lib_ScriptForge.html?DbPAR=BASIC). Their
translation into other languages is underway. (Alain Romedenne, Rafael Lima)

LOK API

Added sending unique window id along with other data to LOK API. core commit
05a77 (Gökay Şatır, Collabora)

Feature Removal / Deprecation

  * In the SDK, the deprecated tools idlc and regmerge (using the legacy type
    registry format) have been removed in favor of unoidl-write (using the
    incompatible new type registry format internally introduced in
    LibreOffice 4.1). core commit a8485d55
  * Experimental Emoji toolbar button has been removed. Using system Emoji
    insertion tools is preferred. tdf#151197 (Khaled Hosny)
  * The following font families are no longer bundled with LibreOffice, Users
    using these fonts are advised to install them on their system:
      + EmojiOne Color tdf#144348 (Khaled Hosny)
      + Source Code Pro and Source Serif Pro. tdf#136604 (Khaled Hosny)
      + KasctBook and KacstOffice. tdf#152376 (Khaled Hosny)

Platform Compatibility

Mac

  * LibreOffice 7.5 requires macOS 10.14 or newer to run.
