Upcoming BETA Releases GroupWise 8.01 (SP1)

Geplaatst op door

GroupWise 8.0.1 – which will officially release in a couple of months – builds upon the very solid release of 8.0.0. We have had significant uptake and rollout of GroupWise 8 throughout our customer base and are very confident that the rest of you – those that by policy or choice ALWAYS wait for the first support pack – will be very pleased. As you already know, GroupWise 8 has a ton of new features and functionality and now with the added bake time, stability and reliability of the support pack – there is not better time than now to empower your end-users with significant benefits of their personal productivity tool.

The overall effort of 8.0.1 was to simply fix bugs and work out issues that usually only are found during actual deployments of the product. However, there are few other benefits and added functionality that can be found with 8.0.1.

  • Unicode – The Windows Client is now fully Unicode compliant
  • Accessibility and 508 testing and bug fixing was completed
  • Improved iCal support – especially with Exchange systems
  • Windows Client additions
    • Reply from Sent Items
    • Don’t Ask me Again’ options on accepting recurring appointments with conflicts
    • Improvements to ‘Modify Recipients’ for a calendar item
    • Improvements with Teaming integrations
    • New IMAP option to eliminate strike-through on the iPhone and other IMAP clients
  • Linux Client additions
    • Vacation Rule
    • Type to create a task and sub-task management
    • Calendar Import
    • XGL support
    • GTK support
  • New Platform Support
    • SLES 11 and SLED 11
    • Windows 7
    • Internet Explorer 6 compatibility improvements
    • Internet Explorer 8
  • Support for Turkish Language

We are not planning a public BETA for 8.0.1. The Authorized BETA and internal roll out will give us enough confidence and exposure to move directly to final release. We are finishing up some localization, internationalization issues and just need some bake time and then we will move to General Availability and Release.

Geplaatst op door

OpenOffice.org Novell® Edition for Windows* is a full productivity suite which provides word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing and database capabilities. With OpenOffice.org Novell Edition for Windows, enterprises can dramatically lower costs while gaining the key functionality of Microsoft* Office and interoperability with Microsoft Office file formats.

Key Features of OpenOffice.org Novell Edition for Windows OpenOffice.org Novell Edition for Windows contains enhancements and bug fixes, especially for interoperability with Microsoft Office and other word processing programs, that are not available in the standard edition. These enhancements include:

  • Microsoft Excel*: Compatibility: Added support for multiple formula syntax for cell and cell range addresses and formula expressions: Calc A1 – the traditional format (default), Excel A1, and Excel R1C1. Text numbers and dates are interpreted as numbers or dates when appropriate, similar to how Excel interprets text as numbers or dates. OpenOffice.org Novell Edition allows toggling of cell grid lines per sheet. Also supports: user-defined tab colors, PHONETIC function support for Japanese phonetic guides, showing/hiding data from hidden rows in charts, correct rendering of charts with mixed chart types, Excel export encryption, document and sheet protection password & limited sheet protection options, external range names, and many details of the Calc user interface have been tweaked to make migration from Excel to OpenOffice.org easier.
  • Excel VBA Macro Interoperability: OpenOffice.org Novell Edition eases the migration of many macros from Microsoft Excel. Although not all macros can be successfully migrated, this interoperability offers more than the standard edition, which does not support migration of macros.
  • Data Pilots: Data Pilots are interoperable with Microsoft Office PivotTables*. OpenOffice.org Novell Edition substantially improves the Data Pilot feature, making it possible to edit pilots after creation, allowing to assign custom field names, field members names, subtotal and grand total names, showing popup window for quick editing of show/hide field members, and defaulting to a new sheet for new tables.
  • Enhanced Fonts: Licensed fonts from Agfa* Monotype* which are metrically identical and visually compatible with some of the key Microsoft fonts. This allows OpenOffice.org Novell Edition to match fonts when opening documents originally composed in Microsoft Office, and very closely match pagination and page formatting.
  • OpenXML Support: The abbility to export the Microsoft Office 2007 file formats. Also many improvments of the import.
  • EMF+Support: The ability to render EMF+ formatted graphics.
  • SVG Support: The ability to import scalable vector graphics.
