== Writer == <!--T:6-->

<!--T:169-->
* Reimplementation of hiding tracked changes: {{bc|Edit|Track Changes|Show}} no longer severely impacts performance in documents with many tracked changes. The document view is now capable of hiding the tracked changes, so they do not have to be rearranged in the document model to be hidden. The dialog advising users of the performance impact has been removed {{tdf|113479}} (Michael Stahl - CIB)

<!--T:7-->
* Native copy & paste of spreadsheet data in Writer tables. {{tdf|37223}} (László Németh – NISZ) Previously, you could paste a copied table as image, object, plain text, and as RTF; the latter resulting in a ''new'' table in Writer. In 6.2 you can paste directly in an existing table.

</gallery>

<!--T:86-->
* Remove CopyGraphic {{tdf|105262}} (Xisco Faulí)
* Previous table-size actions were distribute column/row size equally and optimize (which acted like minimize), so a true minimize action was added and optimize was changed. ''Optimize row'' now acts similar to distribute where each row is given the same height based on the tallest row. Optimize, however, is based on the '''minimum''' height of the row with the most content. In addition, optimize ensures that the table size will not shrink (but it will grow if necessary).  ''Optimize column'' now acts like minimize except that the width of the table will not change. Any leftover space is distributed proportionately, with thin columns growing slightly, and wide columns growing much wider. {{tdf|64242}} (Justin Luth, SIL)
* Advanced menus to add/modify header/footer menus can be disabled now at {{bc|Insert|Header and Footer|Use header/footer menu}} (enabled by default) {{tdf|118621}} (Heiko Tietze)
* UTF-8 and UTF-16-encoded text may now be saved without {{Wikipedia|Byte order mark|BOM}}. {{tdf|44291}} (Martin van Zijl)
:The option is available from GUI (using '''Text - Choose Encoding (.txt)''' export filter in '''Save As''' dialog with '''Edit filter settings''' checked), in the filter settings dialog:
::
<gallery mode="packed" heights="189px">
File:ASCIIFilterDialogBOMOption.png|ASCII Filter dialog BOM option
</gallery>
:as well as from command line, as in
::<code>soffice --convert-to \"txt:Text (encoded):UTF8,CR,,,false\" *.doc</code>
:where "UTF8" is the text encoding; "CR" is line ending setting (also "LF" and "CRLF" are valid options); third and fourth empty parameters are unused for export; and "false" is to suppress output of BOM ("true" is the default to output the BOM).

<!--T:76-->
* HTML export has an opt-in mode to write the ReqIF subset of XHTML [https://vmiklos.hu/blog/reqif-xhtml.html blog post] (Miklos Vajna - Collabora)
* Various small UNO API improvements [https://vmiklos.hu/blog/uno-api-improvements.html blog post] (Miklos Vajna - Collabora)

* Autocorrect capitalization of the English <i>i'm</i> → <i>I’m</i>, <i>i'll</i> to <i>I’ll</i> etc.: now correction of the ASCII quotation mark to the typographical one (’) capitalizes the preceding single lowercase i, too, as in MSO, if the  language of the text is English. {{tdf|108423}} (László Németh – NISZ) ( Since LibreOffice 6.2.4 )
* AutoCorrect English word i' -> I’ using capitalization and replacing the ASCII apostrophe {{tdf|108423}} (László Németh, NISZ) ( Since LibreOffice 6.2.4 )

== Calc == <!--T:8-->

<!--T:9-->
* [[Special:MyLanguage/ReleaseNotes/6.1#Signature_Lines|Signature Lines]] are now available in Calc too (Samuel Mehrbrodt, CIB) {{tdf|117903}}
* Data Validation now supports custom formulas (Marco Cecchetti - Collabora) {{tdf|96698}}
* Now it is possible to do multivariate regression analysis using the regression tool ({{bc|Data|Statistics|Regression}}). In addition, many more statistical measures are now available in the analysis output. For example, it shows confidence intervals for all the estimated parameters. (Dennis Francis - Collabora) {{tdf|109042}} {{tdf|114092}} [https://dennisfrancis.wordpress.com/2018/07/03/multivariate-regression-in-calc/ blog entry]

== Feature removal / deprecation == <!--T:34-->

=== General === <!--T:35-->

<!--T:60-->
The KDE4 VCL backend is deprecated and will be removed in the next version.

<!--T:46-->
The GTK+2 VCL backend is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.

== Platform Compatibility == <!--T:36-->

=== Mac === <!--T:37-->

<!--T:73-->
Version 6.2 requires at least macOS 10.9. The next version will require at least macOS 10.10.

=== Windows === <!--T:38-->

<!--T:79-->
- Digital signing now uses the CNG API instead of legacy CryptoAPI, finally allowing usage of ECDSA keys on Windows [https://vmiklos.hu/blog/xmlsec-cng-ecsa.html blog post] (Miklos Vajna - Collabora)

=== Linux === <!--T:39-->

<!--T:55-->
Binary Linux x86 (32-bit) releases will be demoted. There will be no Linux x86 builds produced by TDF after 6.2. This does not mean that Linux x86 compatibility will be removed.

==== KDE 5 + Qt5 ==== <!--T:51-->

<!--T:52-->
Two new VCL plugins (''qt5'' and ''kde5'') have been implemented (with the KDE5 plugin extending the Qt5 one) to provide integration into KDE Plasma 5 and other Qt5-based desktop environments, mainly implemented by Katarína Behrens (CIB) and Jan-Marek Glogowski (City of Munich).

<!--T:80-->
If the ''kde5'' and the ''gtk3_kde5'' plugins are installed, the desktop detection will now prefer the ''kde5'' one. The ''qt5'' plugin must be explicitly selected via ''SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5'', as it's never selected automatically.

<!--T:81-->
Currently implemented features include:
* Native widget rendering
* Native Plasma file and folder picker
* Native menus including Plasma global menu integration
* Dual screen support
</translate>
<translate>
<!--T:61-->
* System clipboard integration
* Basic native drag'n'drop 
* Basic accessibility support (Samuel Mehrbrodt, CIB)

<!--T:82-->
Bugs and missing features are tracked via the KDE meta bug {{tdf|102495}}.

<!--T:83-->
Technical note: The ''qt5'' plugin implements two rendering paths: an experimental QPainter based one and the Cairo based one, which is also used by all other Unix plugins. The ''kde5'' plugin uses only the Cairo rendering path. The ''qt5'' plugin defaults to the QPainter rendering path, but it's possible to force the Cairo path using the environment variable SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO.
