“The KOffice development team has announced version
2.1.0 six months after the 2.0.0 “platform release” which was
intended for developers.

“According to the developers, 2.1 brings new features and
general improvements in the maturity of the individual
applications, however, not all applications in the suite are
considered ready for everyday use.

“”Import and export of foreign file formats have been given an
overhaul, and especially the import filters for Microsoft
PowerPoint and Word [documents] have been much improved,” say the
developers.

“This import filter work is the result of the collaboration with
Nokia for its n900 smartphone Office viewers.”
