As of yesterday :), the koffice module is half-frozen: no new features to
be checked in, bugfixes commits only.
The plan is to package it as koffice-1.1-beta1 on Wednesday 18.
Below is a summary of the release schedule available at
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/koffice-1.1-release-plan.html
-----------------------------------
KOffice 1.1 Release Plan
The following is the outline for our KOffice 1.1 release schedule.
The 1.1 release will come with major improvements in the following areas:
- Many features added to KSpread and KPresenter
- Improve speed and usability of KIllustrator
- Rewrite of KWord, now using Qt's richtext engine
- Much improved mathematical formula support
- Addition of Kivio (Flowcharting program)
- Addition of Kugar (Database report creation)
- Many new filters: Applixware import, Abiword import, RTF, Docbook export,
LaTeX export, etc.
- Improvements to the existing filters, especially the MSOffice import filters
KOffice 1.1 will be released independently from KDE 2.2.

-------------------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions
Which version of Qt is required ?
Qt 2.2.4 or later
Which version of kdelibs is required ?
kdelibs 2.1.2 will be required by the final KOffice 1.1.
kdelibs 2.1 and 2.1.1 will work too, but lead to bugs when using the font
anti-aliasing, and to crashes when splitting views. You've been warned :)
Using kdelibs-2.2-beta when compiling koffice gives access to a few
additional features, such as improved printing support (kdeprint) and a
scanner plugin. This is not required.
---------------------------------------------
Still to be determined :
* should Krayon be part of KOffice-1.1 ?
Any Krayon developer around ? :)
* is there any plans for an application which creates the XML templates
used by Kugar ? As it is now, this application isn't very user friendly (IMHO)
