The Calligra team has released a bugfix version 2.8.2 of the Calligra Suite, and Calligra Active. This release contains a few important bug fixes to 2.8.0 and we recommend everybody to update.

Bugfixes in This Release

Here is an overview of the most important fixes. There are several others that are not mentioned here.

General

• Move Export to PDF command to the Export menu section instead of the Print section for conformance with other office suites (bug 332603).
• Fix “Missing import filter” bug when saving if not extension is specified (even if selecting a File type is set to a format) (bug 328975).
• Use native file dialogs on Windows.

Kexi

• Make Rich Text property false by default for Text Editor form widget. Rich Text often causes misbehaviour.

Krita
