#VISIO FOR MAC LIBREOFFICE GENERATOR#

In the same way as libwps, libmwaw reuses libwpd's interfaces and the ODF generator classes in libodfgen in order to convert its callbacks into an xml stream in flat ODF file-format. The horsepower doing the conversions, libmwaw is one of the libraries from the libwpd family.

This particular improvement was possible thank to the integration of libmwaw written by Laurent Alonso, LibreOffice contributor and already co-maintainer of libwps and of the Microsoft Works import filter inside LibreOffice. This is a result of a continuous effort to open as many legacy file-formats as possible to our users, and help them to settle for ODF. With the up-coming new release, LibreOffice extends support for a host of pre-OSX MAC text formats.

Second, with the advent of Microsoft Office 2013 and change in the Visio 2013 file-format, LibreOffice extended the coverage of Visio file-format to all files any version of Visio ever produced. Vincent produced the first ever possibility of reading Microsoft Publisher files in the FLOSS world. First, the fruitful collaboration of re-lab's Valek Filippov with (then GSoC student and now employee) Brennan T. The latest major release of LibreOffice was also full of goodies. LibreOffice 3.6 was able to claim the most comprehensive coverage of CorelDraw file-format with the ability to open even the oldest CorelDraw 1 and 2 files that modern versions of CorelDraw are not able to open any more. In a collaboration with re-lab's Valek Filippov and (then GSoC student and now Lanedo's LibreOffice developer) Eilidh McAdam, LibreOffice 3.5 brought the possibility to open and see the most commonly used Visio files to the FLOSS world. Attentive reader of this blog remembers that, besides improvements in the most frequently used file-formats, each major release of LibreOffice adds to the list of document file-formats that are freed from the dungeon of vendor lock.
