ElixirOffice 0.6.2 — desktop build 27

Release cut: 2026-10-31. Update metadata must pass owner signing and public verification before publication.

What's new

• Theme gallery thumbnails in the presentation editor display again.
• CSV import keeps values that start with 0x, such as Ethereum addresses, as
  text instead of converting them to numbers.
• Arabic and other installed-font text in spreadsheets stays correct after
  scrolling or resizing.

Measured against Microsoft Word for the web, this build was compared page by page on 74 real-world reference documents. 73 of the 74 could be compared; 72 of those were strictly identical to 0.6.1. One document with Chinese text now renders its Chinese characters that 0.6.1 dropped. Its automated word-coverage score decreased from 0.75 to 0.5 because the extracted text has no spaces between blocks; the cause of the improvement is not established. One document containing CJK Extension B still fails the strict WebAssembly-only PDF check. These are measurements on that set of documents, not a claim of full Word compatibility, and no speed improvement is claimed.

AI stays optional and off by default. Sending document context requires your
configured service, consent and explicit request. Documents are not sent to the
publisher.

Qualification

The portable test suite and the Windows packaging test suite each ran 1,365 tests with 1,365 passed and none failed or skipped. The Linux packaged resource audit passed, including a new check that the theme gallery sprites are packaged.

On Apple Silicon macOS, the Darwin unit tests reported 1,365 tests: 1,296 passed, none failed and 69 were skipped. The DMG audit passed with 19,074 application entries. A packaged smoke test passed for six formats: DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS and ODP, covering open, edit, save, reopen and WebAssembly PDF.

Not passed and not claimed for this build: the unattended Mac check did not pass (a fonts assertion did not match on the attended Mac), and two native Mac interface checks, Mailings and Avenir Next, were not run. Physical printing, Gatekeeper, Intel Macs and this build on a physical Windows PC were not verified. No all-green suite, native platform acceptance, speed improvement or Office-layout equivalence is claimed.

Installation and updates

Use the package for your operating system and follow the
desktop installation instructions.
Exact download links and checksums accompany the qualified release.

Installers remain publisher-unsigned. macOS packages are arm64-only, ad-hoc
signed and not notarized; Gatekeeper may require the documented manual
approval. Update signatures authenticate update metadata and bytes; they do
not provide an OS publisher certificate. Silent updates are not available.

Known limitations

• The table page-break change was tested on Linux and in Chromium. Its effects
  on macOS, Windows and system print dialogs have not been checked separately.
  One additional Word reference could not be exported and remains unverified.
  The measured page allocations do not certify every table type, vertical
  geometry or all documents.
• Chinese, Japanese and Korean text in PDF export uses the native path only
  for the safe case (one character at a time, from the basic multilingual
  plane). Rare characters such as CJK Extension B, variation sequences and
  multi-character clusters still use the JavaScript fallback and can be missing
  from the PDF. One document with CJK Extension B still fails the strict
  WebAssembly-only PDF check; a fallback is not counted as native success.
• Additional footnote-position regression guards remain deferred; the existing
  omitted position default remains page-bottom.
• Physical printing, downloaded-installer handling, Gatekeeper and all-users
  installation require separate native checks. Package construction and source
  tests do not certify them.
• On Linux hosts that restrict unprivileged user namespaces, the AppImage can
  run without Chromium's sandbox. Prefer the DEB on affected systems.
• Long-session memory growth, Windows CPU spikes/pauses on lower-end computers,
  and the historical forced-cleanup crash remain unresolved.
• Display density can affect a spreadsheet's derived noncustom default row
  height when saving. Explicit custom heights are a separate case.
• Font substitution cannot reproduce every missing typeface or glyph. CJK
  coverage is limited to the bundled and available fonts; italic is synthesized.
• Existing conversion, PDF, ODF, embedded-object and AI tool limits remain.
  Modern LibreOffice 26.8 encrypted ODS is not supported. AI can make mistakes.

Reporting problems

Open an issue with the app
version, operating system, steps and expected/actual behavior. Prefer a small
synthetic reproducer; remove personal information, private content and API keys
before sharing attachments.
