ElixirOffice 0.6.4 — desktop build 31
Fixes release. Release cut: 2026-11-05. Update metadata is signed and was publicly verified before publication.
What's new
- Equations written in Cambria Math now show their letters: they use a math font (STIX Two
Math when installed, otherwise the bundled DejaVu Math TeX Gyre) instead of a
text font without math glyphs (#56). - Presenter View opens its presenter window instead of an empty window (#48).
- Pictures copied from a web page can be pasted. The app downloads each picture
once and stores it in the document like a picture inserted from a file; the web
address is never used to display it. Downloads use a separate session without
cookies, never reach local network addresses, and accept pictures up to 20 MB
(#55). Some sites refuse such downloads; the app then shows a message. - The Draw tab sits after Insert, as in Word (#52).
- Spreadsheet PDF export keeps large sheets at their normal scale instead of
shrinking them to a single page. - Spreadsheets open with less data: a font is no longer downloaded for invisible
control characters.
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 1,367
tests with 1,367 passed and none failed or skipped.
On Apple Silicon macOS, the Darwin unit tests reported 1,367 tests: 1,298 passed,
none failed and 69 were skipped. The DMG audit passed with 19,105 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. In the packaged
macOS app, Presenter View opened its presenter window, a picture pasted from a web
page was stored in the presentation, and Cambria Math resolved to a math font.
Not run for this build: the unattended Mac check (a fonts assertion does not
match on an attended Mac) and the native Mac Mailings and Avenir Next interface
checks. 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
- Chinese, Japanese and Korean text in PDF export uses the native path only
for the safe case; rare characters such as CJK Extension B can still be
missing from the PDF. - Physical printing, downloaded-installer handling, Gatekeeper and all-users
installation require separate native checks. - On Linux hosts that restrict unprivileged user namespaces, the AppImage can
run without the Chromium sandbox. Prefer the DEB on affected systems. - Long-session memory growth and Windows CPU spikes on lower-end computers
remain unresolved. - Font substitution cannot reproduce every missing typeface or glyph.
- Existing conversion, PDF, ODF, embedded-object and AI tool limits remain.
AI can make mistakes.
