KDE's Calligra 4.0 Office/Graphics Suite Released With Improved UI & Qt6 Port

As the successor to KOffice, Calligra is KDE's office and graphics suite. Today marks the release of Calligra Office 4.0 with updates to the Words word processor, Sheets spreadsheet, Stage presentation, and Karbon vector graphics programs.

With the big version bump to Calligra 4.0, the office suite has been ported over to the Qt6 toolkit and making use of KDE Frameworks 6. There have also been some significant user interface updates with Calligra 4.0.

Calligra Office 4.0 rolls out a new sidebar design for its UI, toolbar enhancements, the settings dialogs have been cleaned up, tooltips within Calligra Slides now work on Wayland, and the Calligra launcher was redesigned.
