help added to the editor
ICE detects version of OpenOffice.org to use for the given operating system.
~ (tilde) can be used to set the users home directory.
no need to restart ICE after saving changes.
Rendering improvements
Since ICE is now using an event-based, SAX approach in Python to render the HTML as apposed to the XSLT approach, as a result performance has improved and the following improvements have been made:
Tables on list styles supported
table following a blockquote style supported
lists inside definition lists supported
tables in slides supported
the fault with pre-formatted text not rendering return characters correctly resolved
non breaking spaces added to empty table cells as the CSS for this is not yet fully supported (this can be over written)
links to bookmark can be automatically turned into page references for Books
images are not resized if within 10% of the actual inserted image (this was implement to resolve OOo getting the image size wrong)
Book rendering copy and paste method dropped in favor of using the file insert method
MathType objects now supported in Books
low quality images are converted to jpgs for the web before being resized, this is to avoid loss of quality - NEW (1.2 RC2)
documents can start on either an odd or even page for Books - NEW (1.2 RC2)
books always end on an even page - NEW (1.2 final)
HTML render uses the native word processor bold and italic character formatting, for example bold is transformed into the HTML element b - NEW (1.2 final)
File manager improvements
Files ICE knows about are opened using the operating systems default editor.
ICE opens the directory if it doesn't know the file type.
Other changes
IMS manifest.xml file renamed to imsmanifest.xml for the zipped package export.
Files in the root media folder within a package are not added to the navigation (useful for multi-media files like Breeze).
Known resolved bugs
Fixed in ICE 1.2 RC2
Resized images not exporting.
Fixed in ICE 1.2 Final
Files with the status "added" can't be moved/renamed.
