    Excellent news !

    The new version now features Magic PageFlow Pro™ technologies :-), which is to say it is now no longer merely a "Wordpad"-type application but can behave similar to Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, or Libre Writer.

    It took quite a while to figure out how to accomplish this without major (or even noticeable) performance penalties.

    Maybe a new spreadsheet too ? :-)

    It's certainy been investigated especially after Leu development appears to be frozen for now.

    In fact, there is a great ready-to-use spreadsheet component with a flexible license that meets pretty much all needs I personally could ever have with regard to spreadsheet applications. However, while it does work with Wayfarer thanks to its cutting-edge Webkit engine, it is just a bit too slow as it uses the canvas element to draw everything. I would guess it might require hardware accelerated graphics operations to be reasonably fluid on the type of PowerPC hardware that MorphOS supports.

    There are alternatives that utilize standard HTML tables too. Those are quite fast but they more or less offer a similar set of features as offered by Leu.
