The release of ONLYOFFICE DocumentServer 8.3 has been published with the server implementation for ONLYOFFICE online editors and collaboration. Editors can be used to work with text documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The project code is distributed under the free license AGPLv3.
At the same time, ONLYOFFICE DesktopEditors 8.3 was released, built on a single code base with online editors. Desktop editors are designed as desktop applications written in JavaScript using web technologies, but combine client and server components in one set, designed for self-sufficient use on the user's local system, without resorting to an external service. For collaboration at your own facilities, you can also use the Nextcloud Hub platform, which provides full integration with ONLYOFFICE. Ready builds are generated for Linux, Windows and macOS.
ONLYOFFICE claims full compatibility with MS Office and OpenDocument formats. Supported formats include: DOC, DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT, PDF, HTML, EPUB, XPS, DjVu, XLS, XLSX, ODS, CSV, PPT, PPTX, ODP. It is possible to extend the functionality of the editors through plugins, for example, plugins are available for creating templates and adding YouTube videos. Ready assemblies are generated for Windows and Linux (deb and rpm packages).
