|  | LibreOffice 24.8 software is a complete, feature-rich
              office productivity suite that provides, in combination with this
			  SDK, all the essential tools for building and deploying custom
			  solutions that build on, or integrate with, the LibreOffice 24.8 suite
			  of products. The SDK is a development kit for LibreOffice 24.8, which
			  eases the development of office components. It provides a set of
			  libraries, binaries, header, and IDL files which have final API's
			  and can only be extended with new functionality. This set of libraries
			  and binaries is the minimum set of functions needed to use system
			  abstraction for base functionality and for using UNO (Universal
			  Network Objects) component technology. The UNO component model is the
			  base of the whole Office API. The SDK provides everything necessary
			  to use the Office API from external programs (e.g. Java, C++) or to
			  extend the Office functionality with new components (e.g. new filter
			  components, CalcAddin functions). It is compatible over several
			  versions because the API remains unaffected and will only be extended
			  with new functions. The SDK provides the basic building blocks for external developers
			  to develop components in any language for which a binding exists.
			  Currently, there are language bindings for LibreOffice 24.8 Basic, Java, Python,
			  and different C++ compilers on different platforms, for LibreOffice 24.8,
			  thus covering the most commonly used programming languages. There
			  will be no limit for office automation in heterogeneous environments.
			  Currently supported platforms of the SDK are Linux, Solaris (sparc,
			  x86), and Windows. The SDK also contains  reference documentation
              for the API and a complete Developer's Guide is available online in TDF Wiki, with
			  lots of examples, which introduce the API, explain the concepts behind
			  it, and make it possible for all users to quickly get started with
			  the Office API. |  |
