1. Release Notes
Release date: 2020-05-08
1.1 New features
Responsive Email Editor ('REE') - New wizard for dynamic links, buttons and images (LG-2184 & LG-2485)
The Sketch Responsive Email Editor is the part of the Smart Documents solution that allows users to create HTML email messages that combine responsiveness and HTML standards on the one hand, with Smart Documents logic and dynamics on the other hand.
In Smart Documents 6.4 we are introducing a new and enhanced way to add hyperlinks, buttons and images to your messages through a Link Wizard. The Link Wizard allows you to do the following actions:
Select to display a hyperlink as a URL or to replace it with text
Select whether the text to display should be static or variable
Insert a button containing static or variable text, or a hyperlink
Use the HTML title attribute with static or variable content
Select the action upon clicking on a link or button (same or new window)
Format links and buttons
Insert images based on a static path or a variable path.
(This last action is a newly added feature in 6.4. Users will be able to link a variable to an image in the mail editor, which makes this the REE equivalent of the Dynamic Image model editor.)
The Link Wizard is opened upon clicking the following button: 
Example views of some of the options in the Link Wizard:
Note: The ‘variable link’ and ‘link button’ buttons are removed from the editor menu bar. Both functionalities can now be evoked using the abovementioned Link Wizard.
1.2 Improvements
Sketch - Upgrade to LibreOffice 6.3.4 for built-in implementation (LG-2540)
The Sketch document editor integrates LibreOffice to provide the word processing tools that make it a versatile document editing tool.
With Smart Documents 6.4 we are upgrading to LibreOffice 6.3.4, which is the latest hotfix version. No extra measures are needed, LibreOffice is integrated in the Sketch installation.
Note: since a new LibreOffice version will be used, it is recommended to reset your LibreOffice user profile. To do so, right-click the Sketch icon in the system tray and select LibreOffice > Terminate & Reset user profile. This restarts LibreOffice and restores the default settings. Note that personal settings in LibreOffice need to be re-entered (such as personalized units, colors, etc.)

Sketch - New default for decimal formatting for specific LGM languages (LG-2548)
To facilitate the creation of language models for all users internationally, the default decimal formatting for numeric variables will follow the ‘European’ standard:
‘.’ as thousands separator and ‘,’ as decimal separator.
