 +
Here all new features are listed, which have been integrated between 2.0.4 and 2.1 (current available build is src680_m188). All these issues have been announced in release notes for the build on OOo. Test cases specifications should be added to the feature issue.

<h2>Component API :</h2>
 +
* [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65548 65548] : Access to the embedding API.
 +
** Description : The embedding API can now be accessed in the following ways: - in graphical layer applications the related XShape implementation can be asked for the property "EmbeddedObject" - in writer the related TextEmbeddedObject object implements now com::sun::star::document::XEmbeddedObjectSupplier2 interface that can be used to retrieve the embedded object.

<h2>Component DBA :</h2>
 +
* [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=42048 42048] : for MSA databases, system tables are hidden
 +
** Description : When you access Microsoft Access databases (.mdb) in OpenOffice.org Base, you previously saw all system tables (named MSys). They only cluttered the table list, since you were not even able to view their data. Thus, those tables are now not visible anymore.

* [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=54504 54504] : accessing database registrations from inside the data source browser
 +
** Description : With the integration of CWS dba30, it will be possible to access database registrations (as found in Tools|Options|OpenOffice.org Base|Databases) from inside the data source browser (the thingie which opens when you press F4 in a text document). For this, there's an entry "Database Registrations..." in the context menu of the left hand side tree control in the data source browser. Selecting it opens a dialog which contains exactly the same functionality as the above-mentioned options page.

* [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67662 67662] : "Vertical Alignment" property for radio buttons, check boxes, push buttons, fixed texts
 +
** Description : Certain form controls, namely radio buttons, check boxes, push buttons, and fixed texts, now support a property "Vert. Alignment", which controls the vertical alignment of the text on the control. Pretty similar to the normal "Alignment" property which controls the horizontal alignment, the options are "Default", "Top", "Middle", "Bottom", where "Default" effectively maps to one of the other three, depending on the concrete control type.

* [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69696 69696] : new icons for TEXT TABLEs in embedded HSQL databases
 +
** Description : In business processes, it's often necessary to exchange data between completely different applications. One common, widely-used, simple file-based format is CSV: text files containing multiple rows of homogenous data.

<h2>Component Framework :</h2>
 +
* [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=68684 68684] : The iconified embedded objects are supported now by framework and file format.
 +
** Description : In some competitor applications, that are able to contain an embedded document, it is possible to have an iconified object embedded in the document. The difference of the iconified object from a normal embedded object is that it has an icon as graphic replacement in the document and it can never be activated In-Place.

* [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69163 69163] : Extension Version Handling
 +
** Description : Extensions are often improved over time. That is, publishers want to ship new versions of the same extension with added functionality and/or bug fixes. Adding a version field to .oxt extensions allows publishers to ship new versions, and allows OpenOffice.org to detect and handle the case that an extension installed by the user is an update of an existing extensions.

* [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69938 69938] : new 'enable update check' page in first start wizard
 +
** Description : Due to the change of the setup process in OpenOffice.org 2.0 / StarOffice 8, the migration of user settings can no longer be done as part of the setup. Furthermore, whoever wanted to migrate any settings had to do this by writing a special setup plugin. The migration process will now be done when the office is first started. It should be easy to define items that are to be migrated.

Feature testing after UI and Feature freeze for OOo 2.1

Here all new features are listed, which have been integrated between 2.0.4 and 2.1 (current available build is src680_m188). All these issues have been announced in release notes for the build on OOo. Test cases specifications should be added to the feature issue. The links in the specifications are linked to Sun internal places, until it is defined, where Test case specification documents should be stored on OOo. Most test case specifications are added to the issues.
