Feature testing after UI and Feature freeze for OOo 2.3

Here are all features and enhancements, which were integrated in 2.3. All the listed issues are announced in the release notes for the developer snapshots since SRC680m200. With build SRC680m221 all features and enhancements should be integrated. This is the first build after Feature Freeze. At the end of this page you will find links to all issues from type feature and enhancement. If one of those issues isn't listed here, a feature announcement is missing or was missing before the release notes for the developer snapshots were created.

Component : dba - Database

• 45663 : Database Forms should not share their Window Size etc. with normal Writer documents
  • Description : With the integration of CWS fwkdbdesign01, database forms and reports will not share their UI configuration with text documents anymore. That is, you can have separate toolbar/menu/keyboard configurations for all three modules: forms, reports, normal text documents. Additionally, window states are also handled separately, that is, if you open a database form with a certain window size, and a certain set of opened toolbars, then those settings will not be shared with text documents anymore, but be valid for all database forms only. The same holds for database reports, of course.

• 73084 : Base, slash "/" in report name causes error message when trying to do anythign with the report..
  • Description : With the integration of CWS dba23a, database objects (queries, forms, reports) cannot contain slashes / in their name anymore. This character never reliably worked when used, and since it's used in another meaning already - separating hierarchies when you, for instance, put forms or reports into folders -, they have been completely forbidden. Every attempt to create or rename an object, giving it a name with a slash, will now be rejected with an error message. If Base reads a document which already contains such broken names, then the slashes will silently be converted to underscores _ - which implies the objects will then work, again.

• 78020 : Support merging of toolbar and menu items for add-ons
  • Description : Currently it's only possible to create top-level menus and create new toolbars. That's not enough to better integrate additional functions into OpenOffice.org. It should be possible that an add-on can seamlessly be integrated into the user interface of OpenOffice.org. This enhancement support the definition of merging command which enables users to add, exchange or remove menu or toolbar items. You can find more information about the definition and commands in the specification.

• 79170 : Change Macro Security Default Level to High
  • Description : The default Macro Security Level changed from Medium to High. The intention is to make sure people don't execute malicious macros by just clicking OK. When the Level is High, and a document with macros is not in a trusted location (there is no such location per default), and the macros are not signed, the only way to execute the macro is to change the security level back to medium or low. But this is not a single click action in the macro warning, so people will think more carefully before doing so.

• 32342 : Matrix/array constants as a parameter
  • Description : Calc now supports inline matrix/array constants in formulas. An inline array is surrounded by curly braces '{' and '}'. Elements can be each a number (including negatives), a logical constant (TRUE, FALSE) or a literal string. Non-constant expressions are not allowed. Arrays can be entered with one or more rows, and one or more columns. All rows must consist of the same number of elements, all columns must consist of the same number of elements, so that a two-dimensional array has no sparse elements. The column separator (separating elements in one row) is the ';' semicolon, the row separator is a '|' pipe symbol. They were chosen because the upcoming ODF formula specification uses these separators. Contrary to Excel, the separators are not UI-version and/or locale dependent. Arrays can not be nested. Import/export from/to Excel are implemented.

• 1761 : Zoom should align to center, not left
  • Description : From mmp's short spec as issue comment: If the horizontal scrollbar has nothing to do then the pages will be centered in the window. Otherwise we keep the behavior from previous OOo versions (ZoomIn bahaviour will not be changed.) The center of the pages is defined by the half width of the widest page of the document (pages can also be in landscape orientation, right?). Then all pages are aligned to the left border of the widest page.

• 55007 : Update charts in writer should be automatic, or at least more accessible
  • Description : The checkbox in the dialog "Tools/Options/Star Office Writer/General" named "Charts" is now indented the same level as the "Fields" box. Also enabling/disabling the "Field" box does not have an effect on the "Chart" box anymore. Thus toggling of automatic updates for charts is now fully a flag on it's own. If that flag is set and changes to a table cell (with a chart attached) are made the chart will be updated a moment after the cursor leaves the current cell. And this is right after the formula fields in a table got updated. Thus chart will get the correct value for every field. Previously the chart was only updated if cells/rows/columns got deleted/inserted or if a cell changed that was used in a formula field of another cell. Now all changes to a cells content will trigger the automatic update for the chart object if the cursor leaves the cell.

• 73173 : Integate SoC project languageguessing
  • Description : With this CWS the Writer is capable of guessng the language of unknown text. The functionality is implemented in the context menu of misspelled words. The language of the word is still guessed by the old algorithm (using the spell checker) and the one for the paragraph is now obtained with the language guessing algorithm. If only one of them does not return a result it is set to the same language as the other one.

• 75146 : separate UI/configuration of XML Form Documents from Writer
  • Description : With the integration of CWS fwkdbdesign01, XML form documents will not share their UI configuration with text documents anymore. That is, you can have separate toolbar/menu/keyboard configurations for text documents and XML form documents. Additionally, window states are also handled separately, that is, if you open an XML form document with a certain window size, and a certain set of opened toolbars, then those settings will not be shared with text documents anymore, but be valid for all XML form documents only.

  • Description : The ODF 1.1 allows the export of soft page breaks. A soft page break is a page break that has been inserted by a page oriented processor like Writer at a position where the document itself does not include a page break (e.g. paragraph attribute page break before/after). The soft page break information is for the purposes of consistent page breaks and for proper conversion to digital talking book formats.
