Revision as of 19:36, 16 January 2009

Here are the features and enhancements, which were integrated in OOo 3.1. All the listed issues are announced in the release notes for the developer snapshots since DEV300m29 - build ID 9339 - to DEV300mX. These list is more technical orientated and isn't a release note for OOo 3.1. This list could and should be used for testing and checking the new features in general or for translation purposes.

What's new ?

Component : Chart




Component : Drawing

  • 28526 : Allow anti-aliasing of drawing objects


  • 89661 : Giving text objects a discernible selection border
    • Description : Text objects are extremely hard to move with the mouse, as a four-pixel wide invisible line has to be hit - even harder, when they are rotated. Based on a patch provided by THB which needed quite some tweaks, text objects from DrawingLayer now use the same hatched border as during edit mode. This also expands the hit area for selecting a text object. Thus, two goals are targeted here for software ergonomic: ...
    • Feature Announcement : http://graphics.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=214
    • Specification : http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=89661
    • Test case specification :
    • CWS : aw058 integrated in DEV300m36


  • 95646 : Unify DrawObject modification with full attributes
    • Description : Unify DrawObject modification with full attributes. Interaction with DrawObjects will now show enhanced interaction visualization to provide an ergonomically better feedback for the user. Instead of wire frame visualization there will now be shown a transparent interaction preview on top of the current display whenever possible. This will be the defualt from now. This will work an all Applications using Drawing Objects from the DrawingLayer. This is done for Object Creation and for all Object Modifications (Move, scale, shear, mirror, distort, etc...). ...
    • Feature Announcement : http://graphics.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=216
    • Specification : http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/drawing_layer/SolidDragging.odt
    • Test case specification :
    • CWS : aw058 integrated in DEV300m36


Component : Database Access (Base)



  • 41897 : [RFE] store URLs of file-based databases relatively
    • Description : At the moment, when you create a file-based database (such as dBase or Spreadsheet), the URL to the files (let's call it the "data URL") is stored in an absolute manner - that is, something like "file:///c:/foo/bar". As a result, when you move the database document (the .odb file), together with the underlying data, to another machine, you need to either duplicate the file

structure on this target machine, or to adjust the settings for the database.


  • 44447 : Relationships window not detecting changes to tables made in another window
    • Description : The relation design now detects when a new table will be added and also when new columns will be added. The "Add Table" dialog also gets notified when a new table was added.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=228
    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31b integrated in DEV300m33


  • 51517 : AutoValue are always made primary keys
    • Description : This is specific for hsqldb only. When the user adds a auto increment column this one gets automatically the primary key of the table. When the user after wards removes the primary key flag, then the auto-increment flag will also be removed. Hsqldb only supports one auto increment column which then must also be the only primary key column.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=229
    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31b integrated in DEV300m33


  • 66628 : [RFE] forms should have a possibility to selectively reload list boxes
    • Description : In the form navigation toolbar (the one used as soon as you have an alive form filled from a database), there's a new item, called "Refresh Control", located right after the "Refresh" item. ...
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=224
    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31a integrated in DEV300m30


  • 80200 : RPT: Make it possible to mark only textboxes


  • 81899 : Allow system-wide configuration of JDBC classes
    • Description : There's a new setting in the org.openoffice.Office.DataAccess configuration module which allows to specify, on a per-driver basis, a classpath to use when searching for a JDBC driver.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=225
    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31a integrated in DEV300m30


  • 81028 : Query designer does not recognize abbreviated syntax for TRIM command


  • 87192 : Opening a view 'Edit in SQL view' should set 'Escape processing' to false
    • Description : When you open an table view for editing its constituting SQL command (which is a feature currently supported for embedded HSQLDB only), then the query editor is automatically put into the "Run SQL command directly" mode.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=237
    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31e integrated in DEV300m37


  • 89456 : Relationships tool should allow the creation self referencing relations


  • 90403 : Textbox controls ignore "Empty string is NULL" property when field is required
    • Description : In the course of fixing issue 90403 and issue 92471, the behavior of form controls whose "Empty string is NULL" property is set to "Yes" has been refined. This change might make existing forms behave slightly different than before, but certainly more expectation-conformant now. ...
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=241
    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31e integrated in DEV300m37


  • 91208 : parameters not recognized in function argument list
    • Description : With the integration of CWS dba31a, OOo's parser will have the ability to recognize parameters in function argument lists. That is, a query like SELECT CONCAT( :C, "name" ) FROM "name" will now, when executed, properly present the dialog asking the user for parameter value input.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=226
    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31a integrated in DEV300m30


  • 91223 : RFE: allow (yet) more convenient access in (Basic) code to open a form/report
    • Description : (Strictly, this is an "API client feature announcement", but we don't have a features@api.openoffice.org, do we?) Programmatic access to forms/reports contained in database documents is (with the integration of CWS dba31a) easier than ever before: ThisDatabaseDocument.FormComponents.getByName( "form name" ).open will open the form "form name" in the very same way a double-click onto the form in the document UI would do, i.e. doing all the proper knittings to the document UI.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=227
    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31a integrated in DEV300m30


  • 91310 : Linking of images in image controls, rather than embedding them into the database
    • Description : Image controls in database forms can now be bound to text columns. Formerly, you could only bind them to columns whose content could reasonably be interpreted as binary (BLOB etc.). Now, when you select a text database column as source for the image control, then it will interpret the content of the respective column's content as URL, and load and display the image pointed to by this URL. Also, the URL might be relative to the document which the image control is embedded into.

    • CWS : dba31e integrated in DEV300m37


  • 92322 : FormsCheckRequiredFields should be available on a per field basis


  • 93264 : allow images in image controls to keep their aspect ratio when scaled
    • Description : Image form controls in documents got an additional mode for scaling the image they display. Previously, you could control the scaling by setting the "Scale" property to "Yes" or "No" only, where "Yes" implied an anisotropic scaling, i.e. one which distorted the image's dimensions. ...

    • Specification : --
    • Test case specification : --
    • CWS : dba31e integrated in DEV300m37


  • 93457 : allow a "Tristate" property for check box grid columns, and set it to "No" upon creating a check box for a required field
    • Description : Check box columns in grid controls now have the "Tristate" property, which controls whether or not the "indetermined" state is allowed for the check box, as known from ordinary check box form controls.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=235

  • 96520 : RPT: "Add Field" window should have an "Insert" button at the bottom
    • Description : The Add Field dialog now has a toolbar above the listbox for the fields. The toolbar allows to sort the fields ascending and descending as well to remove the sort order and restore origin order from the source (table,query). Additional the toolbar contains an "Insert" entry which allows to insert the selected fields into a report section. Multiselection of fields is also supported.
