Here are a list of features and enhancements, which are integrated in OOo 3.2. All the listed issues are announced in the release notes for the developer snapshots since DEV300m41 - to DEV300mX. This list is more technically orientated and isn't a release note for OOo 3.2. This list could and should be used for testing and checking the new features in general or for translation purposes.

  • 88878 : new form control property: "Visible"
    • Description : The new boolean property "Visible" has been added to all form control types (except the "Hidden control", which has no visual representation in the document, anyway). This property controls whether or not the control shall be visible in alive mode. ... (see more details in the feature announcement)

    • CWS : dba32c integrated in DEV300m52


  • 89821 : multi-line text form controls preserving their selection
    • Description : Multi-line text controls in forms now preserve their selection when losing and re-gaining the focus, making text exchange (like multiple cut'n'pastes) somewhat easier this way.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=254
    • Specification : - -
    • Test case specification : - -
    • CWS : dba32a integrated in DEV300m47


  • 95963 : human-readable event bindings in the property browser
    • Description : The event bindings in the form/control property browser are now somewhat more human readable, in that a binding formerly displayed as vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.Module1.Main?language=Basic& location=application now is displayed as Standard.Module1.Main (application, Basic)

  • 95977 : event assignments in the property browser can be reset with DEL key
    • Description : In the form/control property browser, event assignments can be reset using the DEL key. That is, the read-only input field which is to display (but not modify) the event assignment now at least accepts DEL, completely revoking the assignment for the given event.

    • Test case specification : - -
    • CWS : dba32a integrated in DEV300m47


  • 96429 : property browser: mouse-selection-behavior in property combo boxes changed
    • Description : In the property browser, for properties displayed using a combo box (so you can enter free text, but select from a pre-defined list of possible options as well), the behavior for mouse selections changed: Formerly, when you selected an entry from the list, you needed to focus another cell somewhere else before the changed value was committed (even though it was already entered into the text field). Now, the property value is committed already when you select the entry from the list, which makes the work flow somewhat smoother in many cases.

    • CWS : dba32a integrated in DEV300m47




  • 97356 : button control properties: renamed the action-related events
    • Description : Form control buttons feature two events which are fired when the button is pressed, one to veto the actual firing, and one to do an actual action associated with the button. Formerly, they were called "Before commencing" and "When initiating", and as such a constant source of confusion, since it was non-obvious which event to use for which purpose. This situation hopefully improved a little bit with renaming the events (in the property browser) to "Approve action" and "Execute action".

  • 99056 : form control property browser: added Position, Size, and Anchor
    • Description : In the property browser for form controls, you can now also change the position and size of the control, as well as its anchor (in document types where anchoring is supported, e.g. text docs and spreadsheets). This is especially useful when you want to modify the geometry of multiple controls at once, which previously required invocation of a modal dialog for every control, and now can be done by selecting all controls, and simply entering the new value(s) in the property browser.
    • Feature Announcement : http://dba.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=features&msgNo=265

  • 99422 : font name/style/size displayed in form control property browser
    • Description : When displaying the properties of a form control in the property browser, the "Font" property will now display the name, the style (regular, bold, italic) and the size of the current control font. (previously the respective field was simply empty, and the font could only be seen when opening the Character Set dialog.)

  • 101587 : Use the configuration to describe database drivers
    • Description : Currently the db drivers are hard coded in OOo. The integration of new ones as extension isn't possible. Therefor all drivers have to bring their own configuration with them. Each driver has to define: ... (see details in the feature announcement)

Component : Formula Editor / Math


Component : Framework

  • 4756 : Keyboard shortcut configuration dialog now supports "ALT" modifier
    • Description : Though the configuration itself was able to handle it all the time, the dialog for configuring keyboard shorcuts never allowed to use the ALT-key. Now ALT as well als SHIFT-ALT, CTRL-ALT, SHIFT-CTRL-ALT modifiers can be used in the dialog. The dialog does not check if a shortcut can be used or if the system already catches it. The easiest way to find out if the shortcut is usable is to use it to navigate to the corresponding entry in the listbox before trying to assign a command to it.

    • CWS : mba32issues01 integrated in DEV300m48


  • 69129 : Graphite Font Support
    • Description : Graphite fonts are truetype fonts with extra tables which contain information for complex rendering such as context specific reordering, shaping and positioning. Unlike OpenType, the rendering engine does not need any prior knowledge of the script, the rendering rules are all contained in the font itself. This makes it ideal for scripts and languages which are not directly supported in Uniscribe or ICU. Graphite also supports font features which allow variations in rendering to be selected according to linguistic or personal preference. ...

  • 88878 : Basic dialog controls: new property "Visible"
    • Description : The new boolean property "Visible" has been added to all UNO dialog control types. This property controls whether or not the control shall be visible in the living dialog. Note that if this property is set to "Yes" (the default, mimicking the behavior as known up to 3.1), this not necessarily means the control will really appear in the dialog. Additional constraints are applied when calculating a control's effective visibility. For instance, a control belonging to a non-current step of the dialog is still hidden. OpenOffice.org versions up to OOo 3.1 will silently ignore this property when reading UNO dialogs which make use of it.

  • 100123 : Allow to turn off lock-file base document file locking.
    • Description : To work properly, the lock-file based document file locking in OOo needs the possibility to create a lock file in the way that it does not replace the existing one and to remove it. Although normally there are possibilities to do it, sometimes this is not the case. ... (see more details in the feature announcement)

    • Description : The "Conditional Formatting" dialog now has a button "New Style" next to each style list box. Pressing one of the buttons opens the "Cell Style" dialog for a new style, and if OK is pressed there, selects the new style in the list box. This allows to create a new style without closing the "Conditional Formatting" dialog.

  • 35913 : Transporting newlines in spreadsheet formulas
    • Description : Newline characters (0x0A, decimal 10) created with Control+Enter in multiline text cells are now preserved in spreadsheet formulas. Previously the newline character was replaced by a space character. The newline character can be searched for using the SEARCH or [HV]LOOKUP or MATCH functions with the \n regular expression. A newline character can be inserted in a formula using the CHAR(10) function. If the result contains newline characters it is displayed as a multiline cell. The multiline result is exported to file formats capable handling newlines in cell data, such as CSV.

Component : Tools

  • 102592 : configure switch to build hid.lst file: --enable-hids
    • Description : The build environment variable NO_HIDS, which affects to not build a current hid.lst, was not configureable by 'configure'. This changes by CWS tbo07 with 'configure --enable-hids' The change is needed, since testautomation depends now on a current hid.lst. Buildbots will start using this switch soon. When the switch is used, the hid.lst is build, if it is left out, the old behaviour is the default, to not build it. Old behaviour was to use a static hid.lst from helpcontent2/helpers/hid.lst.
