OOo 2.2

• new potential stoppers for release have been discussed:
  • #75430 [OOo 2.2, sba] - setting CharHidden on a sw-paragraph leaves the paragraph in an undefinded state
  • #75471 [OOo 2.2, kla] - Stock Chart: Min-Max line is shown incorrectly and diagram may vanish
  • #75480 [OOo 2.2, cgu] - custom animation extremly slow
  • #75086 [OOo 2.2, aw] - Dataloss: Drawings created with 2.0 corrupted

• we will do a m14, the release will be moved one week, new estimated release date is March 28th.

• some discussion about we can avoid similar situation for 2.3 release. It was common sense that we need to get more QA folks earlier onto the release:
  • make more advertizement for OOo-Dev Snapshots
  • make it possible to do installations of last stable release and recent rc in parallel

• security issue wrt. libwpd is nor public -> we should release asap.

• we will meet on Tuesday 3pm German time again to get detailed status of open issues and develop time plan.

RE this week: SRC680 rt, OOF680 kz, hr

issue tracking

• cws smarttags2 - lengthy discussion about this cws. smarttags1 included a not default enabled, feature (implemented as components) and was nominated in time for UI/Feature freeze. smarttags2 includes a fix/minor enhance for this feature in the writer core. The possibilty for doing an extra build for the customers of Jakobs company were discussed. We all agreed that it causes irritation in the OOo user community if there are different builds around for the same release. A risk assessment was done by Mathias B. and Frank Meies and the risk was considered as low. Pavel J. ask for the draft of the Specification to be published and for the source code of the example component. Jakob L. and Frank M. will take action on this asap. The participants all agreed that the cws does not meet our criteria for integration at this time but also agreed to make an exceptional vote on this in favor to avoid concurrent builds.

• cws maxosxmapfile - this cws includes changes for the export of symbols for the libraries on MacOSX. This has been considered as stopper for MacOSX for this release and it has also been verified that there is no breakage on the other platforms. Heiner R. will also do another binary diff for the Linux libraries to ensure identity.

• cws sdkinspektor2 - this cws for an example compoent in the ODK includes not only a bugfix but also some refactoring. We approved this also to integrated as is, but also would like to remind all, not do so. Please minmize risk and do only the fixed you need to do in a new bugfix cws.

• • i73602 still seems to be a problem, need more detailed status until next week

new strings in os91

Writer Format->Bullets & Numbering has many unaccessible components There are missing strings (24) for making this functionality not usable in a11y context. There are not visible in normal context, but are considered as stopper for a11y for the release. We accepted this as an exception for late integration. A Heads up will be send out to dev@l10n.
