related ?
+ Lubos working on the bugs …
+ crash traces now showing file-names (Caolan)
+ problem with streams with bad CRCs
+ used to not care during loading, but saving shows the issue
+ discussed on the dev list – awaiting conclusion
+ pulled out files that cause issues for Lubos (Caolan)
+ these files were artificially generated Forcepoint files
+ doesn’t matter which way we go – ignoring them is fine.
+ Online / Sidebar merge – core + online (Ash)
+ extraordinarily busy ~50+ patches
+ and some problems here, breaking things in gerrit
+ another week until it gets there in core, lets see
+ perhaps punt it.
+ HSQLDB vs. Firebird ? (Caolan)
+ last release punted out decision on removing HSQLDB
+ should we do that / who makes that decision ?
+ would like to see it go but – do we think it will work ?
+ not a good idea to remove HSQLDB in 6.3 (Drew)
+ migration assistant is not capable of moving the
majority of files it can run across.
+ E-mail on dev. list about this.
+ recommend leave firebird active as in 6.2
+ recommend expose migration assistant as it is today
+ but reasonable set of data-types doesn’t work for
+ needs to be fixed & improving SDBC driver to have parity
with HSQL – spend time to 6.4 to focus activities to
encourage migration.
+ prefer to drop this for 6.4 ...
+ what is the state ? (Caolan)
+ firebird is the default in 6.2 (Drew)
+ in 6.3 we get the migration assistant out of the box.
+ suggest on the dialog box saying “want to migrate ?” (Drew)
+ link to a wiki page with a tutorial to help there.
+ tie it into some blog posts – to get some urgency here (Drew)
AI:+ add link to the dialog (Caolan)
+ do we have a migration tracking bug ? (Caolan)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116968
+ Bullets/Numbering dialog (Heiko)

+ work ongoing by Gulsah, Mike K., Caolan, Miklos, Andras
scaling issues here (?) Mike K and Caolan poked it.
+ not totally happy on the workflow, but big improvement.
+ Gulsah plans to still work on it but on vacation (Miklos)
+ lets re-visit next week.
+ good for QA to look (Heiko)
+ makes most senese when known issues are fixed (Miklos)
+ UI only, not frozen yet, not really a late feature
+ Remotes
+ Android viewer
+ Online
+ branched b1 release coming soon.
* Safari issue with sandboxing (Christian)
+ as a sandboxed app Safari can’t access files in LibreOffice distro
+ user can’t click links and load our built-in help anymore.
+ affects existing LibreOffice released versions
+ should we ship a built-in webkit widget (?)
+ horrible that the web is not this cross-platform thing (Michael)
+ use the browser of the system, build our own help viewer again (Cloph)
+ can sandbox’d safari access localhost ports ? (Michael Stahl)
+ could have
