+ these show up only in the product
+ ready in a branch for merge before Beta2

* Release Engineering update (Petr)
+ 3.6 / Beta 1 retrospective
+ delayed by deluge of commits just before FF.
+ misc. problems caused by one-off gbuild migrations
+ testing much encouraged here:
+ not enough new 3.6 specific bugs
+ 3.6 / Beta 2
+ Monday freeze - want all late-features in by then.
+ 3.5.5
+ thanks for all the patch reviews !
+ linux build host failed, Fridrich re-built a replacement
+ rc1 builds up-loaded, deadline for rc2 is in 25th June
+ longer window than usual

* GSOC update (Cedric)
+ checked-in with a few students this week

* Late features for Beta2
+ Windows 7 / UI improvements needs 2x more reviews.
+ Astron: approved the look - with some bug fixes
AI: + provide 3rd review of it (Markus)
+ calc: data-bars  color-scales (Moggi)

AI: + send out some mail addresses to poke (Astron)
AI: + poke Tango authors (Michael)
+ default document / style-loading before feature-freeze
+ not quite ready yet
+ limited font selection annoying / is it worthwhile ?
+ needs testing, as to whether updating the std. styles
  alters future documents, and/or impacts performance
= punt to 3.7 post discussion
+ discussing promoting style use (Kendy/Mirek)
+ show styles in a drop-down
+ with a sub-menu for improving the styles

* SQLite vs. HSQLDB for base (Lionel)
+ SQLite very sloppy typing can cause serious problems cf.
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38811
+ no date/time datatype.
= perhaps not a good idea to switch to sqlite
   longer term
+ without tons of special casing, get lots of
  nasty bugs outside string, float

+ our best shot might be firebird

+ postponed for next week

* Exciting - existing user profile / upgrade bug tracker:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43489

  any file 

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.5 RC1 available

2012-06-15 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first release
candidate of LibreOffice 3.5.5. The upcoming 3.5.5 will be the fifth
in a series of frequent bugfix releases for our 3.5 code line. Please
be aware that LibreOffice 3.5.5 RC1 is not yet ready for production
use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.4 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the beta quality is to run some specific manual
tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test

 (and the announcement mail: 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/022464.html)
 
For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can
e.g. contribute code:

  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/

translate LibreOffice to your language:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Translation_for_3.5

or help with funding our operations:

  http://challenge.documentfoundation.org/

A list of known issues and fixed bugs with 3.5.5 RC1 is available
from our wiki:

  https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.5.5/RC1

Please find the list of changes against LibreOffice 3.5.4 here:

  
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-5-5-release-3.5.5.1.log

Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having
contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have
been possible without your help.

Yours,

The Document Foundation Board of Directors

it is possible. One could add a tag label=whatever and then use
whatever as label, or something similar.


The code  for the extension is here:
https://github.com/tdf/misc/tree/master/wiki/EasyHacks

The label is hardcoded to EasyHack here:
https://github.com/tdf/misc/blob/master/wiki/EasyHacks/SimpleFeed.php#L139

So fairly easy to replace that with a different label in case a label
or similar tag is added.

ciao
Christian
