it did progress a fair bit: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51781 after eliminating the databases that don't meet our requirements, Firebird remains :) but unfortunately it doesn't seem anybody is actually working on that... > And when I see > the bugs in Base, particularly the regressions from 3.3 to 3.4 to 3.5 to > 3.6 → I don't know if the database would be usable any more with a very > different version No. 4. version 4 will have much less breaking changes than initially planned, so it shouldn't break more than previous releases :) testing of master builds is always appreciated of course (speaking of which, somebody just did that last week and reported that the HSQLDB driver performance had regressed on Linux because a bug fix was accidentally "disabled", this is fixed again now...) _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
