Neither of them, I meant the APIs of the components and libraries we consume. hsqldb2, but also tomcat7, raptor2, etc. These updates will also require changing some OOo code too, but it will be something positive. We still want to be able to use third party components from the old OOo, so the OOo published API will remain unchanged unless there are good reasons for changing. Pedro.
