As we approach the first Release Candidate for Apache OpenOffice 3.4,
it would be wonderful if we could have some more volunteers testing
the latest dev snapshots builds. Following is some information on what
this requires, and how you can help.
First, if you have never tested a pre-release product before, know
that bugs are expected. That is the purpose of testing, to find bugs
so they can be fixed. Bugs could range from UI glitches, to incorrect
formatting to crashes or even data corruption. So you probably don't
want to use a test build for mission-critical tasks. Of course, I
assume you have already backed up your important documents. You do
have backups, right? Ideally you can do your testing on a separate
machine from your main work machine, so if something goes wrong you
will not interfere with your other work.
The above are all sensible precautions when testing any pre-release
software product.
If you are ready to test, you can download the latest developer
snapshot build from this page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Unofficial+Developer+Snapshots
We could use help verifying the install in all real-world scenarios,
on clean OS installs, as upgrades to previous versions of OOo and as
installs on machines where LibreOffice or Symphony are already
installed.
Installed on Ubuntu 11.04 alongside LibO 3.5 (64bit), OpenJDK 1.6 - no
problems.
Installed a few extensions - mixed results
- Report Builder - install good, a couple of quick reports, good.
I installed it to the ooo-dev r1291124 successfully on XP. But today when
I try to install into r1293550, there always be a message "Could not create
java implementation loader", I tried on XP, win7 64-bit and Ubuntu, by
using the build which provides full normal install sets...
In IP_clearance page (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/IP_Clearance) I notice
that several libararies are removed which are used by report builder
extension, should this extension still be usable without those libararies?
What's the impact of the removing?
The report builder extension was and is more or less a separated component in
our project. The source code for this extension is directly located inside our
main source code repository. The libraries which have been removed and on which
this extension is relying on had to be removed due to their licenses.
This only means that this extension can only be build inside our project, if you
install these libraries on your own on your system and use the corresponding
configure options for these libraries.
The extension itself - provided in an extension repository or copied from a
friend or ... - should be working, but as far as I know it is also relying on Java.
Best regards, Oliver.
