Yes, but up to now we haven't sent it to some dozen millions non-English

Developers have posted information to the list and wiki as the work as
been done.  Remember, work has been ongoing in the trunk while 4.0.1
was done in a branch.

The ordering has not been set.  But whatever order things are done,
the trunk is 4.1 and a 4.0.2, if one is done, would be built from the
4.0 branch.

Trunk is 4.1, or 4.1.0-dev if you want to be precise.

FVT has defined test cases.  It is a general test pass.  Additional

It is an FVT of the 4.1 code in the trunk.

Sorry  I am a bit confused.

I have been looking for a Function spec. for 4.1 but not found one, did I
miss something ?

Also I have not found a decision (but many mails assuming) that our next

That's the point of a graph layout algorithm.  All graphviz needs is a
list of nodes and edges and it applies an algorithm to create an
optimal layout.  There are various algorithms.  Some use physical
analogies, treating the edges as idealized springs and use a
simulation of the physical forces to determine the layout.  Others
apply simulated annealing with an objective function based on number
of overlapping lines and similar aesthetic factors,

When I do diagrams like this I do it on a blank page, with no
masterpage objects.

I'd do it as three stages:

1) Determine the ideal layout, based on just knowledge of the
topology, i.e., the nodes and edges as points and lines.

2) Apply the ideal layout back to the original diagram.

3) Scale the nodes  if needed to avoid overlap of nodes.  (Or allow
the user to tweak the diagram manually)

It is worth reviewing the example graphviz layouts.  It works rather well:

This should be possible.  Graph layout algorithms are well-known [1].
There are popular open source packages like graphviz that implement
some of these algorithms.  You define the nodes and the edges and
graphviz determines an optimal layout.

It should be possible to take an Impress (or Draw) diagram and extract
the abstract qualities of the diagram (the nodes, and their
connections), create an optimal layout using graphviz and then bring
that layout back into the diagram and apply it.   I know it could be

at runtime as well.


Nice idea, and surely useful, but connectors know only the two objects 
they are connected with, thus there is no way for them to find out what 
'other' objects they should avoid to travel over. That would be a lot of 
'guessing', e.g. do you avoid objects on the masterpage, too? The 
rectangle shape the whole structure is lying above? Who defines what the 
'whole structure' is?
Surely it can be done e.g. with an extension working on a selection of

use these for output, simply because connectors are limited to 5 line 
segments currently (the whole layouting is based on this, and - even 
worse - the possible maximum thee control points to adjust the maximum 
three inner edges).
Thus, it may be possible by creating simple polygons as output instead 
of the connectors, but else I doubt it could be done without core 
changes, sorry

Apache OpenOffice is an Office Suite not a package of several programms.

Under Windows you dan a do an user defined installation. But IMO this

Just FYI: I am writing for a magazine called TechWorld in Sweden and I thought 
that it was time to mention Apache OpenOffice. So I wrote this a few days ago:

Re: Open Office Calc 'Auto Filter' Improvement

Hi Team,

I am using open office from last few years and found it to be very
useful. I am a software tester and want to suggest one improvement in
Open Office Calc 'Filter' process:

  * Currently i am unable to filter the blank fields using the Open
Office filter.


I am not sure what you mean by 'blank fields' - My interpretation is 
that you mean table cells which are have no content. Is this right?


As you can always select the cell range on which a filter should be 
applied to you are able to include very table cell you want.



  * I have to use standard filter every time to filter the Blank records.


'Blank records' == 'blank fields'. Again, I am not sure what is meant by it.

Thus, you mean that the 'Auto Filter' misses a certain functionality. Right?
You can also select the cell range for an 'Auto Filter'



It would be very helpful if it you can add one filter option as 'Blanks'
in the 'Auto Filter' option as the Microsoft Excel provides. Please look
into it and provide your inputs.



Could you please provide more detailed information about the requested 
feature?


Best regards, Oliver.

I don't have the answer, but I'm trying to clarify (and summarize some
old messages) so that experienced developers can answer.

Shemil is interested in the Writer autocomplete feature (i.e., when you
type "inter" Writer automatically suggest "interesting" if you used it
in other places in the text) and would like to have pointers to the
source code with the idea to improve the user interface for this
functionality and make other possible choices (like "interested" in my
example above) more visible. Can anyone tell Shemil where to look into?


I don't know either but I would start building the office from scratch
and then building the module "sw" with debug information, copy the
related libraries in the office and start debugging.

Use opengrok (path "sw") to identify possible code places and set
breakpoints ...

Probably Oliver can give more concrete tips but he is on vacation this
week.



I am sorry - I did not had the time to provide the requested information
since my return from vacation.
I hope I will until the end of the week.

Shemil Hashan, just ping me again, if I am running out of time and are
not able to give the corresponding pointers to the code.



I am not very familar with code that deals with the Word completion 
resp. autocomplete feature. The classes that are responsible for it have 
names which start with 'SwAutoComplete'. Search for string 
'autocomplete' (case insensitive) in module sw - most of the search 
results belong to this functionality.


Best regards, Oliver.

Yes, but up to now we haven't sent it to some dozen millions non-English
speaking users through update notices... Note that this is not the page
describing the End-of-life; it is the landing page where people will be
pointed at by a message (in OpenOffice) telling there that an update for
OpenOffice is available. This is why I prefer that we actually talk
about upgrades in the title.



Keeping in mind that this page is the landing page for certain 
OpenOffice update notifications I agree with Andrea.
