[Bugzilla] Proposal: Further value for field Version - namely pre 3.4.0
Hi, during the review of issues (newly submitted ones and also critical ones) I observed the following: Sometimes it reveals that the described defect already occurs in OpenOffice versions which had been released before OpenOffice found its new home at Apache. Unfortunately, the available values for field Version in our Bugzilla instance are limited to values of versions which had been released under the hood of Apache. In order to mark these kind of issues more accurate and to distinguish them from issues which had been introduced in version 3.4.0 I propose to introduce value pre 3.4.0 (or similar) for field Version in Bugzilla. From my point of view it will help - at least me - to prioritize the issues. Any objections to introduce this new value for field Version in Bugzilla? Best regards, Oliver. P.S.: Issue 123063 [1] is closely related to my proposal.

The thing we're trying to avoid, I think, is someone reporting an issue in an older version of OOo without first upgrading and seeing whether it is already fixed in the current version of AOO. If a bug existed in, say, OOo 3.3.0 and still exists in AOO 4.0.1, it is not incorrect to label it as an AOO 4.0.1 bug. In fact this will happen quite often. We don't have the QA resources to do archeological research and re-test every new bug in older versions. So the meaning of version has been something like what version of the product did you detect the bug in with the constriction that we highly encourage the user to be running a current version of AOO before reporting any bug. This isn't a perfect solution, of course, and I have no objection to us revisiting this. But I just wanted to make sure we all knew why it is how it is today. Regards, -Rob Best regards, Oliver.

This isn't a perfect solution, of course, and I have no objection to us revisiting this. But I just wanted to make sure we all knew why it is how it is today. I can follow the arguments and I do not want to propose that every reported issue should be checked in an older version. But since OpenOffice found its new home at Apache we had changes at some more basics - e.g. exchange of the neon library by the serf library, more updates to 3rd party libraries, kick of Mozilla libs, introduction of 3rd party library CoinMP, kick of STLport, introduction of the Sidebar, introduction of IA2, removal of the 3-layer office, ... These changes might cause by side effects issues whose relation is not directly seen. Thus, I personally draw more attention to issues which had been introduced by 3.4.0 and later than to issues introduced by pre 3.4.0 versions. Thus, when an issue comes to my focus in an area which I know and I am not aware of a corresponding change in this area since 3.3.0 which could have triggered this issue I have a former OOo version at hand - OOo 3.2.0 and OOo 3.3.0 and also OOo 3.4 Beta. Thus, just a quick check of the issue in these versions allows me to prioritize it. Important is to keep this information searchable in Bugzilla. Thus, I would like to tag issues which occurs in pre 3.4.0 version appropriately and to filter these issues with corresponding Bugzilla queries.
