75GB or 11GB :-)




He would be referring to the load on the mirrors not on the individual

That the download was never 15GB...

It also still uses soffice.exe et all in Windows; meaning that LO still
takes over OOo if both are installed in parallel. The latter seems MS
like; are LO insistent on obliterating OOo by continuing to use OOo
registry entries and executable file names?

LO Final is RC4 that was released on the 19th - MD5sums are the same.

"carbon footprints"? Who thought that up?
...

That SVG import still is incomplete and doesn't work properly. In fact
SVG import is pretty much an ongoing joke (whether it be OOo-go-oo or LO).
...

Sorry, but IMO RC4/Final should have waited awhile until some of the
more basic bugs were resolved. Perhaps LO are now on the distro
fast-track (ala Ubuntu et al) rather than sorting out issues and
releasing when fully cooked?

[tdf-discuss] Congratulations & my suggestion for the next versions

[Jaime R. Garza]

Hello all,

I'm very happy with the release of LibreOffice, and I want to congratulate
all of you for the great job done!!

Now I would like to make some suggestions for the next versions:

Priority  Suggestion

1 - Notification of updates and updates with patches,
instead of having to download the whole thing
1 - Port to a Web based interface (HTML5)

As I said before I really believe that on-premise solutions are going to
become irrelevant in some time, when Zoho, GoogleDocs, etc. are mature
enough. Please seriously think about makin a HTML5 interface, which will
allow both local installations & in the cloud.

Schöne Grüsse / Cheers / Saludos

For squeeze you can wait until infinity until that happens, squeeze was already
in freeze, so... squeeze will release with OpenOffice.org 3.2.1..

For sid and/or experimental, well, your choice (besides that experimentak
already *has* 3.3.0, as rc4 == final)

Or msvcr90.dll. But both msvcr90.dll and msvcm90.dll should be in the same 
location anyway, in the WinSxS (side-by-side assembly) directory for the VC90 
runtime.

Typically there are several versions of the VC90 runtime installed, in folders 
with names like 
c:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4926_none_508ed732bcbc0e5a
 , each with three files: msvcm90.dll  msvcp90.dll  msvcr90.dll.

I don't know exactly how the C and C++ runtime is split up into these three 
DLLs. I do know msvcr90.dll is the most basic one with mainly the C library 
functions.

Indeed! I see huge potential in a mobile version of LibreOffice. :)

Just to let you all know:
We're doing some great progress on OpenOffice Document Reader.
At the moment we're improving formatting and spreadsheet support a lot.

Additionally, I'm thinking about adding the ability to edit your documents.
However, I fear I won't finish that soon.
But I'll try to work as much as possible implementing it
(there are lots of other things to do for me :/ ).

Have a nice day

Well Hotdog!! Yay everybody! 

couple of notes. The readme states "For instructions on how to do
that, please read the section below entitled Deinstallation of a
Previous Version of LibreOffice." but those instructions don't seem to
be evident in the readme.

And I see libreoffice has made it into the debian squeeze main contrib
repositories! Would it be prudent, then, to just wait until the debian
repos update with the new goodness which is LibreOffice 3.3?

[tdf-discuss] Contributors' names in LibO 3.3: how to ask for a correction?

[Gianluca Turconi]

I post here because I've just read a message about credits in LibO 3.3 and  
so I've checked them in order to confirm that bug, but if there's a better  
place where we can discuss this other issue, please point me to it.


Here are the facts: in the credits it's written

luctur
Commits: 5
Joined 2003-11-05

That "luctur" was my userid when commiting "code" in the OOo project. I  
don't know why there is my username and not my full name there, however  
this is not the main problem. In fact, I' haven't found among the  
contributors the name of Davide Prina, co-author of the Italian  
spellchecker dictionary.


Since I have originally contributed it to the OOo code base under my own  
liability but, of course, with Davide's authorization, by contributing it  
by mean of my signed Joint Copyright Agreement, I think Davide's name  
should be added to the list of credits too.


Furthermore, I've checked the THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html file and there,  
there is Davide's name and not mine as copyright owner... :)


It's a rather awkward situation, I think, and both credits and third party  
license lists should be checked and somehow synchronized.


TIA for any comments and hints about this issue.

Regards,

Gianluca

well, IMO, they should not but on a factual basis the Final is always
the last RC, so it's awkward and a mistake but nothing beyond that.

I'm sure someone will log a bug report on that, why not be that person
yourself?

OK, now... here's a few deadly serious and hopefully short marketing and 
related "things" that outsiders, product reviewers and others, including 
those that "love" LibreOffice / OpenOffice, and those that do not, will 
be looking for:


In no particular order:

1. It is critically imperative to show the difference between 
OpenOffice.org, and LibreOffice, to hopefully elminate confusion as to 
items like "what's this new LibreOffice, and what happened to OpenOffice 
?", and "Is LibreOffice picking up where Ooo.org stopped ?"


Yes, WE know the answers to the above (grin, I think !), but we simply 
MUST get the facts and situation to the OUTSIDE world...and soon.



2. Number 1 above SHOULD be also explained at any and all appropriate 
LibreOffice online websites, pages, and in all potentially languages. If 
not, potential user confusion can and will mount.



3. The initial Press Release that this reply is based on MUST VERY 
CLEARLY and should on separate lines that DRAW users / potential users 
attention quickly to those lines, state:


  Here's where to download the new LibreOffice 3.3, available in the 
following languages:


  [Clearly enunciated DOWNLOAD page here]

and

  Here's where to find full information in one or more languages:

  [Clearly enunciated INFORMATION page here]

Note that the initial Press Release does NOT quite do this -- thus, it 
is an immediate concern for clarity.



There's likely more than just the above, but I wanted to quickly get the 
above concerns and commentary out.


Most sincerely,

The Document Foundation launches LibreOffice 3.3

The first stable release of the free office suite is available for 
download


The Internet, January 25, 2011 - The Document Foundation launches 
LibreOffice 3.3, the first stable release of the free office suite 
developed by the community. In less than four months, the number of 
developers hacking LibreOffice has grown from less than twenty in late 
September 2010, to well over one hundred today. This has allowed us to 
release ahead of the aggressive schedule set by the project.


Not only does it ship a number of new and original features, 
LibreOffice 3.3 is also a significant achievement for a number of 
reasons:


- the developer community has been able to build their own and 
independent process, and get up and running in a very short time (with 
respect to the size of the code base and the project's strong ambitions);


- thanks to the high number of new contributors having been attracted 
into the project, the source code is quickly undergoing a major 
clean-up to provide a better foundation for future development of 
LibreOffice;


- the Windows installer, which is going to impact the largest and most 
diverse user base, has been integrated into a single build containing 
all language versions, thus reducing the size for download sites from 
75 to 11GB, making it easier for us to deploy new versions more 
rapidly and lowering the carbon footprint of the entire infrastructure.


Caolán McNamara from RedHat, one of the developer community leaders, 
comments, "We are excited: this is our very first stable release, and 
therefore we are eager to get user feedback, which will be integrated 
as soon as possible into the code, with the first enhancements being 
released in February. Starting from March, we will be moving to a real 
time-based, predictable, transparent and public release schedule, in 
accordance with Engineering Steering Committee's goals and users' 
requests". The LibreOffice development roadmap is available at 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan


LibreOffice 3.3 brings several unique new features. The 10 
most-popular among community members are, in no particular order: the 
ability to import and work with SVG files; an easy way to format title 
pages and their numbering in Writer; a more-helpful Navigator Tool for 
Writer; improved ergonomics in Calc for sheet and cell management; and 
Microsoft Works and Lotus Word Pro document import filters. In 
addition, many great extensions are now bundled, providing PDF import, 
a slide-show presenter console, a much improved report builder, and 
more besides. A more-complete and detailed list of all the new 
features offered by LibreOffice 3.3 is viewable on the following web 
page: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/new-features-and-fixes/


LibreOffice 3.3 also provides all the new features of OpenOffice.org 
3.3, such as new custom properties handling; embedding of standard PDF 
fonts in PDF documents; new Liberation Narrow font; increased document 
protection in Writer and Calc; auto decimal digits for "General" 
format in Calc; 1 million rows in a spreadsheet; new options for CSV 
import in Calc; insert drawing objects in Charts; hierarchical axis 
labels for Charts; improved slide layout handling in Impress; a new 
easier-to-use print interface; more options for changing case; and 
colored sheet tabs in Calc. Several of these new features were 
contributed by members of the LibreOffice team prior to the formation 
of The Document Foundation.


LibreOffice hackers will be meeting at FOSDEM in Brussels on February 
5 and 6, and will be presenting their work during a one-day workshop 
on February 6, with speeches and hacking sessions coordinated by 
several members of the project.
