Re: [libreoffice-documentation] ODF formats

Howdy,

The ODF v.13 has been released by OASIS as a specification.

OASIS is not the actual standards authority, that would be ISO
(International Standards Organization).

So at the moment the v1.3 specification is available for implementing
vendors to work with and test.

That is reason, to be the best of my knowledge, why it is an option in this
release but not the default yet.

Best wishes,

Drew

[libreoffice-documentation] ODF formats

2020-01-14 Thread Stephen Fanning
All,

I have noticed a cause of potential confusion in the Tools - Options -
Load/Save - General dialog page.

On this page the user is able to select the ODF format version.
(1) The default setting is the option "1.2 Extended".
(2) The menu also contains an entry entitled "1.3 Extended (recommended)".
(3) Below the selection menu is a note which reads "Not using ODF 1.3
Extended may cause information to be lost".

So we appear to be defaulting to an inferior option.

Is this desirable or should it be considered for change (there may already
be a bug that I haven't found yet)?

If it isn't to be changed, what should be stated in the Getting Started
Guide?

Regards,

Steve
