I think I mentioned it before. Currently I assume that it is a problem with
libcurl. Unless you specify that you want to compile against the correct
SDK version libcurl uses a vista function unconditionally. So this has been
an old problem (and would have crashed on XP if the corresponding ucp
component got loaded) but is now causing a crash already during start as
our minidump uploaded has a libcurl dependency.

There is a patch to fix it by telling the libcurl build to compile against
the old version but as I have no XP I can not test if it really helps.

Markus

Sorry, no noticeable delay when opening LibreOffice and setting the Extended
Tooltips active from Tools -> Options -> General: Extended tips checkbox.

Nor when "temporarily" shifting to them active with +F1

[Libreoffice-qa] Testing - Slowness Enable Extended tips?

[m.a.riosv]

Please could someone test, with:

Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/General - Help - Extended tips ->enable

LibreOfffice becomes really slow for a while in Menu/Tools/Options or e.g.
calling Function wizard in Calc and selecting functions.

Looks as if takes a lot of time load the tips for first time.

+ bar-code horribly implemented too (Michael)
=> not at the stage of some blog-post for direction here (Kendy)
+ good to encourage people to write extensions of course.

+ saves compiling their own version.
 
* Crashtest update (Caolan)
+ 1 import failures, 119 export failure, 0 coverity
+ earlier in the week was 0, 0, 0.
+ 119 failure are from new colormap index asserts and now fixed at png/bmp

(Thorsten)
+ if around to fix the fallout (Miklos)
+ eg. base URL of document not-empty etc.
+ prolly more here around binary validation (Thorsten)
+ looking good.
+ would be great to load as 24bit and ignore after that (Caolan)

[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 5.2.0 RC1 available

[Christian Lohmaier]

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the first release
candidate of LibreOffice 5.2.0. The upcoming 5.2.0 will be the first
release of our fresh 5.2 line. Please be aware that LibreOffice 5.2.0
RC1 has not been flagged as ready for production use yet, however feel
free to give it a try instead of 5.0.6 of 5.1.4.

A work-in-progress list of new features in LibreOffice 5.2 can be
found at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.2

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Windows builds are also provided in 64bit version.

Developers and QA might also be interested in the symbol server for
windows debug information (see
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg
for
details)

Should you find bugs, please report them to our Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test

For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can
e.g. contribute code:

  http://www.libreoffice.org/community/developers/

translate LibreOffice to your language:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide

or help with funding our operations:

  http://donate.libreoffice.org/

A list of known issues and fixed bugs compared to 5.2.0 beta2 is
available from our wiki:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.2.0/RC1

Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having
contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have
been possible without your help.

On behalf of the Community,

Christian
