Re: Is AOO 4.1.2 notably faster?

Thanks for the feedback Francis, I looked a bit into the MSVC documentation and it appears their calloc() uses malloc() internally. It is likely that there are subtle compatibility reasons for them to avoid some tweaks that linux and other systems do. Maybe using calloc has secondary long-term

Re: [QUESTION] Usability of Non-Optional Java Dependencies

One more factor to consider is that the official Java installer promoted by Oracle tries really hard to trick the end-user into installing adware/spyware at the same time. We used to avoid this in the Sun installer by bundling Java, but having it as an external dependency for new AOO users means

Re: [QUESTION] Usability of Non-Optional Java Dependencies

Would you confirm that, about the adware/spyware tricks? If confirmed, that would definitely interest me. Perhaps it's just my obliviousness or rapidly fading memory, but I don't recall ever seeing a trap on Oracle's Java download trying to install adware/spyware.

In that case, the basic program should definitely be in Java, to avoid buffer overflows, undefined operations, and pointer arithmetic. The Java security issues are associated with attempts to run untrusted code in various controlled environments. That includes applets, as well as well as

Re: [QUESTION] Usability of Non-Optional Java Dependencies

For AOO to achieve its full potential it must be possible to use it while assuming "Java" refers to an island one of whose exports is coffee beans. However, in normal home and office environments, the people doing installation are often more technically knowledgeable, and more likely to RTFM
