I've now pushed my "odf-1.3" branch upstream, which has some initial ODF

1.3.


packaging, part 3 with the OpenDocument schema, and part 4 with
OpenFormula. So far I've mostly been developing part 4. Of the 34 issues
under part 4, 20 are now complete, which means part 4 development is
already 59% complete.

1.3 compatibility patches, a patch adding a new constraint for the RECEIVED function, and another to only make the upgrade dialog appear when version > There are 3 useful parts to the ODF 1.3 specification, part 2 dealing with

from zero to 59% in a few days. That's great.! :-)

So far only 1 issue needed a code change, and at least 1 more also will,

1.2 were wrong or ambiguous and they wanted to fix the specification for
the sake of better interoperability with other implementations (probably

favour of AOO/LO, standardizing on how we already work, leaving us with
little or nothing to change :-).

but the impression I get is that the vast majority of changes were made not because ODF 1.3 is hugely different from ODF 1.2, but because parts of ODF Microsoft Office). A lot of the design decisions seem to have been made in

Even better.

That's interesting. So, when we want to support ODF 1.3 we just need to change / implement little code. That means also that no bigger or many problems should occur. At least this is my hope.

Confluence has been working surprisingly well.

:-)

Would anyone like to help?

If you mean coding, then you have to teach me C++ first. ;-P
Honestly, here I won't be of any help. Other things depend.



My suggestion:

Before we bring this into a release, we should discuss and define how we want or should offer the ODF 1.3 support. Instead of putting this as a selectable option in the Save dialog, we should add this to the other ODF version parts (see menu "Tools - Options - Load/Save - General - Default file format and ODF settings").

That is the right place, I think...



There is still enough to do but I think we are on the right track.

But before we can releasing anything, we must be able to translate new strings in changed dialogs and to modify our Help files accordingly.

I don't know how loading is working. But I would expect that the header data is read and the ODF version is recognized with some magic numbers.
