Re: [Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 4.2.0 RC2 test builds available

Hi everyone,

Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 4.2.0, the builds for rc2 are now
available on pre-releases (windows helppacks still uploading)

Besides the usual builds, there are also 64bit builds for Mac
available for testing.

Reminder: Starting with 4.2.0rc1, developers (and people doing some
low-level QA) on windows can make use of the symbol server to get
pdb files for debugging the release builds. The symbol server's URL is

http://dev-downloads.libreoffice.org/symstore/symbols

and starting with 4.2.0rc2 the symbol files are also source-indexed¹.
This means the debugger can now download and display the sourcecode
that corresponds to the build².

see
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg
on how to make use of it

See

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.2#4.2.0_release

for the complete schedule.

Grab the builds from here here:

  http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

The builds include the full set of languages.

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try  report any severe
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate  them into the
release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
feedback.


Any idea when the test build for rc2 will show on our Pre-release 
webpage?[1]


Cheers,

Marc

I have been following this discussion and the only worry I have is that 
the doc team is not included on it. IMO, Jean should be aware of this 
discussion as the acronyms and any potential changes may have an effect 
on the various documentation terminology that is being used in our docs.


It would be nice if any changes were coordinated with all affected groups.

From my point of view OLH (Online Help), and, from a vernacular point 
of view for most users, would mean that once you choose that particular 
link/menu item, that you would be sent online on the internet for the 
help files. The OLH menu link, when viewed in context in any particular 
software package, usually means to a user that she/he will be taken to 
help files for that particular software available on the internet.


IMO, if we would want to make it clearer that the help files are NOT 
online, then another name/acronym should be created to properly describe 
the menu choice. Making as short, descriptive, obvious and as literal as 
possible, IMO, should be our primary goal; this will ensure that all 
competency levels of users (whether newbies or knowledgeable users) are 
clear as to the menu choice they are making. Perhaps just labelling 
Help Documents would be sufficient enough. The fact that there is no 
online will be obvious enough that the user is not being sent online 
for help docs and that the local files are always accessible to the user.


Cheers,

Marc

​Sophie, I'm not quite certain that I'm doing the right thing, but after
downloading and installing the base package (
LibreOffice_4.2.0.2_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gzhttp://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_4.2.0.2_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz),

failed due to dependency problems (a notice to the effect that

MozTrap account, clicked «Run tests», chose 4.2.0 RC2, and then selected an

x86_64), «Locale» (I chose «En_GB», and «Platforms» (Linux), after which a
further 49 report parametres appeared, starting with «Install LibreOffice»,
which, alas, I was forced to report as having failed, due to the dependency
problem mentioned above. I copied in the relevant portions of the terminal

​Thanks, Sophie ! Good to know that I hadn't entirely misunderstood ! As a
matter of fact, I did use Christian's link to access the clean install set,
but alas, it would seem that the dependency issue remains alive and well,
at least for the Swedish helppack. I'm hoping Christian will take a further
look at this matter and report back on this thread when the dependency
issue has been corrected ; I'll then try once again to install the helppack
and, in the event I succeed run further MozTrap tests

[Libreoffice-qa] SIGSEV after clicking through different QuickStarter entries and closing it

2014-01-12 Thread Thomas Hackert
Hello @ll,
I found an interesting bug (I think ... ;) ) and I need someone, who 
could try it on his/her machine ... ;)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start LO
2. Activate the QuickStarter (Tools – Options – LibreOffice – 
Memory on the right below LibreOffice QuickStarter)
3. Press Ctrl+Q to close LO completely
4. Close the QuickStarter, if it is still open
5. Start LO via command prompt 
(/opt/libreoffice4.2/program/soffice). I used Konsole Version 2.11.3
and KDE 4.11.3, but it would be nice, if someone with a different 
desktop manager could try it as well ... ;)

The QuickStarter should be visible alongside LO's StartCenter

6. Close LO via Ctrl+Q
7. Click on the QuickStarter and open each item there (Text 
Document, Spreadsheet etc.) and close it promptly without doing 
anything else.
8. Skip Disable systray QuickStarter, but do not forget to open 
all other items ... ;)
9. Close the QuickStarter via Exit QuickStarter

On my system (Debian Testing AMD64 and LO with installed 
Germanophone lang- as well as helppack (Version: 4.2.0.2 Build ID: 
601a398b803303d1a40a3299729531824fe0db56) ) Java spits out the 
message

#

/quote

Would someone be so kind to try to reproduce it, please? Though it 
does not affect any work with LO (as far as I see, that is ... ;) ), 
but I am not sure, if it could have any further impact for our users 
... :(
Thanks for testing
Thomas.

No problem under Windows XP. But my system is x86 and I'm using Java 7

Could it be a problem with Java 8? Is LO ready for Java 8?

[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 4.2.0 RC2 available

2014-01-12 Thread Christian Lohmaier
Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the second release
candidate of LibreOffice 4.2.0. The upcoming 4.2.0 will bring new
features and lots of bugfixes. Check out
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.2 for an
(incomplete and work-in-progress) list of the new features.
Please be aware that LibreOffice 4.2.0 RC2 is not been flagged as ready
for production use yet, you should continue to use LibreOffice 4.1.4 for that.

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/

LibreOffice 4.2.0 RC2 is also available in a 64bit version for Mac OS
X 10.8 (or newer)

Developers and QA might also be interested in the symbol server for
windows debug information (see the release notes linked below for
details). Beginning with RC2, the debug symbols are also source-indexed.

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.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/get-involved/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 with 4.2.0 RC2 is available
from our wiki:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/4.2.0/RC2

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

   [abbreviations or the term Online Help] ...
 So let's hear some suggestions. I assume everyone will understand which
 one is meant when they read the term Offline Help in isolation. If you
 disagree, please also suggest a different term for that.

 I have been following this discussion and the only worry I have is that the
 doc team is not included on it. IMO, Jean should be aware of this discussion
 as the acronyms and any potential changes may have an effect on the various
 documentation terminology that is being used in our docs.

 It would be nice if any changes were coordinated with all affected groups.

 From my point of view OLH (Online Help), and, from a vernacular point of
 view for most users, would mean that once you choose that particular
 link/menu item, that you would be sent online on the internet for the help
 files. The OLH menu link, when viewed in context in any particular software
 package, usually means to a user that she/he will be taken to help files for
 that particular software available on the internet.

 IMO, if we would want to make it clearer that the help files are NOT online,
 then another name/acronym should be created to properly describe the menu
 choice. Making as short, descriptive, obvious and as literal as possible,
 IMO, should be our primary goal; this will ensure that all competency levels
 of users (whether newbies or knowledgeable users) are clear as to the menu
 choice they are making. Perhaps just labelling Help Documents would be
 sufficient enough. The fact that there is no online will be obvious enough
 that the user is not being sent online for help docs and that the local
 files are always accessible to the user.


 I've been following this thread, as it relates to a (minor) concern
 that I've had for some time. (My computer use goes back far enough
 that to me, online means on the computer (not on the Internet)
 versus in a book; but I'm well aware that the term means something
 different these days, especially to younger users. So, yes, we need a
 better one; and yes, the term needs to be the same in the user guides
 as it is in the program and elsewhere.

 I haven't done any research to see what might be a common term these
 days, so I don't immediately have a suggestion. I'll get back to you
 later today when I've had a chance to consider this a bit more.

The user guides refer to the built-in Help system which is reached
by pressing F1 or choosing Help  LibreOffice Help on the menu bar.
Built-in may not be the best term but it is short, descriptive, and
literal. Is it obvious? Your call.

(I still haven't done any research to see what might be a common term
these days.)
