Feature testing after UI and Feature freeze for OOo 2.3

Here are all features and enhancements, which were integrated in 2.3. All the listed issues are announced in the release notes for the developer snapshots since SRC680m200. With build SRC680m221 all features and enhancements should be integrated. This is the first build after Feature Freeze. At the end of this page you will find links to all issues from type feature and enhancement. If one of those issues isn't listed here, a feature announcement is missing or was missing before the release notes for the developer snapshots were created.

Component : API

  • 77185 : A possibility to represent a sequence as a seekable input stream is required.
    • Description : While using OOo API there is often a need to represent data from a sequence as a stream. For this reason the service "com.sun.star.io.SequenceInputStream" is introduced. Please see the idl specification for details

Component : Chart






















  • 58457 : Fileformat violation when saving Donut Charts
    • Description : Donut charts now are written to xml according to the ODF specification. Wrong files from former versions are converted during loading. As former versions are buggy they will not be able to import the new correct files correctly. So switch to the corrected version completely when you use this chart type.

Component : dba - Database

  • 45663 : Database Forms should not share their Window Size etc. with normal Writer documents
    • Description : With the integration of CWS fwkdbdesign01, database forms and reports will not share their UI configuration with text documents anymore. That is, you can have separate toolbar/menu/keyboard configurations for all three modules: forms, reports, normal text documents. Additionally, window states are also handled separately, that is, if you open a database form with a certain window size, and a certain set of opened toolbars, then those settings will not be shared with text documents anymore, but be valid for all database forms only. The same holds for database reports, of course.

  • 71900 : remove Calc's "Form Object" toolbar
    • Description : With the integration of CWS dba23ui, the entries in Base's task pane (the upper pane with items such as "Create a new table..." etc.) have accelerator shortcuts, i.e. can be accessed by pressing the Alt key (or whatever is the platform dependent accelerator key) plus the respective shortcut. The shortcuts are determined dynamically at runtime, and do not interfere with the accelerators for main menu and the left hand side category pane.

  • 73084 : Base, slash "/" in report name causes error message when trying to do anythign with the report..
    • Description : With the integration of CWS dba23a, database objects (queries, forms, reports) cannot contain slashes / in their name anymore. This character never reliably worked when used, and since it's used in another meaning already - separating hierarchies when you, for instance, put forms or reports into folders -, they have been completely forbidden. Every attempt to create or rename an object, giving it a name with a slash, will now be rejected with an error message. If Base reads a document which already contains such broken names, then the slashes will silently be converted to underscores _ - which implies the objects will then work, again.

Component : Drawing




Component : Framework










  • 77640 : Single Dialog Export in Dialog Editor
    • Description : Similar to the export of single Basic modules as *.bas file in the OOo Basic IDE it's now also possible to export single Dialogs in the Dialog Editor (as *.xdl files). Until now it has only been possible to export a complete (dialog) library. If a Dialog Library is localized also properties files are exported that contain all string resources used by the exported dialog. These files are named like this: $DialogName_$LanguageCode.properties e.g. Dialog1_en_US.properties. This correponds with the extended functionality of the com.sun.star.awt.DialogProvider service. For details see #i75778.

Component : sc - Spreadsheet

  • 25278 : print default suggestions
    • Description : The default values for the following print options in Calc have been changed: - Print only selected sheets (property AllSheets) - Suppress output of empty pages (property EmptyPages); By default those options are now enabled. In addition, if the 'Print only selected sheets' option is enabled, the Calc page preview prints only the displayed sheet. Furthermore a warning box with the message 'There is nothing to print. The selected print range or sheet is empty.' is shown, if nothing is printed, e.g. if the document, selected sheet or print range is empty.

  • 32342 : Matrix/array constants as a parameter
    • Description : Calc now supports inline matrix/array constants in formulas. An inline array is surrounded by curly braces '{' and '}'. Elements can be each a number (including negatives), a logical constant (TRUE, FALSE) or a literal string. Non-constant expressions are not allowed. Arrays can be entered with one or more rows, and one or more columns. All rows must consist of the same number of elements, all columns must consist of the same number of elements, so that a two-dimensional array has no sparse elements. The column separator (separating elements in one row) is the ';' semicolon, the row separator is a '|' pipe symbol. They were chosen because the upcoming ODF formula specification uses these separators. Contrary to Excel, the separators are not UI-version and/or locale dependent. Arrays can not be nested. Import/export from/to Excel are implemented.

  • 47644 : improved error values on Excel import
    • Description : Introduced a new error code 532 to distinguish division by zero errors from the more general illegal floating-point operation with error code 503. A more user-friendly #DIV/0! instead of Err:532 is displayed. The illegal floating-point operation now displays #NUM! instead of Err:503. This should be reflected in the online help under "error codes;list of". The list of functions resulting in #DIV/0! includes, but may not be limited to: ...

  • 59082 : autoshapes with macros not imported into sc
    • Description : In a spreadsheet, drawing objects (lines, rectanges etc) and pictures may contain a link to a macro. This macro will be executed when the object is clicked with the mouse. UI: The context menu of these objects has been extended by a new entry "Assign Macro..." that opens the macro selection dialog. If a macro has been assigned to an object, the mouse pointer will change to a "hand" if it is over the object. API: Shapes will support the optional interface com.sun.star.document.XEventsSupplier. Its function getEvents() returns a name container with one element, named "OnClick" and containing a sequence of com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue objects. The sequence is empty if no macro link is present, otherwise contains the property "EventType" with value "Script", and the property "Script" with macro name as value. Loading/saving from/to ODF works, also import from BIFF8 Excel files (no export yet).

    • Description : From mmp's short spec as issue comment: If the horizontal scrollbar has nothing to do then the pages will be centered in the window. Otherwise we keep the behavior from previous OOo versions (ZoomIn bahaviour will not be changed.) The center of the pages is defined by the half width of the widest page of the document (pages can also be in landscape orientation, right?). Then all pages are aligned to the left border of the widest page.

  • 55007 : Update charts in writer should be automatic, or at least more accessible
    • Description : The checkbox in the dialog "Tools/Options/Star Office Writer/General" named "Charts" is now indented the same level as the "Fields" box. Also enabling/disabling the "Field" box does not have an effect on the "Chart" box anymore. Thus toggling of automatic updates for charts is now fully a flag on it's own. If that flag is set and changes to a table cell (with a chart attached) are made the chart will be updated a moment after the cursor leaves the current cell. And this is right after the formula fields in a table got updated. Thus chart will get the correct value for every field. Previously the chart was only updated if cells/rows/columns got deleted/inserted or if a cell changed that was used in a formula field of another cell. Now all changes to a cells content will trigger the automatic update for the chart object if the cursor leaves the cell.

  • 75146 : separate UI/configuration of XML Form Documents from Writer
    • Description : With the integration of CWS fwkdbdesign01, XML form documents will not share their UI configuration with text documents anymore. That is, you can have separate toolbar/menu/keyboard configurations for text documents and XML form documents. Additionally, window states are also handled separately, that is, if you open an XML form document with a certain window size, and a certain set of opened toolbars, then those settings will not be shared with text documents anymore, but be valid for all XML form documents only.
