Dear all,

with regard to the release notes for LibreOffice 7.1 I'd like to pose
following question: Several features in release 7.0 (and before) were
marked as "experimental" and, thus, accessible only in experimental
mode. Did any of these features mature and move out of experimental
status for 7.1.?

7.0

  * Accessibility check tool to review common accessibility problems in
    documents, and support for PDF/UA specifications in the PDF export
    dialog
  *

    1024 columns in Calc [not in release notes, since marked as highly
    experimental] https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50916

6.4

  * Firebird embedded database creation put back experimental
    considering the number of bugs

6.2

  * SVG icon sets. These icon sets are considered an experimental feature

6.0

  * OpenPGP-based document encryption

5.3

  * In Writer, the section Manage Changes was added on the Sidebar
  * "Default Shapes Panel" in the new Shapes Deck (currently
    experimental) for Draw
  * Toolbar control to insert Emojis
  * Document themes [not in release notes, since marked as highly
    experimental] https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90497

4.2

  * Live data streaming (Data ▸ Streams...).
  * Accessibility bridge supporting IAccessible2 (IA2)
  * Multi-threaded import for XLSX documents

4.0

  * Send via Bluetooth (experimental) feature

3.6

  * Macro scripting

Best,

Gerry
