45 CppunitTest_sdext_pdfimport gerrit_windows
+ still have a high number of failing tests on Windows
+ some of this may be due to a cygwin bug
+ CppunitTest_sc_macros_test and CppunitTest_sdext_pdfimport doesn't happen reliably
* l10n (Sophie)
+ some problems with sending mail from weblate (Cloph)
+ no updates otherwise
* New full name for Pootle bot (Ilmari)
+ The name Pootle is confusing for everyone except the most erudite LibreOffice historians
+ Proposals for a new name include Botty McBotface, empty string, ⊥, 🤖 and probably Little Botty Tables
+ Maybe we should go with something simple, though, like Review bot
+ The change will not affect any scripts, as the username stays as pootlebot
+ Only documentation would need to be changed, recent wiki article and blog post (I can do it)
+ proposal: rename it to "Review bot" (Ilmari)
AI: do this (Ilmari)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ 16k cols in Calc (Lubos)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133764
+ feature/chartdatatable: MSO-style data tables for charts (Tomaz)
+ see initial commits in master
+ Working on SmartArt (Armin)
+ the plumbing is mostly done now
+ now focusing on the UI + ODF export
+ ODF filter is meant to be experimental in 7.4
+ this way no need to commit to a markup right now
+ what markup do you plan? (Kendy)
+ ideal would be something specified & ODF (Thorsten)
+ similar, but not the same as OOXML
+ have prior art with SMIL
+ tree / graph / layout could be 1:1
+ OOXML roundtrip to remain
+ expect a blog post soon (really :) )
+ feature is about editing, then
+ do we have UI to edit the smartart right now? (Hossein)
+ there is some oldish dialog: enable experimental features + add it to your menu (Thorsten)
+ goal for 7.4 is to have a nicer GUI (text edit, moving things around)
+ should land in master in 3-4 weeks
+ Adding content controls to Writer (Miklos)
+ inline <w:sdt> in DOCX, rich text/checkbox/dropdown/picture types
+ parallel installation set packing (Thorsten)
+ seems like it's working, apart from breaking macOS (will try to sort it out)
+ Linux has a nice win, 10x speedup
+ noticable if you build with help + all languages
+ running multiple make_installer.pl processes in parallel
+ the "make installer" itself is still serialized
+ Add support for field types in PDF form export (Xisco)
+ fixed a few issues with PDF forms
+ e.g. numeric field
+ emitting some JS snippets: works with Adobe Reader & firefox
+ LanguageTool grammar checking using the remote server (Kendy)
+ Mert's work:
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/134112
+ uses libcurl to handle networking
+ spellchecking / grammar checking
+ already works to some extent -> hope to get it in before the feature freeze
+ possible concern: talking to a remote server?
+ disabled by default, need to provide a REST API URL
+ gerrit change:
+ is it different to the languagetool extension? (Heiko)
+ asking because LT from extension site uses an outdated UNO component
registration/legacy active Java component registration method,
see tdf#112723
+ yes and no: developed by the same people (Kendy)
+ advantage: better results using AI & whatnot
+ also can use it without Java
+ privacy feedback? (Cloph)
+ online update + crashreport does this already
+ link is enough, no need to include the statement in the code
+ will consider this (Kendy)
