This is an update on the KOffice 1.5 release effort. I've added a couple
of notes and I've gone through the new bugs for the past month. Couple
of new crashes in Krita, I'm afraid. But much good work has been done!
Release schedule
The current release schedule is:
December 14: Tagging Alpha
December 21: Announcement of Alpha
January 12: Feature Freeze
January 19: Tagging of Beta 1
January 27: Announcement of Beta 1
February 2: Documentation Freeze
February 23: Translations, icons, bugfix Freeze
February 27: Announcement of RC1
March 22: Annoucnement of Final Release
We may have to do a quick release of KOffice SVN for usability testing
by Leon and Thomas.
Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The release manager is more or less computer-less. I may receive my new
laptop by December 14, in which case the alpha tagging and announcement
will be somewhat later. I do not intent to let this push out the rest of
the release schedule.
Tests
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing has been done to create automated tests for loading/saving
documents. Nothing has been done to create automated integration or
GUI tests. Some unittests have been added. I've added lots of test
documents from bugzilla to the tests directory in svn.
Developments
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Gary Cramblitt has added a speech framework to KOffice
* Ariya Hidayat has started working on an optimized DOM loader
implementation. If this will work out, we will have our much
faster loading, especially of OpenDocument documents.
* KWord now uses OpenDocument by default. Please report problems
to David Faure.
* I haven't seen much OpenDocument work on KSpread, KPresenter and
KChart
* Very thorough new guides implementation for KPresenter -- to be
re-used in Krita
* Peter Simonssen and Thomas Zander worked out a new startup page
for all KOffice apps that's much easier to use than the old template
dialog.
* Anne-Marie Mahfouf has really cleaned up the user-visible strings of
KSpread
* Kross scripting has been moved into the KOffice libs by Sebastian
and Cyrille and is now used in Krita and Kexi.
* KWord has been refactored by Thomas and is now in a much better shape,
even if the most user-visible change has been the centering of the
page in the window by David. (We need that in Krita, too.)
* There's even been some work on filters!
* And of course, lots of bug fixing, feature fixing, feature adding
and polish by everyone.
* Boemann implemented autoscrolling in KOffice libs
Worries (aka risks)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Haven't heard much from the new ppt import filter for KPresenter.
Is that still on?
* Wasn't there some work being done on replacing the bloody dangerous
xpdf-based pdf import filter? Any progress?
* Will OpenDocument support in KPresenter, KSpread and KChart ready
by mid-january?
* Will the KWord refactoring lead to stable tables by January? Will
KWord be stable by mid-January?
* Will Kugar be releasable by mid-January? I don't see a lot of work there.
* Will Dell consent to repair my old laptop and will Bluelink deliver
my new laptop?
Features
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of features got moved to 2.0, and this list is no longer an exact
copy of features.xml.
KOffice
* Zoomed printout
* Native OpenDocumentfor KWord, KSpread, KPresenter and KChart
* Add new templates
* Better handling of templates (including bugs #38715, #38717, #51787,
#76297 and #76298) Peter Simonssen is working on this, namely ordering
and showing certain templates based on internationalisation).
KPresenter
* Port atf file to svg format
* Use multi layer into kpresenter page (as in ooimpress)
* Sync object background dialogbox and page background dialogbox
* Create other object effect
KSpread
* Port kotext (nobody working on this?)
* Move sheets (fixed)
* Improved format storage (Raphael promised to work on this, plus
work on formatting has been done)
* Format/Layout options for Calendar plugin (raphael)
Krita
* Colorspace independent tools and filters
* Full-features image separation plugin
* Bird's eyeview widget

* Make floodfill colorspace independent
* Allow both simply setting the profile and converting to the new profile
* Fix image resolution handling
* Anti-aliased filling with colorspace mix colors function

we have now. Illisius is working on this.

example script for HTML export) Done!

Discarded bugs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KWord
41752: handling of tables is extremely inconvenient (there are 32 bugs about
tables open.) Too much effort to fix for 1.5
33415: Language property isn't used for spellchecking. Thomas says: wishlist
56085: some pixel lines of the text are displayed in header and footer frames
when scrolling. Maintainer says: fix with Qt4.
57856: KWord: non-underlined characters in underlined style: wontfix because
of old file format.
94308: export loses headers formatting gratuitously: would be nice to fix, but
maintainer says no showstopper
106029: Frame background color madness: would improve usability, but no
showstopper.
114287: massive failure to load simple ODT document: cannot fix because
dependent on OpenDocument committee decision.
KSpread
59510: Handles large spreadsheets "extremely" poorly. Too much effort to fix
for 1.5 (Ariya's new DOM stuff should help here, so it may get fixed
after all.)
Karbon
72922: Karbon renders colors incorrectly on ppc (too hard to fix with current
renderer)
KPresenter
37715: wrong encoding in greek powerpoint documents import (Maintainer says no
showstopper)
67086: KPresenter: OOo Impress import loses slide design (Maintainer says no
showstopper)
