[RELEASE] finishing release notes
Hi,
our vote for releasing AOO401rc3 as AOO 4.0.1 went well and we are about
to release this version.
Hereby I request everybody to have a look at the current draft release
notes for AOO 4.0.1 [1] in order to complete and 'tuned' them.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0.1+Release+Notes
Best regards, Oliver.
P.S.: Personally, I am currently not sure about mentioning in the
release notes that the performance of the saving .xls files had been
improved.

I took an editing pass at the release notes, with many small changes. Mainly:
1) Make 3rd party references correct, like "Microsoft Windows, or "Mac
OS X" or "Apple iWork"
2) Cleaned up the list of fixed issues. Some of the descriptions
didn't make sense and would be hard to translate. Better to have
something simple and accurate. We could link to the relevant BZ issue
of we wanted.
3) Small language corrections.
One thing I did not understand was the section that said "The QE team
has been tracking additional fixes as well. See their complete reports
at:" Is that really useful for users? If there are other fixes
shouldn't they already be in the Bugzilla query we link to? I'd
recommend taking this section out of the Release Notes unless it is
adding something new.

Is the claim (230% improvement) accurate? If so we should state it.
But maybe list it as a bug fix?

Hi Ricardo,
well, I am not a natuar english speaker. I wanted to express that for e.g 1600x1200 the size was limited to a scaled smaller one to not get in danger to use too much internal memory. For the expressed export case with given pixel size this limit is highly expanded now. There is still an internal limit to avoid mem crashes, though.
When some natural english speaker can express that in one sentence I will be happy to replace the sentence :-)
HTH!

Now that we are talking about translations :) I cannot understand this
phrase
"When exporting a bitmap graphic with a given pixel size it is used up to
very large values"
so I have no idea how to translate it into Spanish.

Also having more translations is encouraged.

Many users complained about the XLS file saving performance. For them
the considerable performance increase of 4.0.1 relative to 4.0.0 is
quite noteworthy. Whether such a change is a fix, a boost, an
enhancement, an improvement or just a task done is a point that could
fill a whole dissertation. Whether these distinct terms overlap or not
or how much opens another research topic for linguists. But I think we
can agree that it is noteworthy.

That was a section added to the 3.4 release notes which I carried over
into the template that I created from those. It appears that the QE
folks are no longer using that wiki for the weekly reports and I planned
to take it out of the 4.0.1 Release Notes as well as the template this
evening .
