Release Notes: missing screenshots
Paolo is now coordinating volunteers that are translating the Release
Notes into Italian, and while quickly reviewing the original document
https://cwiki.apache.org/OOOUSERS/aoo-34-incubating-release-candidate.html
I have the impression that some paragraphs would be much clearer with a
screenshot or a sample document. For example, does anyone have more
information on the following items?
- Further development/bug fixes for DOCX import filter
(a sample DOCX to test, or a screenshot showing the progress in import
would be very useful)
- Enhanced chart visualization
(is this backend only or user-visible? if it's the latter, is there an
ODF available to test?)
- Formula: Automatic baseline for Math objects
(while it is well explained, again having a sample ODF file or
screenshots would help, since Math isn't the most popular module)
Thanks,
Andrea.

Thanks! This is a really impressive improvement that surely deserved a
screenshot. See the striking comparison (400% zoom of 3D chart) at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/27835830/aoo340-charts.png?version=1&modificationDate=1336337745300
that I now included in the Release Notes:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Release+Notes
I didn't copy the image to
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.0.html
Anyone who is taking care of that page: please feel free to copy it.
Does anyone have more information for a similar work (displaying the
improvement with a screenshot) for the following two features, from my
original request?
- Formula: Automatic baseline for Math objects
- Further development/bug fixes for DOCX import filter
Regards,
Andrea.

Hi...I am just looking for the release notes to finish up some work on the
new DL index page. Could you please upload this doc to
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/
and name it--
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.0.html
in line with the others.
Thanks.

It basically means that internally the graphic objects are not exchanged
using a metafile in old metafile format with integer coordinates, but
primitves are used directly with all their possibilities. This removes two
transformation steps and avoids losing quality, thus being faster and
qualitatively better, e.g. when having charts with more than 65535 data
points (the maximum for polygons in metafiles). Also positions are better
due to double precision when zooming in or needing high resolutions. The
main advantage is that 3d charts do not need to be visualized as bitmaps
(metafiles do not know 3d at all, thus they need to be transported as
bitmap), but stay in 3d geometry for visualisation. To see the advantages,
try to zoom into a 3d chart in OOO3.3 and AOO3.4. This also gives enhanced
printing and exports, too. One of the features which were forgotten to be
mentioned in some publications recently...
