I have taken a closer look and two of the extension improvements are probably not going to be visible to the end user. The important ones therefore are 78209 <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=78209> : Extension Manager: "Get Extensions" link which is actually going to be added to the extensions manager in the GUI 75869 <http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=75869> : Options Dialog for Extensions which allows an extension to modify the options dialog. The guide should explain that options for the extension will appear in the options dialog which therefore won't be "standard" BTW: is the extension manager covered at all? If I remember correctly this already existed in version 2.0 possibly earlier. Cheers, Michele
