Available for immediate testing are the source tarball and
community builds of Apache OpenOffice 4.1.4-RC2.
As noted, these are Release Candidates and are not official,
GA releases, although based on testing, the could become so.
So PLEASE test these out!
You can find these gems at:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.4-RC2/
thanks a lot - also to Matthias - for providing these builds.
I was impatient and have downloaded them already on the weekend. The
following is what I've tested:
- Windows 10
- Fedora 21 64-bit
- AOO414m2 (build 9785) rev 1804788 - en-US
1.
Installation was fine without problems.
2.
Randomly downloaded from Internet and then opened without problems
[1]:
5 files with .doc and 5 .docx
5 files with .xls and 5 .xlsx
5 files with .ppt and 5 .pptx
3.
Created documents, saved and opened them without problems:
.odt, .ods, .odp
.doc, .xls, .ppt
Then installed the langpack for "de" and opened the downloaded and
self-created files. Again without any problems [1].
Is there anything else I should test?
[1] Of course I've not checked that everything is displayed and
formatted correctly.
Thanks

On Linux-32, CentOS 6.9, I've done preliminary testing on my own docs,
and a few sample docs I downloaded. I also verified that #i125147, and
#i125762 were fixed. Mostly all good with my testing on Rev. 1804788 so
far.
great, thanks for testing and sharing the results.
I am not really much of an Impress/Powerpoint user and I did add a
"task" issue for someone to take a look at:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127514
that includes a link to a PPT file that includes both sound and video
clips which didn't seem to do anything on my system. It could be my
system setup though.
A quick test on Linux (but 4.1.3) showed no video and sound. However,
it's always a difficult way to get this working on Linux. Will try it
with 4.1.4 on Windows and another Linux on the weekend.
Marcus
Using linux (Xubuntu) systems I could never get video to work in .odp
presentations in 4.1.3 in any format, although the video file(s) would play
properly using either Parole (the system video player) or VLC. I have just
tried an .mpg file in 4.1.4 RC2: no success ("Format not supported"
message).
As a workaround I insert hyperlinks to the target video file(s) with
suitable parameters for full screen and exit after the video, which works
well for my use of videos. It would be good if proper video support could
be got working in OO (possible target for 4.2.0?)
I haven''t tried with sound files, but I expect the situation is similar.
Thanks to you and Marcus for this information. I forgot to add that I
routinely install the Freedesktop "desktop interface". I'm sure it's some
sort of Linux environment settings that aren't be detected correctly.
And, if this is the case, on Linux, it is not unusual that the default
locations get changed and/or the names themselves. When I get a moment, I
will investigate further.

I'm willing to test any interim versions you may need tested - I run Xubuntu 64
16.04.03.
