I've now pushed my "odf-1.3" branch upstream, which has some initial ODF
1.3 compatibility patches, a patch adding a new constraint for the RECEIVED
function, and another to only make the upgrade dialog appear when version >
1.3.

There are 3 useful parts to the ODF 1.3 specification, part 2 dealing with
packaging, part 3 with the OpenDocument schema, and part 4 with
OpenFormula. So far I've mostly been developing part 4. Of the 34 issues
under part 4, 20 are now complete, which means part 4 development is
already 59% complete.

from zero to 59% in a few days. That's great.! :-)

So far only 1 issue needed a code change, and at least 1 more also will,
but the impression I get is that the vast majority of changes were made not
because ODF 1.3 is hugely different from ODF 1.2, but because parts of ODF
1.2 were wrong or ambiguous and they wanted to fix the specification for
the sake of better interoperability with other implementations (probably
Microsoft Office). A lot of the design decisions seem to have been made in
favour of AOO/LO, standardizing on how we already work, leaving us with
little or nothing to change :-).

That's interesting. So, when we want to support ODF 1.3 we just need to change / implement little code. That means also that no bigger or many problems should occur. At least this is my hope.
Even better.

Confluence has been working surprisingly well.

:-)

Would anyone like to help?

If you mean coding, then you have to teach me C++ first. ;-P
Honestly, here I won't be of any help. Other things depend.

Before we bring this into a release, we should discuss and define how we want or should offer the ODF 1.3 support.

My suggestion:

Instead of putting this as a selectable option in the Save dialog, we should add this to the other ODF version parts (see menu "Tools - Options - Load/Save - General - Default file format and ODF settings").

I don't know how loading is working. But I would expect that the header data is read and the ODF version is recognized with some magic numbers.
