Question regarding LO 7.1 release notes: Did any previously "experimental features" mature?

2021-01-11 Thread Gerry T.
Dear all, with regard to the release notes for LibreOffice 7.1 I'd like to pose following question: Several features in release 7.0 (and before) were marked as "experimental" and, thus, accessible only in experimental mode. Did any of these features mature and move out of experimental status for

Hi Michael, in the medium/long run, the *ODFDOM changes* approach might be quite promising for both LibreOffice desktop and Libre/CollaboraOffice Online. Probably still enormous effort in the LibreOffice core, but it seems to be a future-proof concept. The concept that Svante has been working on

Hi there, I'd like to contact the list regarding a crasher bug in Writer that bugs me a lot, because I think many of the crashes I get with a long document I am working on are somewhat related to this bug. And, unfortunately, LibreOffice 4.1.x is not super stable with long documents compared

Hi Philipp, [...] I finished creating a table that compares the major points for both word processors as a proof of concept. Should I continue with that work also for Calc and Impress? In addition, I am not sure how to integrate the minor points... Maybe just adding them to the table as well...
