Well, many products have been producing documents identified as ODF 1.2 for some time. There are changes that came in during 2010 that, as far as I can tell, are not consistently handled yet. And the OpenFormula specification, a major part of ODF 1.2, will take some time to be fully implemented. (My eye is on Gnumeric for moving the goal posts on that one.)
There will doubtless be far more attention to ODF 1.2 conformance and interoperability, in detail, now that ODF 1.2 is considered stable and especially as it works its way toward ratification as an ISO/IEC International Standard next year. Some regrettable small things in ODF 1.2 are also showing up and I look forward to plugfests and the work of the ODF Interoperability and Conformance TC to help sort those out and find workarounds until there can be ODF 1.2 Errata or remedy in ODF 1.3. There is no official "ODF 1.2 (extended)" only "ODF 1.2" if interoperability is desired. "(extended)" is a private matter and it might not be the same between products and even different releases of the same product. Whatever "(extended)" means, it depends on the individual-product implementers to say. I agree that, in terms of current releases that might have more attention to ODF 1.2 provisions, LibreOffice is a good choice, depending on what additional ODF 1.2 support is important and being provided. I don't think that is a determining factor in much I've seen so far, though. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Tom Davies [mailto:tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2011 04:56 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: OASIS Standard ODF 1.2 Approved Hi :) All releases of LibreOffice have used the 1.2 (Extended) by default. I think OpenOffice was using it for quite a long time before that too. I think the only program that still uses the older 1.1 or 1.0 formats is MS Office 2010. I think Google-docs, KOffice, Calligra, AbiWord & Gnumeric (together those 2 form Gnome Office) and the IBM's Lotus Symphony (or whatever it's called) all have been using 1.2 for a few years. In LibreOffice you can confirm by clicking on Tools - Options - "+ Load/Save" - General about half-way down there is a drop-down showing "1.2 (Extended)". I usually change this to the older 1.0/1.1 in order to be able to send stuff to MS Office users more easily. If you do have an older program then install any version of LibreOffice instead! ;) Lol Regards from Tom :) --- On Sat, 1/10/11, Pedro <pedl...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Pedro <pedl...@gmail.com> Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: OASIS Standard ODF 1.2 Approved To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Saturday, 1 October, 2011, 10:39 Congratulations to all. I believe that a solid open file format is extremely important. Am I correct to assume that ODF 1.2 is backward compatible? I.e. an old application will still be able to open a ODF 1.2 document? Dennis, one curiosity since you were one of the editors: I assume you didn't use LO Writer to compose the 1217 page document. Which program did you use? Scribus? -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/OASIS-Standard-ODF-1-2-Approved-tp3384139p3384633.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
