UTF-8 encoding for dBase databases i62664   feature-info:
The character set restriction previously imposed on dBase databases has been relaxed: Previously, it was not possible to use an encoding where different characters are to be encoded to different by counts. For instance, in UTF-8 encoding, a single Unicode character might be encoded as one, two, or even more bytes. With CWS dba22ui, all such encodings, and UTF-8 in particular, are allowed (as long as the restrictions from http://dba.openoffice.org/specifications/character_sets.html still apply). When using such an encoding, be aware that the "field length" of dBase table columns becomes a somewhat fuzzy meaning: According to the dBase file format, the field length denotes the number of bytes reserved for data in this field. In the OOo user interface, people tend to assume that the field length means the maximum number of characters which can be written into the field. This is not true for the UTF-8 encoding anymore. As a consequence, when the user enters a string which has less characters than specified in the field length, but is encoded to more bytes than the field length, an error message is shown to the user, explaining the situation.

"Edit in SQL View..." command for database queries i64651   feature-info:
The database application now supports an additional command "Edit in SQL View...", which can be applied to one or more queries (i.e. is enabled when one or more queries are selected in the queries pane). This command is available from the query's context menu, as well as from the "Edit" menu of the application window. The specification at http://dba.openoffice.org/specifications/Database_application.sxw has been adjusted accordingly.

forms: date and time fields do not default to "Today" and "Now" anymore i6544   feature-info:
In database forms, date and time fields 'til recently had the habit to default to "Today" (the date fields) and "Now" (the time fields). That is, when you had such a field in your form, and wanted to enter a new record, then the fields were pre-filled with the current date respectively time. This behaviour, which is almost never desired, has been changed - the fields are not pre-filled anymore.

query/relation design: visual marker indicating the type of table/query i69246   feature-info:
With the implementation of the "queries in queries" feature, it is no possible to add both tables and queries to other queries. In the graphical query designer, this means that now, it was not possible to recognize whether a given existent object denoted a query or table. To visualize the difference, the windows which represent a table resp. query now show the proper object icon (table or query) in the upper left corner. Additionally, linked text tables in HSQLDB, which since a while ago have a dedicated icon, are also represented with this icon. Furthermore, the same applies to the relation designer (which cannot include queries, but tables and linked tables).
frank.schoenheit@sun.com
dba
advanced database setting: "Use keyword AS before table alias names" i72252   feature-info:
In the advanced database settings (menu: Edit / Database / Advanced Settings, dialog page: special settings) a new option is available, called "Use keyword AS before table alias names". This option is enabled if and only if "Append the table alias name on SELECT statements" option is checked, and itself checked by default for newly created databases. When checked, SQL statements generated by Base will use the AS keyword as follows: SELECT * FROM "table" AS "table" When not checked, the above statement would look like SELECT * FROM "table" "table" The first option is more human readable, the second option is required by some databases (Oracle ODBC, in particular).

Annoying focus behavior of OOo was fixed i19976   feature-info:
When a document is loaded in the OOo GUI a view is created at the end of the loading process. Until now OpenOffice.org always grabbed the focus to the window of this view. This is very annoying when a large document was loaded and the user sent OOo to the background as he wants to do something else while the document is loading. At the end of the loading process the document suddenly was brought to front and disturbed the user in what he was doing at this time (on WinXP it might flicker in the taskbar only when the focus meanwhile was transferred to a different application). Now OOo will bring the window to front (or starts flickering the window in the task bar) only when a modal dialog was opened in the OOo document window as part of the loading process (e.g. a dialog asking for granting execution of macros). The window could have been left in the background even in this case. But as modal dialogs could prevent OOo from opening other documents until they are closed, users might get confused if they didn't notice that their first document is still blocked by a dialog waiting for being closed by the user. As part of the fix for this annoying user interface bug it was was also fixed that dialogs opened in the loading time sometimes had the wrong parent window what especially created problems in the GUI test tool. As this bug fix has an impact on the visual experience of OOo I found it's appropriate to send out this notification thought it's neither an enhancement nor a feature change.

Extension Dependency OpenOffice.org-minimal-version i70774   feature-info:
Originally, it was planned to introduce actual extension dependencies (see ) on a by-need basis. No needs for extensions depending on features introduced in OOo 2.1 have been claimed. However, kso raised concern for the following scenario: after OOo 2.1 has been released, someone writes an extension that does depend on features introduced in OOo 2.1. That extension cannot declare its dependencies adequately, unless we do introduce a dependency now. (Which has the consequence that people will assume that for future versions similar dependencies with value="2.2" etc. will also be available.) Formally, the dependency is an empty XML element whose name consists of the namespace name "http://openoffice.org/extensions/description/2006" and the local part "OpenOffice.org-minimal-version". It shall have two attributes, namely the "name" attribute required for every dependency and an attribute with unprefixed name "value" whose value is the string representation of an OOo version starting with OOo 2.1 (in which case the value is the string "2.1"). The dependency is fulfilled if and only if the value of the current OOo version is (element-by-element lexicographically) greater than or equal to the specified value.

Export COT, ACOT, COTH, and ACOTH to MS Excel files i72768   feature-info:
The Excel export filter now handles the cotangent functions COT, ACOT, COTH, and ACOTH which are not contained in Microsoft Excel. The filter replaces the functions by the related tangent functions: Cotangent: COT(x) is replaced with (1/TAN(x)) Arccotangent: ACOT(x) is replaced with (PI/2-ATAN(x)) where PI/2 is given as numerical constant Hyperbolic cotangent: COTH(x) is replaced with (1/TANH(x)) Hyperbolic arccotangent: ACOTH(x) is replaced with ATANH(1/(x)) with "x" being any simple or complex expression. Note the additional parentheses which are needed to preserve correct operator precedence, for example: COT(1)^2 is correctly replaced by (1/TAN(1))^2 instead of the wrong 1/TAN(1)^2.

Online Update for Extensions i70481 Online Update for Extensions Extensions are often improved over a period of time. That is, publishers ship new versions of the same extension with added functionality and/or bug fixes. Currently users must update their extensions manually, that is, find out where to get an update, get the update, remove old extensions, install the new extension. This feature will make updating easier. Users can run the update mechanism from the Extension Manager. A dialog will show available updates and the user will be able to choose which to install. Joachim Lingner (JL) speclink framework
Localization of UNO Dialogs i71400 Translation Inside Dialog IDE Localization of software products is very important for a higher acceptance of the software.

For example, if the cell content was the string "1st", dragging the handle results in cells 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ... If the original cell was an "edit cell" (formatted with in-cell attributes), for example because the AutoCorrection option "Replace 1st... with 1^st..." was enabled when entering "1st", the ordinal suffix will have the superscript attribute.

osl[in|de]crementInterlockedCount(): don't use "lock" prefix on single processor, single core, non HT machines

The sal functions osl[in|de]crementInterlockedCount() use atomic operations to
increment and decrement a counter. On all x86 platforms this is done with a
"lock xadd" prefix. "Lock" means here to lock the bus, a quite expensive
operation on pre HyperThreading Intel processors and quite uncessary if there is
only one non HT, single core processor in the system (xadd with prefix is around
8 times slower on some processors than without prefix). The new implementation checks if we are on
a single processor single core non HT machine and leaves the "lock" prefix out
in this case.

Some benchmarks:

1) Just excercising os[in|de]crementInterlockedCount 100.000.000 times each.
Times are in seconds user time (Unix) resp. wall clock time (Windows).

Platform: Processor: hr39: m182:
Solaris x86 2x3.06 GHz Xeon 13.26 13.23
Solaris x86 1x800 Mhz AMD 10.44 13.95 !
Solaris x86 2.2 Ghz Opteron 3.66 3.93
Solaris x86 1.8 Ghz Pentium IV 3.76 23.61 !

Linux x86 2x3.06 GHz Xeon 13.14 13.09
Linux x86 1.8 Ghz Pentium IV 4.47 24.81 !

Windows 2x3.06 GHz Xeon 13.86 13.83
Windows 1.8 Ghz Pentium IV 3.43 23.83 !

2) Starting soffice, loading the spreadsheet "numbers_large.ods"
(which is kinda pathologic in its loading behavior), closing
the office. Times are in seconds user time.

Platform: Processor: hr39: m182:

Clean up obsolete files in binfilter. Additionally strip all line which start with the //STRIP001 and //auto strip markers.

Removes ~1200 files, and ~1.5 million lines from binfilter.

Some statistics (including two ealier clean up CWSs by rt and by me):

SRC680 m177 hr38

Disk usage (source only): 148 MBytes 75 MBytes
Files: 6896 4998
Lines: 3.53 million 1.71 million
Compiled files (wntmsci10): 2253 1827
Comp. time (wntmsci10, f. local): 3:58:30 2:35:59


This will not be the last clean up CWS, because there are still 129 object files which don't export symbols, thus are no longer needed. This means we can kill an estimated 300 hundred more files from binfilter.
