FWIW ... The change was announced ages ago: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openoffice-dev/201404.mbox/raw/%3C5345E952.8060909%40apache.org%3E
But of course there were good reasons to wait after the release before committing it.
About the argument of the value behind the changes, some of the changes touched some user visible strings, but well ... by the sheer size you might imagine how long it took to get to it, time that would have otherwise been spent over a period of .. perhaps many years. It is rather unelegant for an Office suite to have such mistakes and I was not able to fix them all though.
There are some really ugly issues that I am sure I am not the first to notice: some text files appear as binaries or are encoded in some format that break the tools I used or caused trouble to svn diff.
In any case.. I don't forsee doing these type of titanic tasks again ;-). Pedro. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
