AFAIK there hasn't been any discussion on the topic, but is a logical consequence of switching the arch. from 32 to 64 bit. > I will add an action item to my to-do list to make a mention of this > in the release notes for the next release. The scenario is the following: - the user installed in 4.0.* an extension based on code written in C++, for example the PDF Import extension for Apache OpenOffice. OpenOffice and the extension code are both 32 bit on MacOSX - the user upgrades to 4.1.0, which is now 64 bit - OpenOffice 64 bit will use the same user profile as the previous 32 bit version, there is no profile migration; thus this profile contains a 32 bit extension that will not work with the new 64 bit OpenOffice. The Extensions Manager will display the 32 bit extension as disabled. Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
