The presence or absence of a specific feature or function being on the roadmap, does not preclude it from being in a future version of the program. Ideally, there will at least one version of a future program that can read/write passwords created by the current algorithm, and by the proposed/future password algorithm. >in that there will always be an Open Office allied program capable of >unlocking their password protected format? In as much as there is off the shelf software, that is not related to OpenOffice.org, that can read/write passwords created using either the current algorithm, and the former algorithm, I'm fairly confident that any future algorithm changes to password creation, will be incorporated into that off the shelf non-OOo related software. {That the software is available, does not mean that it will display the password, within a human lifetime.} ##### >From a security perspective, the password protection offered by LibreOffice, Apache Open Office, etc, is roughly equivalent to closing the door and windows of a house. jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
