Hi all, I know this is likely to irk folks a little here, but has any thought been given to the potential problems that the release of Mac OSX Lion is going to cause to users of LibreOffice. Browsing the ESC meeting summaries does not seem to indicate that this has been considered or discussed yet, at least publicly. The only reason I ask, aside from the fact that I (and others) will no doubt have to deal with the incoming flak on the users list and on bugzilla is that the people over at NeoOffice have published this list of already solved problems and potential other problems :
http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/Lion_Upgrade_Issues Well, of course, we all know that Neo is more heavily dependent on Java for the implementation of some of its functionality, and thus may be impacted by Apple's switch to OpenJDK, but I'm more concerned about the fact that, if the Neo team is to be believed (and I'm willing to admit some hype here on Neo's part), we will be using deprecated system interfaces for copy/pasting, and text layout/rendering, and visual display problems will be present, such as the OSX menubar and combo or listboxes will not display or be updated correctly. Additionally, it appears that Neo will implement the "Versions" feature that Apple have built-in to OSX Lion, and has already re-introduced native file locking (to be honest, I haven't tried this yet on my OSX network). Thoughts anyone ? Alex _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
