Re: What does "supported" mean for us?

Hi, So is Vista supported? It certainly isn't deprecated. But neither is it getting the full QA treatment. Similar questions for Linux releases. We don't test every release of every distro. We pick the major ones, such as the Ubuntu LTS releases. on Vista I would be surprised if AOO won

Andrea: thx for your observations. With the very low activity we have on trunk, there might be no reason for statistics. I am simply just used to a more comfortable and flexible build system. If I want to check my l10n changes on different platforms I have to (or so I have been told) merge it to

Hi Michael, thanks for the continued work, I like it more than the prev ones. Still, for my taste, it is too complicated. I honour to try to add information about the available applications, but - for a logo, it's too complicated. The big plus with the orb is it's *simplicity* from my POV.
