Update on openSUSE + LibreOffice Conference

Organizers of the openSUSE + LibreOffice Conference had a meeting this week to discuss various topics surrounding COVID19 and how it may affect the conference and planning for it. At this point, it is uncertain what restrictions governments may keep in place in the coming months. While October is some months away, there are many aspects we are considering as to how to run the event, including travel restrictions, flights, hotel and venue availability, event capacity and our community members’ ability to attend the conference. We hope to make a decision about the conference at the latest by mid-June.

In these difficult times, we want to assure our communities that we are actively engaged in a good outcome for all members, sponsors and interested parties involved with a successful openSUSE + LibreOffice Conference. We are looking at alternatives for the conference like possibly doing a virtual conference and exploring what tools might help us to achieve this should we decide it’s a viable option.

Please remember that the Call for Papers is open and people can submit their talks until July 21. We are moving forward, assuming the conference will take place as planned from October 13 to October 16 in Nurnberg, and will keep our communities informed of any decisions we make regarding the plans for the conference and any alternative options like a virtual conference. Stay safe, healthy and strong during these hard times and we hope to see all of you later this year; celebrating together our anniversary under much better circumstances!

Indonesian LibreOffice community: Online translation marathon

Communities around the world help to translate and localise LibreOffice in over 100 languages. We really appreciate their efforts! Even when they can’t meet in person, they hold online events to make progress, as Ahmad Haris reports:

March 28, 2020: The Indonesian LibreOffice community held an online translation marathon, which focused on the user interface. Normally, we have in-person meetings for such translating marathons, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we held it online. We use Jitsi and deploy to our community server. The results were quite positive, since we’re heading towards reaching 100% translation. Only a few strings (21) remain untranslated because we also use the same string in the Indonesian language.

A big thanks to everyone in the Indonesian LibreOffice community who took part! Everyone around the world is welcome to join our translation projects and make LibreOffice accessible for all, regardless of language or location. It’s a great way to use your skills, contribute to a well-known FOSS project, and have fun!

LibreOffice monthly recap: March 2020

Here’s our summary of updates, events and activities in the LibreOffice project in the last four weeks – click the links to learn more. March was a difficult month for many people around the world, so we’d like to say en extra big thank you to everyone who contributed time and effort to our software and community.

  • LibreOffice includes a wide range of features for home users and professionals, but it can be extended further. We’re working on a new extensions and templates website, with a streamlined design and improved usability for authors and users. We’ll post more updates on this blog as it progresses!

  • Open Badges for LibreOffice is a new service we’ve set up, crediting members of the community for their work. Open Badges are PNG images that are awarded to contributors for reaching a certain threshold – such as a number of commits to the codebase, or answering questions on Ask LibreOffice. But these images are something special: they contain metadata describing the contributor’s work, which can be verified using an external service.

  • Petr Valach from the Czech LibreOffice community reported back from InstallFest 2020 in Prague, which took place on February 29 and March 1. We really appreciate the help of our Czech supporters for spreading the word about LibreOffice!

  • LibreOffice 6.4.2 was released on March 19. It’s the second revision release of the 6.4.x series, and includes over 90 bugfixes and compatibility improvements.

Keep in touch – follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Mastodon. Like what we do? Support our community with a donation – or join us and help to make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

New integration test framework in Collabora Online.

Introduction

At Collabora, we invest a lot of hard work to make LibreOffice's features available in an online environment. Recently we greatly improved the Collabora Online mobile UI, so it's more smooth to use it from a mobile device. While putting more and more work into the software, trying to support more and more different platforms, we need also to spend time improving the test frameworks we use for automatic testing. These test frameworks make sure that while we enrich the software with new features, the software remains stable during the continuous development process.

End-to-end testing in the browser

One step on this road was the integration of cypress.io test framework into Collabora Online code. cypress.io is an end-to-end test run in the browser, so any online application can be tested with it. It mainly allows us to simulate user interaction with the UI and check the event's results via the website's DOM elements. That allows us to simulate user stories and catch real-life issues in the software, so our quality measurement matches the actual user experience.

When I investigated the different alternatives for browser testing I also checked the Selenium test framework. I didn't spend more than two days on that, but I had an impression that Selenium is kind of "old" software, which tries to support many configurations, many language bindings which makes it hard to use and also makes it stuck in the current state, where it is. While cypress.io is a newer test framework, which seems more focused. It is easier to integrate into our build system and easier to use, which is a big plus because it's not enough to integrate a test framework, but developers need to learn how to use it too. I saw one advantage of Selenium: the better browser support. It supports all the main browsers (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer), while cypress.io mainly supports only Chrome, but it improves on this area. Now it has a beta Mozilla Firefox support. So finally I decided to use cypress.io and I'm happy I did that because it nicely works.

cypress.io in Collabora Online

So cypress.io is now integrated into the Collabora Online code and we already have 150 tests mainly for mobile UI. As we submit most of our work to upstream, these tests are also available in the community version of the software. It's integrated into the software's GNU make based build system, so a make check will run these tests automatically. This is also part of the continuous integration system, so we can catch any regression instantly, before it actually hits the code. It's recommended to all developers of the online code to get familiar with the test framework, so it will be easier to understand if a test failure indicates an issue in their proposed patch. There are a set of useful notes in the source code, in the readme file: [source_dir]/cypress_test/README. Next to that, I try to add some good advice in the following paragraphs, how to investigate if any cypress test is failing on your patch.

How to check a test failure?


Interactive test runner

When you run make check the cypress tests are run in headless mode, so you can't see what happens on the UI, while the tests are running. If you see a test failure, the easiest way to understand what happens is to check it in the interactive test runner. To do that you can call make run-mobile or make run-desktop depending on what kind of test you are interested in. In interactive mode, you'll get a window, where you can select a test suite (*_spec.js file) and run that test suite only.

After you select a test suite you'll see the tests running in the browser. It's fast so probably you can't follow all the steps, but after the tests are finished you can select the steps and check screenshot for every step, so you can follow the state of the application. This way you can see how the application gets to a failure state.

Can't reproduce a failure in the interactive test runner

Sometimes, it happens that a test failure is reproducible only in headless mode. There are more options, that you can do in this case. First, you can check a screenshot taken at the point when the test failed. This screenshot is added automatically into a separate folder:

[source_dir]/cypress_test/cypress/screenshots/

This screenshot shows only the failure state, which might not be enough. You can also use the cypress command log to write out important information into the console during a test run. You can do that using the cy.log() method, called from the JS test code (this is not equivalent to console.log() method). In the case of test failure, these logs are dumped on the console output. These logs are also available here:

[source_dir]/cypress_test/cypress/logs/

A third option is to enable video recording. With video recording, the cypress test framework will generate a video of the test run, where you can see the same thing that you would see in the interactive test runner. To enable video recording you need to remove "video" : false, line from [source_dir]/cypress_test/cypress.json file. After that, running make check will record videos for all test suites you are running and put them under videos folder:

[source_dir]/cypress_test/cypress/videos/

How to run only one test?

To run one test suite you can use the spec option:

make check-mobile spec=writer/apply_font_spec.js

This spec option can be used with check-mobile and check-desktop rules, depending on what kind of test you intend to run. This is the headless run, but in the interactive test runner, you also can do that by selecting one test suite from the list. With these options, you can run a test suite, but a test suite means more tests. If you would like to run only one test you need to combine a test suite run, with using only() method. You need to open the test suite file and add only() to the definition of the specific test case:

- it('Apply font name.', function() {
+ it.only('Apply font name.', function() {

So both the headless build and the interactive test runner will ignore any other tests in the same test suite. It's useful when somebody investigates why a specific test fails.

Summary

So that's it for now. I hope these pieces of information are useful for getting familiar with the new test framework. Fortunately, the cypress.io test framework provides us nice tools to write new tests and check test failures. I'm still working on the test framework to customize it to our online environment. Hopefully, using this test framework will improve software quality in the long term.

Document Freedom Day 2020

Document Freedom is based on Open Formats, such as ODF or Open Document Format, the ISO standard native file format of LibreOffice and other FOSS office suites.

What is an Open Format?

When you save a document on your computer, it is stored in a computer file. Whether it is a text file, a picture, a video or any other kind of work, it is saved with a specific coded structure, known as the file format.

To be able to share data, software programs must be able to communicate with each other. It implies that no barrier whatsoever may hinder the exchange of data and the related write or read operations. For such a seamless exchange to be possible, software programs are required to be “interoperable”.

Interoperability is guaranteed when it relies on open standards, i.e. public technical specifications, freely usable by everyone, without restriction nor compensation, and maintained by an open decision-making process. File formats based on these open standards are “Open Formats”.

Where software interoperability is set aside, or if a program editor does not give access to the key information for interoperability or if the file design recipe is kept undisclosed, or if the file design recipe is available but is not followed by the program, file formats are considered to be “closed” and do not allow interoperability. For a software user, choosing between an Open File Format or a closed one has a deep impact on the ownership of and the access to his/her own data and their availability over time.

What are the benefits of Open Formats?

  • Open Format documents are readable and writable, by oneself or by third parties.
  • Open Format document readability is guaranteed over time as the format evolves without disruptions.
  • Open Formats have the advantage of being freely usable by many software programs, enabling interoperability.
  • Open Formats support freedom of choice as they do not promote any company’s specific format. They help avoid the monopolistic position of software editors who aim at locking users through their own proprietary formats.

Free Software and open formats, the perfect duo!

Free Software are programs that offer four freedoms to users: the liberty to copy and to distribute the software to others, the right to use it for every kind of use, the right to study it in order to know its functioning, and the right to modify in order to improve it. Free Software designers usually favour existing Open Formats, and contribute to their evolution.

Furthemore, as Free Software developers publish their source code (the software design recipe), recording methods and format descriptions used are de facto distributed with the software.

Open Formats and Free Software share the same goals: to be at the service of eveyone and to ensure users the full ownership and control over their data as well as perennial availability of those data.

Let’s celebrate Document Freedom Day 2020 by sharing with other people the information about the importance of Open Formats. Create your own DFD Dove.

My hack week at Collabora: (start of) padded numbering in Writer

As mentioned in a previous such report, a hack week is when we are allowed to hack on anything we want in LibreOffice for a few days at Collabora. I used this time to implement core support for padded numbering in Writer.

Motivation

Padded numbering is a style where you insert 0 characters in front of an otherwise normal (Arabic) numbering, making sure that the result always has at least N characters. Up to now, you had to number your content manually to have this effect, while Word supports this feature.

OOXML supports padding up to 2, 3, 4 and 5 characters. Padding up to 2 characters is the older feature, supported in DOC and RTF as well, so I focused on that piece.

Results so far

Here is how the current, the baseline and the reference rendering of padded numbering looks like:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/n-XvNw0xPkBK_u9eqVraa7meGxYPX8dpKtfmHkN54y60x5HvUhQBouGEnfLX3XjzQFDjG7oWhCGVvFLnINneGZwDIjB8FW1hgwYSEpWrt3kniLGeKNFAfpa_Y9NGHNadj50ecy3FVw=s300-p-k
Figure 1. numbering-padded2.docx, current

Figure 2. numbering-padded2.docx, baseline
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TXI-klcS5xzPUX0SaV_iqhweMcUX0aN1rc7rwwAbKdulmPYZ6wcYqcQTO94aHGZl_p4FuVSt_drCI1blKRHLupNjC6j08GjdppbkJ8o72xNmjpV_X2_LcPUgZmOfGBeUJRhDKptxqg=s300-p-k
Figure 3. numbering-padded2.docx, reference

You can see how 0 is inserted before 1..9, but not before 10.

How is this implemented?

If you would like to know a bit more about how this works, continue reading… :-)

Then I found that footnote numbering needs explicit handling, so added support for padding in that case as well:

Finally I had a little bit of remaining time, so I extended support for the recently added Chicago numbering:

Future work

Padding up to 3, 4 and 5 characters would be possible to do, but it’s DOCX-only, and uses a different markup, planned to be done later.

All this is available in master (towards LibreOffice 7.0), so you can grab a daily build and try it out right now. :-)

Sukapura is a new LibreOffice icon theme

Rizal Muttaqin has added a new icon theme into LibreOffice. Its name is Sukapura. That icon theme will be a default theme for a new LibreOffice installation in macOS. It looks very nice for me.
The Sukapura icon theme will available in future LibreOffice 7.0 release.
But, if you want, you can install it right now using a Rizal's extension.

Navigator imprevements by Jim Raykowski

Jim Raikowski, one from LibreOffice's developers, has made many very nice Navigator improvements for Writer and Calc.
- Navigator's categories are gray if they don't have any items. It works in Writer and in Calc Navigators.
- New items Go To, Edit, Delete, Rename were added for all objects context menu in Writer's Navigator (Headings, Tables, Frames, Images, etc.)
- New items Promote/Demote level and Promote/Demote chapter were added to Headings context menu in Writer's Navigator
- Added a new feature "Outline tracking" for Headings in Writer's Navigator. You'll can find it in Hedings context menu in the Navigator. It can be in three states: Default, Focus, Off. Try click by your mouse in several place in your big text document with many headings. You'll see that Headings in Navigator will be selected automatically according to text cursor position.
- It was replaced the navigation toolbox with the navigate by elements control. 
It all will be available in future LibreOffice 7 release in early August 2020. But you already can try it right now if you'll install a LibreOffice's daily build from https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html.
Thanks Jim for your great work!

Collabora Community

Collabora brings smooth editing to Android and iOS

Cambridge, February 27th, 2020, 12:00 CET – Today we are releasing Collabora Office for Android and iOS which will allow you to edit documents directly on your phone or tablet, guaranteeing your privacy and putting you in full control of your data and documents. This release fully integrates the iOS and Android apps into our Collabora Office product family. They are now a supported part of our business suite and come with every Collabora Office Enterprise subscription. Take a look: it’s a great app: feature rich, providing smooth editing, a polished user experience and lots of design goodness.

Rich editing for mobile devices – developed with your privacy in mind!

Collabora Office for Android and iOS
From opening … to viewing … to a rich editing experience

Collabora Office for Android   (minimal version 5.0) and iOS is fully open source and brings you slick and useful editing features, like rich copy and paste, that the competition fails to deliver.
The app does not depend on external storage or services, so can be used offline. There is no longer a reason to hand over your data to somebody else to get rich mobile editing. Thus you can regain control over your documents and edit them without compromising your privacy!

One-handed touch tools for all sorts of editing

 

Collabora Office allows tables to be changed easily and in many ways. Handles in the document, as well as an attractive palette of tools, helps you perfect your table layout.
In our new mobile app, you will find the features where you expect them to be, giving you access to powerful functionality.

Slides and sheets at your fingertips

Choose layout and animations for presentations. A unique feature allows slide masters to be edited as well as applied.

Collabora Office for iOS and Android comes with a refined touch of usability. Sort the slides in your presentations using the convenient slide sorter. Scroll through the different sheets of your spreadsheet with the touch of a fingertip. Mobile document editing has never been easier and more fun.

Experience the polished user interface & design

Copy & paste rich text objects on mobile

Our mobile solution stands out from all its competitors because of the smooth way in which it facilitates editing on mobile devices. Collabora Office allows you to actually copy and paste rich document content on your iOS or Android device. Try it out!

Attractive icons and an attractive layout

Native platform document storage

Collabora Office gives you back control over your documents. This includes the freedom to decide where to store the documents you edit from your mobile device. Our app allows you to easily integrate with privacy respecting, open source storage services such as Nextcloud, ownCloud or Seafile as well as proprietary file services such as OneDrive, Dropbox etc. Naturally you can also store and edit documents locally on your device without an external storage space. We think it’s good to notice that all the features in Collabora Office are available for all users, independent if it’s for private or for business use.

Yet more polish

Smooth inertial scrolling has been added for this release, with significant work on performance and stability. We’ve added the ability to export to various different file formats, to provide a great collaboration and interoperability experience with the users of other apps. Many usability wins too numerous to mention have been implemented. We have bundled spell-checking for English, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and German for now – while we investigate shrinking the installation size to fit more. (Note selecting spell checking language currently is only on tablets.)

Two apps – one philosophy

Creating new document in iOS

Opening documents in the Android app

Last year, we paved the road so that the development of our mobile apps would be more consistent. In particular, the completely new development of the iOS app blazed the train. Both apps now share a substantially common codebase with our flagship product Collabora Online.

After our successful implementation on iOS, we re-used the same approach for our Android app. This replaced the existing LibreOffice Viewer code which had seen only very little activity for a long time, creating a fully functional and productive mobile office solution.

Welcome to the Collabora Office family

With today’s release, the apps for Android and iOS have officially become a part of our Collabora Office for Enterprise product. The family is now complete. These mobile apps complement Collabora Online and our existing desktop versions for Linux, MacOS and Windows. What does this mean for you? We can provide SLAs for our customers, as well as a close product management relationship to help steer our future development. Each improvement or issue addressed for one solution (online, mobile, desktop) can enhance all the others. Last but not least, it means the consistent and sustainable development of the mobile software.

For use on F-Droid, please use the APK file from this page.

Thanks to everyone who contributed!

Collabora invested huge effort and resources to bring into being a fully functional open source office suite for mobile devices. This success is built on the support of many individuals, the great LibreOffice community. Fundamentally this could not have been achieved without the support of SUSE, CloudOn, Smoose, Adfinis SyGroup and The Document Foundations’ generous historic donors. We cannot thank everyone involved enough for their passionate work. Please check our previous articles about the beta releases of the Android and iOS app, where we credit several of the people involved and where you can read more about their valuable contributions. All of our code is contributed to LibreOffice, and can be expected in LibreOffice 7, although we have our own theme. Would you like to be part of the story ? get involved today.

Semi-transparent text in Writer

The problem

Last year I posted about work to have semi-transparent rendering of not only shape fill and shape borders, but also shape text in Draw. Now the same semi-transparent text feature is available in Writer as well. This improves compatibility with Word, which supports the same feature in its DOCX format. You can access the new option in the Format → Character dialog.

Result

Here is how the new, old and reference rendering looks like:

You can get a snapshot / demo of Collabora Office and try it out yourself right now: try unstable snapshot. Collabora is a major contributor to LibreOffice and all of this work will be available in TDF’s next release too (7.0).

Russian LibreOffice Draw guide is updated to 6.3 version

You can download Russain LibreOffice Draw Guide6.3 by link.

Great Response to the LibreOffice Development Workshop at Free Software Winter Camp 2020

Every Winter the Anadolu University in Eskişehir, Turkey, hosts a large Free Software Winter Camp. This year it took place from Jan 25 – Jan 28, 2020, covering over 50 different classes with more than 40 different topics, and close to 1500 participants tutored by over 100 instructors. One of those classes was the LibreOffice Development Workshop, sponsored by Collabora Productivity.

For the four days of intensive training 20 students from all over the country were accepted. While the workshop itself was free, the participants were expected to cover the costs for travel and accommodation. This year 16 students showed for LibreOffice Development Workshop given by Collabora’s Muhammet Kara – a number which was a significant increase compared to the number from the previous year!

The participants of the LibreOffice Development Workshop at Free Software Winter Camp 2020.

In order to be accepted, the students had to have knowledge in C++, the principals of object-oriented programming, and at least user-level experience on a GNU/Linux system. During the workshop the 16 participants got familiar with the processes and tools of LibreOffice development and bug fixing.

Within the four days workshop the students contributed 64 commits, documented in the LibreOffice wiki. Two memorable examples of contributions were an important improvement by Onur Yilmaz for the Automatic Redaction feature and a Python script to analyse the LibreOffice code-base for styling issues written by Batuhan Taşkaya.

Muhammet Kara reported, that the feedback from the participants was very positive:

“Almost all pointed out that they have improved their development skills, and they would like to continue contributing.”

We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation once again to the effort of Muhammet, the Linux Users Association of Turkey and Anadolu University for providing this exceptional training opportunity. We look forward seeing more contributions from that dedicated group of participants.

Are you searching for a interesting open source project to join? Remember, you’re really welcome to participate in CODE – the Collabora Online Development Edition.

LibreOffice 6.4 RC3 is available

LibreOffice 6.4 RC3 is available for downloading now. There are builds for all main OS for 64 bit. There is a 32 bit build for Windows also. These builds are only for testing.
Links for direct downloading below:
Source code
Description of fixed bugs in LibreOffice 6.4 RC3 compare with LibreOffice 6.4 RC2 is by link.
If you found a bug in LibreOffice 6.4 RC3, then please file a bug reprort in our Bugzilla.
I think it's a latest test build before final LibreOffice 6.4 release. Possibly LibreOffice 6.4 RC3 will be a final release without any change as it already was before.

Improved rotated text handling in Writer's table rows with automatic height

Writer now has better support for rotated text in tables containing rows with automatic height. This post also presents two related fixes.

First, thanks Otevřená města who made this work by Collabora possible.

Before diving into improved rotated text handling, first a continuous section break import problem (tdf#128605) was fixed: this was a case when we created a new page style, but only a new section was intended. Here is how the fix looks:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ycsIqjpdm5t2n9FQQhKBbWobpsX2cQ0s-ugLn970XwuGafzL79HzNVly6dYUpLMhTQmZq8Aa36kaGIfWfk-MzYmuSr92zhRUxFk1aNqwDOnTy1cyyrRzCguuvp-Wd3LD8XXzo_Aurg=w640
Figure 1. Importing continuous section break, fixed
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/jLUVDTY3Z6-IWVCmSfia7ue_aSpXSG7YJK2WqhRCfJkdTgA3cVFRh8TiYZwKRut7vvC0yFkdGBzl9Wpv2auZpg6d84nmDI1gVHBZPmWsf_YA-5qD-SF8Uf2lBG7NOu9RcidR1bQ0ng=w640
Figure 2. Importing continuous section break, original

Figure 3. Importing continuous section break, reference

What you can see is that the continuous section break used to result in an unwanted page break, and this is gone now.

Regarding the actual rotated text handling (tdf#128611), there were two problems there:

  • There was a missing flip handling for line shapes

  • Poor layout of rotated text in table cells with automatic height

Here is how the fix looks like:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/GFCNQDcvXsN2w1ADVo10H16FUOYB8i6jBTrPad0r6qa8nt8PmDBDD1oiDfG9Zs9_3eVqdyB-O-u6oWIBAujcyso2utvnDpdE4Bs2PykeJkbh0vSYMZDSIKsjv7vI06j9HUCru2Z19w=w640
Figure 4. Rotated text in table cells with auto height, fixed (both flip of line and text layout)
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IqsWjKbTD03_wnvUMUe_QK1pqdTfZKizoNEHRQDQuvpw_O8mrEQ8AgNk_2qbP49QUpezknqHDxnhn0eYDpfZL833dXaClRPD1e4_wxuTj5mTRTeEgioBCX0djcWa5vNSRdPmnalphA=w640
Figure 5. Rotated text in table cells with auto height, fixed (only flip of line so far)
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2Tkkj7oz9Bm9ckPs5lTGwAGBRokEJ0MWxfqrbqu6afp6Xm1I77zft8riW-kTxKo4kJsO6bwMtaZb0XNToFssEc1kkZuzm0qk0H4eLU-xk8DOd-e5eVMtNR6cYD_1FRDWbCIYok1oJg=w640
Figure 6. Rotated text in table cells with auto height, original

Figure 7. Rotated text in table cells with auto height, reference

What you can see is that the line clearing the table cell had a vertical flip, which was lost on import. Also, the rotated text in the "row heading" cells was broken into multiple columns. Both are fixed now.

All this is available in LibreOffice master (towards 6.4), so you can try it out right now, if interested.

Collabora supports Free Software Winter Camp 2020 in Eskişehir, Turkey

Twenty-one students have been selected to take part in the LibreOffice Development Workshop at the Anadolu University, EskiÅŸehir, Turkey. It is held from Jan 25 to Jan 28 as a part of the Free Software Winter Camp 2020.

Collabora Sponsored LibreOffice Bootcamp in Ankara
Impression of the previous LibreOffice Bootcamp in Ankara

Collabora Productivity is one of the sponsors. Muhammet Kara, Collabora developer who is giving the LibrOffice training, explains that it’s not suitable for just every interested student.

“Of course enthusiasm is very important. But we also require students to have knowledge/experience with C++, and come with GNU/Linux installed on their laptops. And they will try to build LibreOffice before coming.”

This looks as a perfect match for students that followed for example the LibreOffice Bootcamp in Ankara… but there will be others for sure!
Muhammet tells about the program:

“During the camp, we will go through the usual stuff of getting started with LO development, code- structure, tips&tricks etc. And will work on bugs to gain hands-on experience.”

The accommodations will be provided by the Linux Users Association of Turkey, organizers of the event. Find details on the LibreOffice-wiki too.

Thanks Muhammet, Linux Users Association of Turkey and Anadolu University for making this possible!
Of course we wish the participants good luck, and keep an eye on github for LibreOffice or online 😉

Intersecting Intel & AMD Instruction Set Extensions

In some of my projects, I’ve recently had the need to utilize FMA (fused-multiply-add) or AVX instructions. Compiling C/C++ on X86_64 will by default only activate MXX and a few of the early SSE extensions. The utilized instruction set basically predates the core2 which was introduced in 2006. Math…

Accessibility checker and support for PDF/UA specs

PDF/UA or ISO 14289 is a specifications that defines the requirements for accessibility in a PDF document. The specification defines the required structure and formatting of the document (also refers to WCAG specification from W3C for use on the web) and PDF features, which should be enabled or disabled so the document is better suited for accessibility (for example PDF tags are required).

Thanks to the Dutch Standardisation Forum for financially sponsoring and Collabora Productivity in cooperation with Nou&Off for the work on implementing this specification into LibreOffice.

Figure 1: PDF Export
The implementation in LibreOffice is currently done only for Writer. It consists of two parts.: First is to enable PDF/UA support into PDF export, which writes a PDF/UA flag into the PDF document and enables all the required features. The PDF export dialog was extended with a checkbox (see figure 1).

Figure 2: Accessibility Check in menu 

The second part is an accessibility check functionality, which traverses the document structure and gather all possible accessibility issues. The accessibility check can be run manually through the menu under Tools - Accessibility Checker (see figure 2), or it will be triggered after PDF export dialog, if the PDF/UA support is enabled. The accessibility issues are presented in a dialog (see figure 3).

Figure 3: Accessibility check dialog

The checks that are (currently) implemented are:

  • Check that the document title is set.
  • Check that the document language is set, or that all styles that are in use, have the language set.
  • Check all images, graphics, OLE objects for the alt (or title in some objects) text.
  • Check tables don't include splits or merges, which aren't allowed by the specifications. The table should be 
  • Check for fake/manual numbering (not using integrated numbering). For example writing "1." "2." "3." at the beginning of the paragraphs.  
  • Check that hyperlink text is not a hyperlink itself - hyperlink should be described. 
  • Check for the contrast between text and the background. The algorithm is described in the WCAG specification.  
  • Check for blinking text, discouraged for the obvious reasons.
  • Check for footnotes and endnotes, which should be avoided.
  • Check for heading order. Order of the headings must increase incrementally with no skips (for example Heading 1 to Heading 3, skipping Heading 2).
  • Check, if text conveys additional meaning with (direct) formatting.

The PDF/UA support will be included in LibreOffice 7.

Skipping functions from entire directories while debugging (e.g. skip all functions from system headers)

So, today I got finally so tired of navigating (or explicitly stepping over) all the internal functions in gdb (you know, all the inline functions from STL containers, from Boost, from this pointer wrapper class, that string class) that I finally googled 'gdb skip system functions'. And guess what, it's been there since gdb 7.12, from 3 years ago, and it's almost trivial, just adding something like this to ~/.gdbinit:

skip -gfi /usr/include/*
skip -gfi /usr/include/*/*
skip -gfi /usr/include/*/*/*
skip -gfi /usr/include/*/*/*/*

 I feel so stu^H^H^Hproud for catching up only 3 years late.

Image Compression

Finally LibreOffice image compression did what you expect. Shrink your image or the impress presentation and don’t destroy your pictures.

Old default settings were 90 for JPEG Quality and reduce image resolution to 96 DPI.

New settings are 80 for JPEG Quality and reduce image resolution to 300 DPI. It frustrate me for long time that with 96 DPI all images that will be compressed with LibreOffice are blurred and didn’t fit in any case. After write Bug 128658 and nobody fixed the bug for me, I fixed it myself with 7 lines of code 🙂

The best bug report are the reports you can fix yourself. Be proud of yourself fill bug reports and fix them yourself.

Custom label in LibreOffice charts

There has been some progress in LibreOffice related to custom labels on charts. Let’s take a look at the following example document:

The above picture is extracted from a .docx document created by Word. When importing the document using LibreOffice, the diagram looks like this:

LibreOffice is now able to import custom text extracted from an OOXML document and store it in the ODF format. In order to do this, there was no need for extending the ODF structure, because it can already be accomplished using the <chart:data-label> tag. Multiple paragraphs are supported in one label. Apparently, style elements are not yet imported correctly, but the good news is it can be further developed without modifying the ODF format.

In addition, support for inserting percentage into the custom field is added:

The diagram above contains custom labels for each of its slices. Percentage fields have been added as new paragraphs into the labels. The text of these fields will dynamically change when changing the underlying data.

Thanks for SUSE for sponsoring this development.
