[ANN] LibreOffice 4.0.0 Beta2 available

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the second Beta release
of our upcoming LibreOffice 4.0, that is feature-complete. The
upcoming 4.0 will be our fifth major release in just over two years,
and comes with a nice set of new features. Please be aware that
LibreOffice 4.0 Beta2 is not ready for production use, you should
continue to use LibreOffice 3.6.4 for that.

For further milestones towards 4.0, please refer to our release plan
timings here:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/4.0#4.0.0_release

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the release candidate quality is to run some
specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test

been possible without your help.

Hi,

4.0.0 Beta2 binary (rpm) can not start on Slackware64-14.0.

How  to reproduce:

1) download http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/4.0.0/rpm/x86_64/LibO-Dev_4.0.0.0.beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

2) untar, remove unnecessary rpms, unpack rpms, make and install package:
# tar xf LibO-Dev_4.0.0.0.beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz
# cd LibO-Dev_4.0.0.0.beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US/RPMS
# rm *-gnome-integration-*rpm *-stdlibs-*rpm
# mv desktop-integration/*-freedesktop-*rpm .
# for FILE in *.rpm ; do rpm2cpio < $FILE | cpio -imdv ; done
# mkdir /tmp/package-lodev
# mv usr opt /tmp/package-lodev
# cd /tmp/package-lodev
# makepkg -l y -c y /tmp/lodev-4.0.0.b2-x86_64-1.txz
# upgradepkg --install-new /tmp/lodev-4.0.0.b2-x86_64-1.txz

3) start /opt/lodev4.0/program/soffice

Observed behavior: message box appears
----
LOdev 4.0 - Fatal Error
----
The application cannot be started.
loading component library failed:
file:///opt/lodev4.0/program/../program/ucpgvfs1.uno.so
----
OK
----
and application doesn't start.

After removing

<component loader="com.sun.star.loader.SharedLibrary"
prefix="ucpgvfs1"
uri="vnd.sun.star.expand:$LO_LIB_DIR/ucpgvfs1.uno.so">
 <implementation name="com.sun.star.comp.GnomeVFSContentProvider">
  <service name="com.sun.star.ucb.GnomeVFSContentProvider"/>
 </implementation>
</component>

from /opt/lodev4.0/program/services/services.rdb and starting
/opt/lodev4.0/program/soffice again message box appears:

----
LOdev 4.0 - Fatal Error
----
The application cannot be started.
unsatisfied query for interface of type com.sun.star.ucb.XContentProvider!
----
OK
----


Expected behavior: application starts.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,

A tracker about this has been created here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58052

Julien

Hello,

is there an Android app to control Impress, now that the Remote
Control function is enabled in Impress GUI? Where can I find it to
test LO? (The pop-up window for Remote does not have a Help button,
nor do I remember any hints from Help as I translated all the strings
already and there were no links; also I cannot close that dialog on
OSX 10.7.5, so I need to file a bug for that).

Thanks, m.

And beta packages for Ubuntu raring can also be found at (in fact for a few days already):

Hi Stephan,

thanks for your answer

but as I can see, main.xcd contains zero mentions of GnomeVFSContentProvider:
$ grep -ci GnomeVFSContentProvider share/registry/main.xcd
0

It still contains these mentions of ContentProvider:
$ sed "s,><,>\n<,g" share/registry/main.xcd | grep -in ContentProvider
7073:<group oor:name="ContentProviderData">
7078:<group oor:name="ContentProvidersDataSecondaryKeys">

62441:<value>com.sun.star.ucb.WebDAVContentProvider</value>
62452:<value>com.sun.star.ucb.WebDAVContentProvider</value>

Message box still here:

Any more suggestions?

Oh, sorry, the GnomeVFSContentProvider is not added to the UCB via the
normal configuration mechanism, but via explicit code in configureUcb
(desktop/source/app/appinit.cxx).

That means you cannot easily fake an --enable-gnome-vfs build into a
--disable-gnome-vfs one by just tweaking some configuration files.

        Heh - on the other hand we should prolly catch & discard all exceptions
from the horrible hack that is desktop/source/app/appinit.cxx - which is
IIRC a startup / performance disaster we'd be well rid of as well :-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
