  • Extract and transform API → insert slide into presentations.
    Made a PR from transform, It probably cover the basic needs.
    Added layout change, general uno command calling capability, made a way to generate some bullets, now we can index masterslide, and layout by its name, added DeleteSlide
    Made some warning logging, if indexes are out of min-max.
    General uno commands was not worked on my windows system, but works on my linux system. (maybe LOK is needed)
    Now working on extract side, later I plan to expand transform.

  • Checked the empty page problem at transform contentcontrol.
    It seems to be the result of the styles, not really related to fillApi

  • Andras

    • no update

  • Szymon

  • Cypress: made it more stable in some cases, now is again green @ ~75% success rate

  • Vivek

  • Created iFrame for user-setting /Admin-setting

  • Currently Working to make Auth with NextCloud

    • Problem : Wopi auth token generated based on FileId/Path

      • Solution suggest by Szymon: Maybe we can create fake Path for UserId and create auth token, We need to change bit code of how we generate token for this case. [Working on it]

  • Bayram

  • Skyler

  • Touchscreen tooltips (should not be shown)

    • Fixed and merged!

    • Wrote additional code to deal with detecting if hover events are touch events – used a bit of a hack but it seems to work in practice and be reliable

  • iOS copy/paste formulas

    • Working on this now – running into a very similar problem to what I was noticing when iOS had clipboard separated out and internal; it looks like a conversion from XTransferable to XTransferable2 is failing and I’m not sure why

  • Pranam

    • Imroving interoperability to import formulas from MSO

    • Fixing some async dialogues freezing new users joining

  • Gökay
