JSON Toolbar / Notebookbar changes (Pedro)

    • Just one missing.

    • Still a few need back-porting to 6-4

Canvas / Interactive Performance (Michael)

  • Very large wins – now shipping in 6.4.8-4

Icon theming (css class names) (Pedro)

Async Saving (Michael)

  • Ash’s patches reviewed, another round of improvements pending.

    • Ash was fixing unit tests.

  • Next: removing the file provider – so everything is wopi-like even in debug mode.

Pull requests (Pedro)

CI – FreeBSD setup (Andras)

  • it is done – enabled the Cyruss CI – thanks to arrowd it is setup

  • how fast is it ? (Michael)

    • lets see.

Commit Access

  • anyone ?

Ongoing work (Kendy)

  • Started on the sidebar (Szymon)

    • not completely welded in co-2021 – trying to cherry-pick missing bits.

    • We have only some panels, not the full deck.

  • cypress tests related to formula-bar …

    • fixed some bugs related to this in co-2021 → Ash was looking at something similar.

      • Another unreliability problem with formula-bar tests.

    • After async-save → good to look at using welding there (?)

      • probably not as complex as expected – lets see.

  • New autofill – better than before

    • Dennis pushed it to up-stream LibreOffice – updating the help.

    • Dennis now back to performance with profiles from Michael / Tor’s

  • Improved PDF rendering (Gokay)

    • turning comments into a section – in Typescript.

    • Needed to work on this – getting comment-sections to the right of the page

      • comments is the last-part

    • expect to merge it in the next week.

Kubernetes documentation (Pranam)

  • updated the docs, and got some feedback from Andras.

  • Full-screen presentation, not working – looking at that.

  • Multiplexing based on WOPISrc needs to work.

  • At 1&1 we have a proxy (Gabriel)

    • it intercepts requests & takes care of re-directing the cnx. to the right pod

    • can’t be done otherwise – need to interpret the request.

    • Done with a 1&1 custom proxy – resides in a normal pod.

    • Would love feedback on the setup (Michael)

  • Documents work fine but problem with presentation

    • use a custom pod for HAProxy, and ingress to balance it.

    • Testing hard to avoid co-incidental …

    • check JS for code-sharing for building WOPISRC for requests (Michael)

Release schedule bits (Andras)

  • CODE 6.4.8-6

    • another urgent bug-fix release coming today.

  • CODE 6.4.9

    • have snapshot packages of this … can we publish the URL ?

  • When will it release ? (Gabriel)

    • lots being back-ported to 6.4.x (Michael)

      • unclear in the next months.

      • sidebar bits → coming …
