Anna – Release schedule

Working on 26.04 and working on community version

- performance blockers

- soon 26.04

25.04.10 collabora office already released

Skyler- Mobile Release schedule

Release has been tested

There are some issues, and since as we’ll be reducing compatibility with older devices next release it’s important to get this one As Good As Possible, so working on those...

Skyler

- Dropdowns on macos calc not working

→ know which commits caused the problem

→ commit which originally caused it, and commit that made it happen all the time rather than only on certain parts of the dropdown

→ investigating the commit that had the original cause to see why

→ it was meant to be some simple conversion/refactor but changes various behaviors

Sahil

Banobe

Bayram

What to do next:

  • Notebookbar Tab update, so that all tabs are update/reviewed
  • Menubar review so that all commands that are available in Notebookbar, are available in the menubar
  • Classic Toolbar add context related stuff (like we have on mobile)

    • Future stuff:

  • Tamplates the impress defaults are very bad

Gulsah

Attila

Made “template thumbnails” loading asynch. Normally it works fine, but it has some parallel issues in special cases that I will have to handle… like what if we close the dialog before it loaded all thumbnails.. but there are more complex situatiuons like we can add/modidfy/delete them. Working on making a cache for it, it could lessen the problems.

Ivana

Darshan

Replace Welcome behavior bot with GitHub Actions welcome workflow
