Calc: Pre-View Spreadsheet Filtering

  • Fixing issues with sheet view invalidation
    • Patch is merged
  • Issue when the user gets thrown into “Default view” if another user creates a new sheet view
    • Not obvious what’s wrong - still investigating
    • Somewhere there must be a command to change the sheet
  • TODO: backport to 25.04
    • Partially done..

Vector rendering for online:

  • Adding more primitives to client rendering
  • Test - engine creates test reference JSON files, client tests the rendering with those
  • Added JsonPath - similar usage to XPath for XML
    • makes tests more sueful
  • Mocha tests that work on an COOL instance (like cypress)
    • Can run commands, so we can use that to trigger UNO command to vector primitive tree
    • Surely useful for other testing as well
    • But currently not decided to go that route - I have a patch however
  • Got patches for most polypolygon primitives
    • Needed to get the testing groundwork done, so now it will go faster

Carlito Font issue:

  • In process: Calc EditEng migrator for cells
    • There is no flag here for font independent line spacing, so need to create one
    • Need to code review this
    • Next charts
