# Caolan - add ident to “subforkit” spare kits to see their announcements as indicating specific server/shared config is applied and available - go, no-go meeting - fix apparent regression from intel perf work → [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/176727](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/176727) - suggest to check for “disabled” state, not just true/false - fix most frequent crasher on reimport of rtf in new crashtesting → [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/176707](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/176707) - ods failure to save → [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/176765](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/176765) - prototype launching subforkit around WOPIFileInfo creation time - assuming that shared/server config is only known on checkFileInfo results, and that we want a spare kit using such a config to exist before opening a document in it. Prototype fetching that shared config as soon as we know it, spawn a subforkit tagged as that config once it’s downloaded somewhere and have docbroker open documents in a matching tagged sparekit when available. Continue to assume for now that the user presets can be installed whenever they arrive. - setupTransfer startThread pollThread ← probably need shared config id by here getNewChild\_Blocks ← looks for suitable sparekit - There’s an inner null check on \_wopiInfo inside an outer one → [\_wopiInfo checked twice by caolanm · Pull Request #10550 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/10550) - Notice that findOrCreateDocBroker doesn’t use last arg. Not sure if that’s a left over thing we can remove, or a work in progress → [last arg to findOrCreateDocBroker is always null by caolanm · Pull Request #10552 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/10552) - help out with some ChildWindow problems with calc “reference” dialogs getting recreated in new views if open in an existing view. - cypress tests fail with the default “trace” logging for me, this worked in the past, but not now, trying a commit from August also fails - turns out this is a known problem with Poco 1.13 which got upgraded to such on Fedora 40 update. Though I find downgrading “trace” to “warning” for cypress is enough to make my make check work → [cypress tests with --enable-debug and trace logging fail by caolanm · Pull Request #10570 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/10570) - fix regression from F3 keyboard handling → [Revert "prevent double-dispatch of uno events bound to function keys" by caolanm · Pull Request #10576 · CollaboraOnline/online · GitHub](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/pull/10576) - push autotext/shared-config code around a bit more - debug cypress failure in chris’s pr, but it is specific to that pr after all - improve F3 shortcut handling for autotext launch - tdf#163772 and tdf#164026 fix some regressions of mine → [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/177213](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/177213) → [https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/177215](https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/177215) - ofz#380107559 fods2xlsfuzzer Null-dereference READ - reorg shared/server config to run a callback on completion of async downloads + installs. Right now just firing async download of everything of a shared config simultaneously. - launch subforkit on receipt of that callback - get docbroker to open docs in associated sparekits of subforkit - TODO, de-stupid and de-hardcode some of this, demo up multiple shared configs. See what the situation is for configuration overrides instead of just autotext examples (Current demo is just COLD+F3 for user autotext and FLU+F3 for shared autotext). Open questions on life times of subforkits and num\_prespawn\_children wrt their children. Need some caching, need to go back and flesh out the currently trivial settings json’s along the lines of existing font stuff. # Mike - Adapt insertion dialog to support multimedia files - Finished it - both in Inline, and in richdocuments - Merged in both, too (in Online, it got merged mid-week, well inside the red stage; richdocuments was only merged on Sat) - ReqIF xhtml schema validation error - Indeed, an easy one - fixed. - Deadlock in LibreOffice - Working on it. # Tomaz Analyze and close gaps to PDF-2.0 - PDF 2.0 encryption (Version 5, Revision 6) - changed the password verification process to also include creation of R6 - calculate the needed hashes derived from the password for both (all) encryption algorithms - combined all the R6 things together, so the encryption now works - added a bunch of (unit and other) tests for encryption algorithms - also use PDFium to open an encrypted PDF of specific version - should not fail - add encryption of metadata and make properly handle the flags - metadata encryption is an option and this needs to be set in the /Perm and /MetadataEncryption key in the /Encrypt dictionary - default is encrypted - so best to make this default for PDF writer too - started to part things to master - fixing CI for both - Adding PDF 2.0 to the UI - PDF 1.7 should still be default, but PDF 2.0 as an option the user can set - we have many PDF-A versions as an option, which all depend on a certain PDF version and automatically enables/disables PDF features - can use that to add PDF 2.0 in a logical way - WIP
