KOffice.org

By Thomas Zander

In a previous blog I mentioned a lot of new features we are working on. With the release of the beta the time for working on new features is over and now we are in full bug fixing frenzy.
A question that recently came up in the KOffice community was when we can honestly say that KOffice is ready for the end user. One answer which I personally like is that features that are present should just work. Fully, and well tested. The project I did in the last week was work on list items. I’ve tried to find all the bugs I could on this topic and make sure they all got fixed for the 2.1 release Naturally this includes writing unit tests to avoid them regressing later. And last I think it is only complete with a blog entry explaining the progress KOffice made.

The fixes were mostly focused on getting list items positioned correct as the rest of the features already worked in 2.0.  Right to left lists are a bit tricky and they were basically broken by placing the counter in the margins.

The following ‘before’ and ‘after’ screen-shots of my test document probably show the progress much better.

First the new status and for reference the old one below. (click to see full size)
