crash testing, 1 import failure
moggi described here our crash testing infrastructure. Basically we have a document horde mostly populated through get-bugzilla-attachments-by-mimetype which downloads all the attachments from our bugzilla (and a whole bunch of other bugzillas) that are in formats which LibreOffice can open. We then import the lot of them with the above testing harness looking for crashes and aborts. A new report tends to appear every 1-3 days.
These documents are filed in bugzillas. In many cases they were filed specifically because they were causing some sort of trouble for someone, so there are a lot of hostile documents in there.
We currently have 76221 documents in the horde, the most recent run reports one, one single solitary failure (an assert in a .doc about invalid positioning of a cross-reference bookmark in a document with change-tracking enabled).
Here's a graph over time of our failure rate. Where failure is either a straight forward crash, or a triggered assert. The builds are dbgutil, extra-debugging, extra-checking, assert-enabled, exception-specification-enabled builds.

new area fill toolbar dropdown
The GSOC 2014 Color Selector is in LibreOffice 4.4, but it's not used for the "area fill" dropdown in impress or draw. So I spent a little time today for LibreOffice 5.0 to hack things up so that instead of using the old color drop down list for that we now have the new color selector in the toolbar instead. Gives access to custom colors, multiple palettes, and recently used colors all in one place.

gtk3 vclplug, some more gesture support

gtk3 vclplug, basic gesture support
gtk3's gesture support is the functionality I'm actually interested in, so now that presentations work in full-screen mode, I've added basic GtkGestureSwipe support to LibreOffice (for gtk3 >= 3.14) and hooked it up the slideshow, so now swiping towards the left advances to the next slide, to the right for the the previous slide.

gtk3 vclplug, full-screen presentation canvas mode
Newly added simple support to the gtk3 vclplug for "canvas" support which is the thing we draw onto for presentations. Which means the gtk3 vclplug now supports full screen presentations. Which required a whole massive pile of reorganization of the existing canvas backends to move them from their own per-platform concept in canvas to the per-desktop concept in vcl.
So now rather than having only one cairo canvas backend based on the xlib apis which is for "Linux" we have a cairo canvas for each vcl plug. The old school xlib one is moved from inside its #ifdef LINUX in canvas to the shared base of the gtk2, kde, etc backends in vcl, and there is now a new one for gtk3
Presumably there are lots of performance gains to be made to the new canvas backend seeing as I'm just invalidating the whole slide window when the canvas declares that it's flush time but slides appear to appear instantaneously for me and fly ins and move around a patch effects are smooth even in -O0 debug mode so I'll hold back on any optimizations efforts for now.

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
