Aqua news
We now can retrieve values from preferences (thanks to Yvan Barthelemy to have seen the stupid typo who made me spend a lot of time .. ). For the curious,
the patch Philipp announced desktop and framework are added to aquavcl01. What does it mean ? Simply we will add preferences entry in system menu (and improve a bit introbitmap behaviour)
Other news : torrent ready (thanks to cloph), and upload of Aqua development snapshots scheduled. We will provide PowerPC / Intel in 4 locales : de, en-US, ja and fr.

Aqua FilePicker and old FilePicker
Playing with the FilePicker, Florian Heckl implemented, I have enabled (thanks to Joerg Barfuth for the tip) the choice : enable / disable Aqua native FilePicker in Aqua OpenOffice.org preferences
Just for the Fun, because add the choice will probably become useless for Mac users :
who will use the old one, once the Aqua one will work ?
:-) Fixed popups issue ( drawn under the main menubar and/or the Dock )
Started : clipping in salframe ( shapes clipping ) using CoreGraphics

Mac OS X port officially supported by Sun !
This is a great day for the Mac OS X port and OpenOffice.org community.
While the Mac port was
close to provide alpha version,
Sun, the main OpenOffice.org contributor, surprisingly decided to
officially support us, providing
important resources :
2 Sun engineers will now work at full time for the Aqua port ! What is great :
- OpenOffice.org project will become more consistent : now,
ALL main platforms are supported ( at least !! )
- the
native port will accelerate significantly,
- both
Sun devs and Community devs are
glad to work together to achieve the final objective :
provide a real Mac applicationNo doubt, the
big winners will be the
Mac users :-)
For the interested people, a
special IRC meeting will be organized tomorrow Friday 4th of May ( see
Mac port IRC meetings), to welcome the new devs, and make a point on the Mac OS X port
