IP Clearance: Impact

The following list describes the impact on GUI level of removal and replacement of libraries as described on the IP_Clearance page. Its intended purpose is to keep track of lost or modified functionality.

Library

Impact

lp_solve

Temporary: CoinMP is candidate for replacement
Menu entry removed: Calc: Tools->Solver...
This entry would open a dialog for solving a constrained (integer) linear equation

xpdf

PDF import can only be built when the poppler library is pre-installed on the system.

MySQL Connector/C++

MySQL connector can only be built when the C++ connector is pre-installed on the system.

glibc

No impact for user. Developers can not use getopt() function to parse command line.

SVG: librsvg, libcroco, libgsf, gdk-pixbuf, glib, gettext, pango

SVG using an external renderer is disabled, thus this new feature for 3.4 is there but creates no visualizations of embedded SVGs. Work for a replacement is ongoing.

libwpd

the WordPerfect filter ("WordPerfect Document (*.wpd)") won't be available anymore. No replacement until somebody will work on a filter extension that can be installed separately

fonts (liberation and gentium)

The liberation and gentium basic fonts are not installed together with Apache OpenOffice.

libneon

The neon library is used to for all http based communication including WebDAV. Without a replacement it is for example not possible to insert an image via an http Url. Work on a replacement (118569) has started but we will potentially loose WebDAV support at the beginning.
