LibreOffice on wayland
Hacked LibreOffice a bit more today towards wayland support via the gtk3 vclplug. Good news is that it launches, displays and you can interact with it mostly as expected.
Under F22 with a gnome-on-wayland session, GDK_BACKEND=wayland ./soffice.bin gives me...
Which is encouraging as this morning I had no window contents at all. Downside is that I can't resize the window and the menubar is displayed behind the title bar. Maybe a client side decoration issue.

gtk auto-mnemonics support
Thanks to Simon Long over at raspberrypi, we now have auto-mnemonics support in LibreOffice under gtk3 and gtk2. So the underlines appear in dialogs when alt is pressed and disappear when released, while menus activated from the keyboard show underlines while those activated from the mouse don't. Gives a more native flavour to the UI. Only in 5.1 for the moment.

crash testing, 1 export failure, 0 import failures
I graphed our crashtesting improvement on importing documents a while back, and mentioned that while import failures had improved dramatically that the export figures weren't as shiny. But there's been some great progress there too, especially with the work mstahl has been putting in, so today the crashtesting has reported effectively three consecrative 0 import failures and with the first drop to 1 reported export failure (an assert) so I present the graph of export failure progress
And an updated import crashtesting graph.
This is on our corpus of 76000+ documents sucked down from various bugzillas and other sources.
