Hello everybody,

In my experience so far working within the Documentation Team, we don't tend to describe experimental features within the guides.Therefore, given its current status, would I be better off removing discussion of the internal Firebird engine from the 7.2 Base Guide?

This would avoid references to a "large number of bugs", "instability" and warnings to "be extremely careful here". These don't read well when trying to convince users that LO is a quality product.

The material could easily be re-instated later, if and when Firebird is promoted from experimental to operational.

Any opinions please?

Regards,

Steve

Hi Steve,

there has nothing been changed in Base in LO 7.*. Only thing which
should be part of the description: Since LO 6.4.3 Firebird has been set
back to experimental feartures. So you could only create a new Firebird
dabase when "experimental features" are choosen.

Don't know the whole content of the Guide but could be the feature "Auto
Grow" in reports, introduced since LO 6.4, is also missing.

Regards

Robert
