Interoperability challenges

[edit]

The following paragraphs were removed, as they are opinion, if citable they are relevant to a Wikipedia article, even if it is not this one.

As follows:

Interoperability challenges require effort to maintain digital sovereignty with office suites, such as the interoperability of documents with other office suites, viewing and editing. Some areas where interoperability challenges arise with Microsoft Office include, document standards, font licensing, and secret document display algorithms. Examples are:

  • As of November 2024, Microsoft Office file formats default to Microsoft XML, they do not claim to default to the open standards - OpenDocument (ISO/IEC 26300) or Microsoft's - Office Open XML (ISO/IEC 29500).[1]
  • Microsoft Office 2013 introduced undocumented display algorithms that effect document line breaks in undocumented ways, meaning that even when using identical fonts or metrically equivalent fonts, document line breaks may no longer appear in the same place as originally authored by Microsoft Office, when viewed or edited using another office suite. The undocumented display algorithms were introduced soon after Microsoft switched to use Microsoft XML. It is necessary for competing office suites to work out how this is done.[2]
  • Microsoft Office 2007 introduced new default fonts that are not freely distributable like the previous default Microsoft Office core fonts. Other computer devices are required to purchase a licence for Microsoft office even if they are using another office suite, otherwise viewing or editing these documents could render them incorrectly. To help mitigate this new metrically equivalent fonts were developed with similar widths so that line breaks etc were more likely to appear in the right place in documents, but the fonts would still look different, so documents created in Microsoft Office would still not appear as the author had created them.

Releases

[edit]

The following table is the initial draft of a new table to be used.

  • Fix to say Collabora Office in the respective places
  • Find an easy to represent the supported LTS versions (for office and online).
  • Find the correct way to label "under LTS"
  • 3 year support for each major Collabora Online release with monthly updates & more.
  • 2 year support for each major Collabora Office release with updates & more.
  • New stable releases every 6 months.
  • https://www.collaboraonline.com/engineering-support/

Additional security, maintenance, and bug fix updates.

    • This will require new fields in the metadata, somehow.
      • Collabora Office LTS 22.05, stable
      • Collabora Office LTS 23.05, stable
      • Collabora Online LTS 22.05, stable
      • Collabora Online LTS 23.05, stable
