CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@libreoffice Interesting… looking at the app store it has sharply divided opinion expressed in an unimpressive thirteen reviews of which Apple show, er, nine.

@downey Are they going insane?

@downey this is especially stupid because prior versions of the code, with the same vulnerabilities, will continue to publicly exist. Welcome to the worst of all worlds!

@polmalvinas Hi! No, .xlsx isn't part of the Open Document Format, and there is no such thing as the Open Document Foundation. (There is The Document Foundation, the non-profit behind LibreOffice). Microsoft Office/365 does support ODF though – if only they used it by default. Hope that clears it up!

@jerrej Well yes, Linux distros usually include the Gtk/Qt integration too, so the old-looking VCL interface should hardly ever come up. That's why there's no need to update it. But yes, there is an argument that when the desktop integration package is missing, LibreOffice should alert the user (while showing the old-looking VCL interface).
