Hi there, I just made changes on master to make the mdds library[1] a separate download instead of generating its files by patches. This means that you will need to download one more package via the download script. So, please re-run the configure script, and the download script in order to get the package downloaded. Mdds is a collection of data structures available as C++ templates, and I use one of those structures in Calc to improve performance post row limit increase. You can read more about that in my blog post here: http://kohei.us/2010/05/05/mdds-0-3-0-released/ Before the change, the headers were generated via patches, then subsequently patched several times by other patches. It was a bit ugly, and hard to maintain. Making it a separate package makes it easier for me to manage the headers, and easier to update the whole header set in the future. There is very little code change in the header files themselves introduced by this change. The only changes are: 1) header names are different. 2) some method names are different. 3) the internal node structure now is free of virtual functions. Nothing else has changed. So, I consider this a safe change even for 3.2.1. But in case this came as a surprise to anyone, please accept my apology. ;-) [1] http://code.google.com/p/multidimalgorithm/ -- Kohei Yoshida - OpenOffice.org Engineer - Novell, Inc. <[email protected]>
