  • Impress Remote poor wifi handling (Michael S)

    • https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/159786
    • bluetooth is better
    • the wifi layear doesn’t provide the same safe channel
    • new config setting: enable remote only enables bluetooth
      • second checkbox also enables wifi, which is not recommended
    • in theory, a TLS-SRP would be useful
      • but only supported by openssl → put that aside for now
    • verified that bluetooth continues to work
    • quality of the slide previews are poor, though (Hossein)
    • right now unencrypted URP is also allowed
      • added a setting where you can disable the URP completely (Michael S)
        • assume it’s used in server applications, where you don’t have an end user
        • would be nice to have this connection encrypted
        • would be nice to secure this (Hossein)
          • you need to enable this manually, wouldn’t worrry (Michael S)
          • it still wouldn’t help (Thorsten)
            • even if it’s encrypted, still everyone can connect to it
            • not seeing the point
            • no authentication (Michael S)
            • don’t think we should be bothered (Thorsten)
            • this is listening on localhost / local pipe
        • we currently default to allow the switch to enable the URP (Michael S)

  • What’s cooking (Miklos)

      • curved connectors: made some import/export progress
        • current UNO API exposes the wrong value for a property → needs fixing
      • will do it after text-on-shape-in-group
