Description Lukas Jelinek 2015-02-08 14:55:21 UTC 
Developers of Apache OpenOffice changed slightly the API for extensions. It has caused that the current AOO extensions are unusable in LibreOffice. Please make relevant changes to allow to use these extensions.

If it's not too much work, this sounds like it could give our users some more flexibility.

Status -> NEW

Can you be more specific on the APIs and/or the extensions that are now unusable, or that should be proritized according to you? Thanks.
Comment 3 Lukas Jelinek 2015-02-23 21:37:22 UTC 
Probably all extensions built for Apache OpenOffice 4.0+ don't work with LibreOffice. API changes are described here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions/Extensions_and_Apache_OpenOffice_4.0
Comment 4 Stephan Bergmann 2017-08-24 11:32:21 UTC 
Do you have an example of such an AOO extension that actually does not work with LO?
Comment 5 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2018-02-14 20:27:47 UTC 
there doesn't appear to be an example of an extension that doesn't work, let's close this
