Hi,

A new bug fix version has been released on calligra (the KDE Office Suite): 
http://www.calligra.org/news/calligra-2-4-4-and-2-5-5-released/

This bug fix version includes very important changes, other a bit less important, and some translation updates in desktop files. The debdiff of the entire release (without translations) is about 1000 lines, and the debdiff including only the most important is a bit less than 600 lines (see attached).

You can find the entire debdiff here : http://paste.debian.net/232487/

– The most important changes are :

Sheets:
  - A very nasty bug which made recalculations of spreadsheet contents go wrong under some circumstances (BUGS: 312981, 313010)
Kexi:
  - SQLite Driver: Fix possible data loss of compacted file (when process tools crash or fail for any reason)
  - Fix possible crash when pressing tab in the global search box

– We also had some changes on the package:

   - add break/replace on koffice-data for krita
  - a typo in a package description
  - a patch already in Debian, but now included upstream.

– The other changes are :

General: 
  - build visualimagecompare only if poppler is around

Kexi:
  - Kexi Forms:
    - Make palette background color property in text editor work (BUG: 309274)
    - Fix “data source tag” for text box (regression because of changes in KDE libraries’ line editor)
  - Remove limit of 101 fields in Kexi Table Designer (BUG: 309116)
  - Fix MySql login failure when not saving password – fix for case 3.1 (BUG: 313025)
  - Property editor: make items are always sorted by key


The whole changes is quite big, but quickly readable, so we would like to upload the bug fix release of Calligra in wheezy. It would be more work for us to pick up only the most important commits, and we are not sure it's worth to dedicate time for this.

That's why we ask for your advice : may we ship only the most important changes or the entire bug fix release of Calligra (2.4.4) in wheezy ?

Regards,

Adrien
