You can download the Chart2 Beta Developer Snapshot build (Milestone 9 of the Childworkspace chart2mst3) of OpenOffice.org now!
On the OpenOffice.org Chart page you find a link to the downloads for Linux (Intel), Solaris (Sparc) and Windows (Intel).
Get the snapshot and give it a try! We would greatly appreciate any help with thoroughly testing this version. There is a list of testable areas where you can see what should be tested, and which parts are not finished yet, so you don't want to test those.
Installing the snapshot is easy: just unpack the files and start OpenOffice.org directly from the unpacked directory. For de-installation just remove the unzipped directory. Your user configuration will be stored inside the same directory, so you won't interfere with a previously installed OpenOffice.org version. For more information see the Readme.
There are many new things in this build. My personal highlight: we finally got the range-chooser working. That is the tool that allows you to select cell-ranges in a spreadsheet with the mouse instead of entering those complicated ranges manually when you assign data to chart objects.
If you find bugs in the beta, please submit issues. As there still exist issues for a lot of knows bugs or inconveniences, please consult the queries you find linked in the "Want to help?" section of the Chart page first to avoid submitting duplicates.
Important reminder: Please do not use this version for your daily work, it is still a beta version! It contains still bugs, some features are not complete and it may also contain incompatibilities. If you create documents with this version do not distribute them as they might not be correctly loaded in official builds.
Thanks for your help.
