commit 2d69acfde5
Author: Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko@gmail.com>
Date:   Fri Jan 8 15:10:42 2021 +0100

    Resolves tdf#139343 and tdf#139335 - Community/Enterprise flavor

it only adds "LibreOffice Community" to the version string
in the about dialog, which is not really useful at this point,
since final releases don't use it either

LibreOffice Filters

Filter registration and some simple filters (also descriptions).

Desperate splitting of code into small shared libraries for historical reasons presumably (OS/2 and Windows 3.x). The libraries produced from the code in each subdirectory of filter/source/graphicfilter are graphic format import or export filters. But they don't have uniform API. Some have either a GraphicImport or GraphicExport entry point, and are loaded and used in a uniform fashion from code in svtools/source/filter/filter.cxx. Others have different API and are loaded from other places. For instance icgm has ImportCGM, and is loaded and used by sd/source/filter/cgm/sdcgmfilter.cxx (!). Svgreader is used for "File -> Open" and then to choose the svg file. For "Insert -> Picture -> From File", see svgio/source/svgreader directory.

Filter Configuration

The filter configuration consists of two parts, the type definition in filter/source/config/fragments/types/ and the actual filter definition in filter/source/config/fragments/filters/.

Each file type e.g. text file should be represented by exactly one type definition. This type can then be referenced by several different filters, e.g. calc text, writer text.
