     Hi
     
     Sorry about it, but it seems git is playing games with me.
     After your change, ods reading works in the wizard and from the command
     line.  So this issue can be marked as solved.


Oh good.  I'm glad it has been fixed.
     
     But it seems I don't understand git.
     It reports me that your last change was 33 hours ago which is well before
     Ben build his previous master. But the master of yesterdag has another
     version code as the build of today. I thought your change was included in
     the build from yesterday, but this isn't the case.
     
     What is my mistake?

Your confusion is understandable.  

The timestamps that git records are the time when the change was committed.  In 
this case, I didn't actually push the change to savannah.gnu.org until some 
hours 
later.

Also, note that the times recorded by Ben's buildbot are eastern US times.

Added to which, somebody's clock could always be wrong!

So time is not a reliable indicator of what is built.  The commit hash is rather
better although that is not foolproof either.
