BC Breaks

Notes

• Writer ODText previously used to set 'style:use-window-font-color' to 'true', now it is set to 'false'. (see #2735) The effect of this attribute is "implementation dependent" (if implemented at all). Setting it to false allows setting a default font color and improves interoperabilt, but may break certain specific use cases.
