      • not concerned, seems other PDF producers also do this
      • hopefully helpful for diagnostics
    • Finalized and published a blog post on dev blog

    • tests that failed more than twice in last seven days

      7 UITest_calc_tests8 gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
      9 CppunitTest_starmath_qa_cppunit gerrit_windows
      12 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
      12 UITest_inputLine gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
      • more frequent than last week
      • interestingly had this failing a lot last year in Aug
        16 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_mac
    • there is a change regarding how builds are run (Cloph)
      • if the change “is likely” to fail, then only linux-clang-dbgutil builds, and only then the rest
        • that’s why the clang build number is higher
      • this also shows in the failed tests numbers
    • new boxes, like tb99, call to gdb is not ideal (Stephan)
      • auto-allow-list path is not configured, so python backtraces don’t work nicely
        • including our own pretty-printers
          AI: Cloph to look at that

  • What’s cooking (Thorsten)

    • ccache on Windows (Hossein)
      • heard PCH builds are faster than ccache
        • yes, saw that locally (Cloph)
      • think ccache + pch won’t work together (Cloph)
        • works for an initial build, but not for subsequent ones
      • pch is already used on CI (Cloph)
    • C++20 (Stephan)
      • have a couple of gerrit changes which are green on all platforms
      • will propose a new compiler version to be required, in the coming weeks
    • multi-page floating tables in Writer, see tdf#155118 for details (Miklos)
    • looking into l10n issues in Math (Khaled)
      • non-English locale uncovers not showing symbols, etc
      • especially RTL, looking into fixing these
    • looking into issues with popups not announced in NVDA (Michael W)
      • also some cleanups, removing unnecessary indirections

  • JDK bump to 17 (android build or all?) (Michael W)

    • required by a newer gradle
    • also the same for the whole Linux baseline or stick to JDK11 there? (Cloph)
    • not sure if there is any benefit in maintaining an old baseline here (Michael S)
    • JRE8 was reported to not work (Hossein)
      • 155668 – LibreOffice fails to detect Oracle Java 8 Update 371
      • build baseline is JDK9 (Miklos)
      • runtime baseline is JRE8 (Stephan)
      • do we produce .class files that would not work with JRE8? (Michael S)
        • think we pass the right target flags to make this work (Stephan)
        • JAVA_TARGET_VER → should not cause runtime change
          => no objections to bump the build-time baseline
