Regarding the API/ABI stability, there is a main test that is called during build that tests divergence from the API (unoidl-check run by UnoApiTarget.mk at build time, that compares offapi/type_reference/offapi.idl). Aside from this main API test, there are several manual tests executed by TDF's QA team as well as several automated regression tests that might uncover API discrepancies.
Regarding bug #1869561, we felt it is very important to fix the libreoffice help functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881007 Title: [SRU] libreoffice 6.4.4 for focal Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in libreoffice source package in Focal: Incomplete Bug description: [Impact] * LibreOffice 6.4.4 is in its fourth bugfix release of the 6.4 line. Version 6.4.4 is currently in focal. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 6.4.3 see the list of bugs fixed in the two release candidates: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.4.4/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/6.4.4/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs (that's a total of 98 bugs) * Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes. [Test Case] * No specific test case, bugs fixed upstream hopefully come with unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised upstream (both in an automated manner and manually) by a community of testers. Each minor release normally goes through two release candidates. * The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests, those should be run and verified to pass. * General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite should be carried out. [Regression Potential] * A minor release with a total of 98 bug fixes always carries the potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bugfix-only release, meaning that no new features were added, and no existing features were removed. * A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in.
