+ More housekeeping (ohallot)
+ orphan pages (no UNO command)
+ dual UNO commands
+ No HID binded to UNO command
+ no page for UNO command (404 error)

+ if the command is not clear, then a warning on the incompleteness
+ could create a wiki page on the UNO commands that are known
(Hossein)
+ the list is pretty large (Olivier)
+ also have an auto-generated page already
+
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/DispatchCommands (Heiko)

Thanks to Khaled
37 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_mac
38 UITest_sw_navigator gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
-> it seems it was introduced recently. ( first failure: Aug 29 )
+ Noel disabled one of the failing asserts
+ looks bad, but the main problematic tests are already fixed (Cloph)
+ UITest_sw_navigator failure happens inside VMs only, interestingly
+ main problem: build gets stuck, that's still unresolved (Cloph)
+ how much time is needed before a build is marked as "timed out"? (Hossein)
+ https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/gerrit_mac/153303/console says 1 test
failed but it took 5-10 minutes to get marked as failed (Hossein)
+ that was a bug in the kill-wrapper handling (Cloph)
→ kill wrapper itself took too long to sample data, so it was
terminated by the overall job's timeout
+ fixed now
+ timeout is 20 mins to kill the build (when there is no output)
+ isn't that too much? (Hossein)
+ hard to detect, we just look at the build output (Cloph)
+ would it be possible to add timestamps to the logs? (Hossein)
+ not sure if it'll be really helpful (Cloph)
+ make -O makes the output not helpful for timestamps
+ it would be interesting to tune that timeout value (Hossein)
+ where to inject the timestamp? (Cloph)
+ build? jenkins? (Cloph)
+ whatever is the easist (Hossein)
+ Will research and report back (Hossein)
+ wasm builder is failing for a while now:
https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/lo_daily_tb_linux_wasm/
error: 'chart::AccessibleChartView' is an incomplete type in file
/home/jenkins/workspace/lo_gerrit/tb/src_wasm/chart2/source/controller/main/ChartController.cxx
+ it's not reported to the mailing list? (Stephan)
+ yes, it's silent for now (Cloph)
+ https://ci.libreoffice.org/view/tb%20platform%20status/ --
everything else is green (Miklos)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ C++20 (Stephan)
+ multi-page floating tables in Writer, see tdf#157119 for details (Miklos)
+ JDK bump to 17 (Michael W)
+ waiting for JDK 17 to be installed on builders
+ the Linux builders should have it installed by now
+ adapted distro-configs to use JDK 17:
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/155377 -> merged
+ but at least not all Windows builders have it:
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/155827 -> pending
+ will check (Cloph)
+ Right-to-left math layout and other Math improvements (Khaled)
+ Patches landed on master
+ Visual/inline editing mode is now on by default with an option to
turn it on/off
+ Fixed a few issues with visual editing
+ a11y (Michael W)
+ fixed various crashes (like tdf#156683, tdf#157092, tdf#157088)
+ made multi line edit accessible (used in update dialog, tdf#104833)
+ fix for issue with odd NVDA announcement in print dialog
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/156666
+ import of Word drawing canvas, that is wpc element (Regina)
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/156629
+ started with the import of this
+ currently we use a fallback, which is VML -> terrible :)
+ e.g. theme colors, multi-color gradients, etc missing
+ wpc -> should go via drawingML
+ problem is: our connectors are different from what PowerPoint has
+ ink is a bitmap in the fallback, but real markup in the primary case
+ no solution for that yet
+ ideas are welcome how to overcome this difficulty
+ feedback is appreciated
+ Making MissingUnitTests more approachable for new devs (Ilmari)
+ https://89.238.68.189/MissingUnitTests
+ https://89.238.68.189/Widget:MissingUnitTests
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/156667
+ Idea is to add comments to the fixed reports mentioning useful info for
test writers (difficulty of reverting, code pointers)
+ Keep notes in one comment (future BZ has comment editing functionality)
+ Use a whiteboard string to mark reports with notes, unitTestNotes or
something
+ BZ API allows to snoop comment tags from comment data, so hopefully we
could even link from the table to the comment having the note by matching to a
tag
