* Present:
+ Hossein, Caolan, Dan, Heiko, Ilmari, Michael W, Miklos, Cloph, Xisco,
Stephan
* Completed Action Items:
+ Add entry in books.libreoffice.org (Olivier)
https://books.libreoffice.org/en/
* Pending Action Items:
* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 26.2 RC1 next week
+ make it a beta2, instead? not yet sure -- aware of a test failure
+ failure doesn't happen in Jenkins/CI config
+ RHEL9 uses amd64 v2 ABI -> SSE 4.1 support is required
+ More details:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169747 (Ilmari)
+ wasn't intentional, but no point in providing 2x binaries
+ plan: RHEL8 build as a daily tinderbox to help testers
+ next bump would be RHEL10, but almalinux offers a build with older
toolchain
+ e.g. Ilmari's laptop from 2016 wouldn't work work with this RHEL10
requirement
+ 25.8.4 RC2 this week: was tagged already
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ Helpcontents
+ updates from Scriptforge team (JP Ledure)
+ Q: what happened to Mediawiki extension?
+ code is still in swext/mediawiki/ (Miklos)
+ under-loved area, though
+ separate package on Linux (Cloph)
+ autogen option: --enable-ext-wiki-publisher (Michael W)
+ What markdown dialect are we using?
+ See https://github.com/mity/md4c CommonMark and various
extensions (Ilmari)
+ is this fully supported? (Olivier)
+ some extensions are handled, like github tables (Ilmari)
+ not aware of huge missing things in the markup coverage (Miklos)
+ will look at adding documentation for this (Olivier)
+ Q: Is Basic Object Browser ready?
+ was a gsoc project, mentored by Hossein (Ilmari)
+ working, but it has some issues (Hossein)
+ the student is still improving it
+ think it's usable (Hossein)
+ gerrit has pending patches
+ will this be in the release vs experimental mode? (Olivier)
+ probably experimental mode (Hossein)
+ interested in getting feedback on this
+ concern: if non-experimental, it'll trigger a lot of feedback
(Olivier)
+ has up/downsides
+ will decide later (Hossein)
+ re regressions: are those in bugzilla? meta-bug? (Xisco)
+ think, yes (Hossein)

+ windows bibisect jobs moved to new baseline
→ should have some updated repos after the weekend
+ windows builds heavy bottleneck right now
→ as a workaround disabled checks for the moment
+ CppunitTest_sw_macros_test is just one bot (Cloph)
+ CppunitTest_sd_import_tests-smartart is from a larger patch series, not a
problem
+ UITest_query is new, not ideal
+ one windows bot didn't reboot automatically
+ headless mode is now possible on macOS & soon on Windows (Hossein)
+ wondering about CI coverage there, tinderbox?
+ exclusive switch? (Cloph)
+ think so, would use cairo even on macOS / Windows (Miklos)
+ It would likely be used for API type stuff or automated document
conversion (Dan)
+ tinderbox is easy (Cloph)
+ but still would run with graphical login
+ testing whether it really works headless is out-of-scope
+ Hossein will test --enable-headless on master, and if so, next could
be a tinderbox
+ It does build headless on Mac OS and it appears to work OK. I was
going to test actual headless (eg log out user, use SSH to run soffice) soon
