* cpp standard bump/c++23 features (hossein)
default to c++20 in configure/wiki notes
+ need to check what Visual Studio actually supports, along with
Apple/Xcode compiler and gcc 13/current baseline
+ would only be for master anyway, too late for 26.8
+ would like to avoid compiler-version-checks/use new features only
on some compilers (cloph)
+ Latest VS 18.7.0. had issuses. Reverted back to 18.6.2, and the
problem went away.
+ Error in configuration phase with ./autogen.sh:
checking for clang-cl... no
checking the dependency generation prefix (clang.exe -showIncludes)...
configure: error: cannot determine the -showIncludes prefix
Error running configure at ./autogen.sh line 338.
* - AI: Hossein to send an email to the ml
* GSoC (Ilmari)
+ Midterm evaluation: 10 July
* Bumping clang-format version (Ilmari)
+ Should we start tracking our baseline Clang version?
+ Easyhackify the task? I assume there is a need to review various
options
* - What's the reason to move to a newer version ? (cloph)
* - our old version cannot deal with newer c++ constructs properly
* do we have examples?
* + example:
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2025-November/094006.html
*
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/56e6d683dba66d4f2f80145064d2bda2ea4b27b1%5E%21
* + "our venerable clang-format 5.0.0 would have broken the
token `<=>` into `<= >`"
* - stop using it or update (Ilmari)
* - if we were to reformat all the files, we should also modify the
exclude ones (Jonathan)
* - I agree (Cloph)
* - Problematic for git blame (Hossein)
* can ignore files in those revisions:
*
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame#Documentation/git-blame.txt---ignore-revs-filefile
* already lots of minor cleanup in files that require skipping back in
time (Jonathan)
* - Also can cause issues with cherry-picking (MW)
* AI: Create easyhack (Ilmari)
* Commit Access
* Update IRC bot (Jonathan)
+ Should we update the IRC bot to ping regular attendees?
+ anyone currently in the meeting objecting to being added?
→ no (but not all on IRC)
→ AI: cloph to add all irc users to the current list
have a volunteer wanting to setup a telegram bridge
* Developer Certification (Hossein/Jonathan/Laszlo/Stephan)
+ resting since: 4 week (limit: 20 weeks)

* Should we change required Python version in configure.ac (Neil)
+ The README says that the baseline version is 3.11
+ The configure script only checks for 3.3, or 3.7 if building Harfbuzz
+ 3.9 is EOL and 3.10 and 3.11 are in security-fixonly mode
+ I tried building LibreOffice with 3.5 and it works fine apart from
that desktop-translate.py is using f-strings which were introduced in
3.6. pyuno also works fine.
+ The question that spurred this on for me is whether it’s ok to use
f-strings in python files that are imported externally.
+ For reference: f-strings are like this print(f"I am {age} years old")
+ Maybe somebody is using bleeding-edge LibreOffice with an ancient
Python version à la xkcd#1172.
+ we can install a newer version of python in baseline (Cloph)
+ we are using internal python anyway (Cloph)
+ TDF ships 3.11.x on 25-8 and 3.12 on 26-2 and master
+ Debian oldstable comes with 3.11
