Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 5.4.2 is the second bugfix release of the fresh 5.4 line, after
5.4.1 (currently in 17.10).
For a list of fixed bugs compared to 5.4.1 see the list of bugs fixed in RC1
and RC2:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.2/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.4.2/RC2#List_of_fixed_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.
* Libreoffice 5.4.2 (RC2, which is effectively the final release) has
been available for users to test since 2017-10-04 in the official
"LibreOffice Pre-Releases" PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-
prereleases/+packages).
[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. The release went through 2 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 new release with more than 100 bug fixes always carries the
potential for introducing regressions, even though it's 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.
