Public bug reported:
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 7.1.6 is in its sixth bugfix release of the 7.1 line:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.1#7.1.6_release
* Version 7.1.5 is currently released in hirsute. For a list of fixed bugs
compared to 7.1.5 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.1.6
(that's a total of 44 bugs):
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.1.6/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.1.6/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.
[Testing]
* Upstream testing. Bugs fixed upstream typically include
unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised
(both in an automated manner and manually).
* A recent set of upstream's automated jenkins testing can be found here:
https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/gerrit_71/1392/
* More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here:

* Regression tests

* Feature tests

* Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were
run and verified as passing.

* General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite
were carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice
[Regression Potential]
* A minor release with a total of 44 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.
