* android: Bump minSdkVersion to 21 (Android 5.0) (Michael W)
     + 
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-December/091277.html
     + NDK 26 dropped support for API level < 21 (Android 5.0)
     + would like to do the same to ease maintenance and unify API level 
used
       for different architectures (64-bit already requires API level 21 
anyway)
     + suggested Gerrit change: 
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/160334
     + any concerns/objections?

         + 7.6.4 released today, regular LO release schedule
         + plan is to make it available for translation in Weblate

new features
           planned
