+ this week, tried to focus on finalize the submission / review of newcomers
+ review it faster
+ discussed with Ilmari
+ some of the easy hacks are suggested to many people
+ it's good to have many details for such tasks / blog post
+ tried to make the UNO API error improvement easy hack easier to understand -> describe it more, make it more obvious
+ https://dev.blog.documentfoundation.org/?p=975&preview=1&_ppp=47d2a61c78
+ first it looks easy, then actually reproducing the exception throwing is harder
+ will expand on this & publish it later
+ hope this will be helpful
+ another easy hack that is related to picking data types instead of sal_uLong
+ needs explanation
+ it's far from obvious what is the replacement
+ have some details to explain this, in a blog post
+ hope to finalize the blog post & publish it in the next few days

+ especially regarding the failures related to the kill wrapper

+ filter_svg and sw_uiwriter6 are in this category
+ sw_navigator: more unstable parts are now disabled, thanks to Noel

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157135
+ Windows update suspected https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157135#c19
+ it's also mentioned on Windows 10, but they also reported differences there, depends on the exact sub-version (Ilmari)
+ tried to test it with the reported locale, can't reproduce so far
+ the bugreport has some more details
+ also tested internal vs system file pickers (Ilmari)
+ New high severity bugs of the week:
+ [EPUB] SVG images are rendered duplicated
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119112
+ not a regression
+ Cross-reference a formula does not work since 7.6x
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157287
+ bisected to Matti

+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157337
+ revert submitted by Heiko: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/158041
+ in the meantime some test started to depend on the new behavior (Heiko)
+ will investigate
* QA stats (Stéphane)
+ Interesting consolidated bugs of the week:
+ right-click on right half of last character in selection loses the selection (Writer): https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111969
+ Character highlighting sometimes hides / cuts off adjacent glyphs / characters because it is drawn in front: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43643
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48015 "Option to export all pages / slides from Drawing / Presentation modules as bitmap (PNG, JPG...)"
+ similar to the "export presentation as svg", but that's not easy to use (not obvious all slides have to be selected prior)
+ QA Dashboard data updated: https://stragu.shinyapps.io/lo_qa_dashboard/
+ Aggregate ranking integrates feedback from LibOCon
