+ a real stress-test for our interop story here
+ meson for externals (Cloph)
+ ready for harfbuzz https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/183345
+ works on linux, macOS and Windows (both cygwin and wsl-as-helper)
+ new dependencies (when building harfbuzz): meson/ninja and pkgconf
+ using internal python and custom pkgconf on windows to be able to use
windows style paths/cygwin meson would try to hand unix-path to msvc
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/extern/+/183785 (precompiled pkgconf for win)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/183806 (winget configuration update)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/lode/+/183534 (for lode/macOS and win/cygwin)
+ potentially needs some tweaks when cross-compiling to "exotic" targets
+ in short, if you pull & your Windows build breaks:
+ pull in lode.git
+ re-setup in lode (when using cygwin, or rerun winget configure with the relevant config files from core/.config)
+ try again to build core.git
+ Implemented native window snapping menu items in windows menu on macOS (Patrick):
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/183762
+ Not available in Start Center because it has no windows menu
+ For it to work in LibreOffice's dialog windows, needs the following hacky patch
to work around that dialog windows are natively pinned to their native parent
window:
