10 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_linux_gcc_release
14 CppunitTest_sd_png_export_tests gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
15 aborted by jenkins job timeout gerrit_windows
51 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
+ this week (Cloph)
+ CppunitTest_sd_png_export_tests is failing a lot
+ possibly related to the drawinglayer timer / shutdown change
+ also the kill rate is higher than normal
+ and had an incremental build problem
+ just today, longer queue than usual
+ seeing increased failure rates on git / http (Stephan)
+ any mitigation is still active there?
+ think so (Cloph)
+ would be great to announce such things on the dev mailing list (Stephan)
+ the intention was to throttle the web / git web requests (Cloph)
+ fixed the related Android configuration error there
+ if you still experience git checkout / pull issues over http, let #tdf-infra know
+ the throttling was added due to a ddos, bringing the whole server down
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ RTL/CTL/CJK update (Jonathan)
+ tdf#165510: RTL text rendered on top of LTR text in GUI
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165510
+ General bug in VCL rendering bidi text with fallback runs
+ shows up with the UI, not in sw/ or editeng/
+ tdf#88908: DOC/DOCX balance spaces and fullwidth spaces (CJK)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88908
+ In progress
+ Previously-unknown compat/layout flag
+ Lang packs may have set this flag by default, so affects non-CJK docs
+ we have some similar in 3 different areas (UI, Writer, editeng), is this something architecturally broken? (Hossein)
+ any opportunities to deduplicate code here?
+ Writer and editeng didn't hit this bug by accident (Jonathan)
+ just because script family were split already
+ already consolited some duplication here
+ UI and Writer/editeng already uses the same VCL code here, not bad
