* Present:
+ Thorsten, Caolan, Heiko, Miklos, Kendy, Olivier, Xisco, Michael M, Stephan, Sophie,
Christian, Eike, Jan-Marek
* Completed Action Items:
+ bisect and analyze bug#112558 (Xisco)
[ Bisected - it points to the Khaled patch: 34d7602954d4483b3bc9db700e7df2c15348947a
affects Calc - and reproducible onlt with some fonts,
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112558 ]
* Pending Action Items:
+ research the best way to build HTML help / documentation / for 6.0 (Olivier)
[ still working on this, lets discuss next week. ]
+ fix scripts producing junk numbers for crash testing (7 and 7) (Shinnok)
[ pending – making the scripts work again. ]
+ fwd build details on Mac / CVE build / test failure to the list (Shinnok)
[ still working on this, hope to have it done today ]
+ switch default to x86_64 / Windows for testing & pre-releases of 6.0 (Cloph)
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 5.4.2 RC2 status
+ on mirrors as final, to be announced in the next minutes
+ release-note https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108580 ?
+ added it to the release-notes (Thorsten)
+ no good way to solve this (apparently) - MS don't know either
+ if its missing LibreOffice won't run
+ can ship the DLLs in the tree, or ask the user to install a MS
re-distributable.
+ VS 2015 re-distributables not everywhere -> the problem.
+ we used to ship them (Michael)
+ was a nicer merge-module in the past (Thorsten)
+ VS 2015 upgrade problem - beggars belief...
=> cheapiest / easiest - is to bundle the DLLs with the build.
AI: + ship the DLLs with the installer (Cloph)
+ sad, but should be easy to do.
+ which systems are lacking this DLL ? (Michael S)
+ de-active updates, and not instal updates or ? ...
+ if not installed, not updated, but not there with a blank windows
+ might / usually comes pre-loaded with other software.
+ pristine Win 10 - had this issue.
+ thought the idea of the split here was to make it work automatically
+ 5.3.7 RC1 status
+ built and up-loaded to testing, ready for early-testing announce.
+ 5.3.7 RC2 - 1 week after conference.
+ 6.0 Alpha1
+ 1 week after the conference
+ 6 week gap from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 ?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.0
+ ideal to have 3-4 week after release instead;
=> adjust to 3 weeks; Christian to do something sensible.

* l10n (Sophie)
+ ongoing; when do we get master UI bits ?

+ into the UI project before making it live
+ will do it later today.
+ will have UI & help files available
+ Android & LOOL were updated
+ smooth gettext migration is ~complete here
* Add DirectWrite as experimental feature (Xisco)
+ Khaled cherry-picked https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/42898/ to 5.4 and master
+ commit was reverted in 5.3.7, then submitted it to master & 5.4
+ commit moves rendering from DirectWrite to GDI
+ fixed many issues that are not reproducible.
+ the bugs are still reproducible with DirectWrite
Q1 - should we have an experimental feature for that ?
+ suggest waiting for a patch (Michael)
Q2 - what should we do with these bugs ?
+ fixed, but still reproducible with DirectWrite
+ do we have a tracker for them all ? (Michael)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112486
=> leave open - vs. the meta-bug.
Give up on font rendering on Windows ? (Michael)
+ weird patterns of devices - different corner-case configs
+ Mozilla & Chrome -> no good response.
Michael's Crazy Font Rendering Vision
+ Behdad likes it too ...
+ abandon all hope of Windows rendering fonts
+ render using freetype ~everywhere; but then ... printing ?
+ generate XPS ... use windows print dialogs etc.
