+ tests that failed more than twice in last seven days:
3 CppunitTest_sw_mailmerge2 gerrit_windows
3 CppunitTest_sw_ooxmlexport17 gerrit_mac
3 CppunitTest_vcl_png_test gerrit_linux_gcc_release
3 UITest_sw_sidebar gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
4 CppunitTest_sw_mailmerge gerrit_windows
4 CppunitTest_vcl_gtk3_a11y gerrit_linux_gcc_release

7 CppunitTest_framework_dispatch gerrit_windows
8 Killed by the kill-wrapper gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
14 CppunitTest_sc_subsequent_filters_test3 gerrit_windows
20 UITest_sw_navigator gerrit_linux_clang_dbgutil
+ sc_subsequent_filter_test3 probably fixed by
"make testCondFormatFormulaListenerXLSX reliable"
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/157686 (thx Caolán)
+ sw_navigator: another problematic test was disabled yesterday (thx Noel)
+ this week looks promising (Cloph)
+ sc_subsequent_filter_test3 failures is improving, thanks Caolan
+ sw_navigator is also better: a flaky part is disabled, thanks Noel
+ CppunitTest_framework_dispatch should be also improved (Caolan)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ multi-page floating tables in Writer, see tdf#157119 for details (Miklos)
+ JDK bump to 17 (Michael W)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/155827
+ still waiting for some macOS builders to be updated
+ a11y update (Michael W)
+ WIP: switch a11y text attributes from custom ones to IAccessible2 attributes
on Windows and support spelling error reporting (tdf#157696)
+ Improve screen reader announcement of Word Count dialog (tdf#157633,
orca#419)
+ Status bar announcement (tdf#157639, nvda#15591)
* provide input for new Linux a11y protocol proposal (potential AT-SPI2
successor):
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2-core/-/issues/142
* Accerciser, Gtk and Qt fixes/improvements
+ ItemSet rework (Thorsten)
+ Armin keeps working on this
+ hope the codebase will be much cleaner after this
+ it's great to have good test coverage, pointing out failures left&right
+ good to find problems earlier
+ testing with multiple visual studio versions (Hossein)
+ CI has no manpower for this (Cloph)
+ right now also the baseline doesn't support newer VS
+ usually we test with baseline during CI (Miklos)
+ and then you are free to play around with something newer locally if you want (Stephan)
+ should definitely avoid different compiler versions on different Jenkins builders
+ is something needed to dump the VS version info? (Hossein)
+ failed to figure out the VS version in the build
+ do a verbose build, cl.exe path has the info ideally (Stephan)
+ it's rather rare that we run into runtime issue with different VS versions
+ the baseline is the latest compiler in a given line (Cloph)
+ the compiler path + version would be nice to print out (Hossein)
+ should be visible to see 2019 vs 2022 (Cloph)
+ e.g. 16.11.31 currently (2019)
* QA update (Xisco)
+ Missing Xisco, Ilmari jumping in :-)
