108 aborted by jenkins job timeout gerrit_windows
+ Jenkins is suffering from the Windows builds getting stuck (Cloph)
+ seems it's not tied to specific bots
+ only a matter of time when a build hangs, then all subsequent builds fail
+ also saw it on libreoffice-24-2 branch (Xisco)
+ if you see a bot failing like this, take it offline and ping #tdf-infra (Cloph)
+ if this happens, please announce that more widely (Stephan)
+ maybe on the mailing list
+ Noel has a WIP change to try to have a Windows version of the kill wrapper

* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ announcement of text formatting toggling with NVDA (tdf#160695/nvda#4248)
+ Navigator a11y improvements (tdf#159910)
+ gtk3: comobobox a11y
+ RTL/CTL/CJK update (Jonathan)
+ (Bug 49885): Propose moving to ICU for CJ word BreakIterator
+ trying to upstream the Chinese/Japanese customizations
+ have a memory that people consider word counting as very important (Caolan)
+ aware of the problem (Jonathan)
+ Regression hotspots script updates (Ilmari)
+ https://git.libreoffice.org/dev-tools/+/refs/heads/master/scripts/regression-hotspots.py
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/RegressionHotspots
+ Runtime down from 10 hours to 30 seconds
+ How to make it even more useful for QA stats?
+ Handling renamed files and dirs?
+ Presenting change over time?
+ build with wsl-as-helper but from within git-bash (Cloph)
+ cleaning it up/getting it ready for submission
+ still not all working via plain configure, some hardcoded paths
+ git-bash can be installed from visual studio
+ long-term goal would be to replace cygwin with wsl+git-bash
+ still needs a manually installed perl, which is a bit ugly
+ just got some Windows arm64 HW, cygwin is really ugly there (Thorsten)
+ interested to try this there, on Windows 11
+ all in for trying this out (Stephan)
+ mingw itself, is that an option? (Hossein)
+ not the compiler, the environment
+ configure to work without cygwin is a lot of work (Cloph)
+ idea is to build from git-bash, and call selected tools from wsl
