+ 24.2: 24.2.4 RC2 this week, to be tagged tomorrow
+ 24.8:
+ feature freeze (beta1) in 1 week
+ string / UI freeze 3 weeks after that
+ late features?
+ LET() Calc function (Thorsten)
+ Also, any idea when WASM TB will be upgraded? (Julien)
+ previously think it was a compiler failure (Cloph)
+ probably need a patch for lode.git first
+ wasn't aware of the tinderbox, doesn't send mails (Stephan)
+ can probably look at that next week
+ any reason why failure mails are not sent out? (Stephan)
+ nobody wanted to work on this (Cloph)
+ will turn it on, then (Stephan)
+ https://ci.libreoffice.org/view/tb%20platform%20status/ shows this as red as well (Miklos)

+ XLOOKUP, RANDARRAY, SORTBY...
+ Updates and fixes (erack, S. Horacek, D. Maddern, A. Barrientos)
+ Guides
+ Work in progress.
+ Question1: Calc functions argument naming
+ Verbose? e.g. =FUNCTION (Argument one; Argument two,...)
+ Mnemonic? e.g. =FUNCTION (Arg1; Arg2;...)
+ no strong opinion (Thorsten)
+ tend to prefer the mnemonics, these have to fit into a tooltip (Eike)
+ the wizard & help pages should have the same name (Olivier)
+ prefer verbose (Heiko)
+ easier to understand that way
