* Commit Access
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Miklos/László/Gabriel)
+ resting since: 20 weeks (limit: 20 weeks)
+ have a set of candidates, next step is to reach out to them (Stephan)
* Jenkins / CI update (Cloph)
+ good part: windows bots moved to new hardware (the one used to do baseline-tests with)
→ ~35min per build now, no longer the slowest platform to build on, also perhaps more stable (macOS is 40-60 mins)
+ bad part: jenkins update apparently broke scheduling/job handling, won't free agents even
after job is complete
* Feature locking (Andreas)
+ <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/174865> "Remove blocking functions feature from core"
+ commented on the change, tend to say it's a useful feature (Michael W)
+ abandoned the patch once (Ilmari)
+ wait another week on acting, but think there is a misunderstanding here (Thorsten)
+ have tons of other places where we have this runtime-configurable behaviour
changes
+ think Miklos' explanation is quite nice, maybe more code comments would be good to have (Ilmari)
+ open to having it removed - if there is some real problem there (Miklos)
+ wait for a week to see if an action is needed here (Michael W, Thorsten)
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ workaround for issue with Windows 11 Dark Mode (tdf#152534)
+ support for block quote role with Qt >= 6.9
+ basic support for Microsoft Narrator or Microsoft Accessibility Insights, etc.
now available out-of-the box via MSAA to UIA proxy (tdf#160982)
+ considering to rework handling for/drop the "Support assistive
technology tools" setting on Windows
+ RTL/CTL/CJK update (Jonathan)
+ tdf#163215: Kashida justification for AAT (Apple) fonts
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163215
+ Implemented
+ tdf#36709: Font-relative first-line indent (CJK)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36709
+ Started work on loext:text-indent
+ Playing with a new baseline with Windows: 2012R2 to Windows 11 & VS 2022 (Cloph)
+ currently just blocked on admin
+ add jom https://wiki.qt.io/Jom (parallel nmake) as optional dependency to speed
up the build on windows
+ helps with the openssl build
+ some previous discussions around jom + ccache on Windows (Hossein)
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2023-May/090397.html
+ Remove "xmerge" (Caolan)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/174563
+ this was a filter framework for old mobile formats, now replaced by libebook
+ in theory a 3rd-party could have a filter on top of this
+ probably not in practice
+ Was writen in Java
+ Tagalog support (Cloph)
+ new language, on master & 24.8.3
