+ this week: high number of builds which are stuck, the rest is normal
* What’s cooking (Miklos)
+ A11y update (Michael W)
+ a11y code refactoring and deduplication (XAccessibleEventBroadcaster and
XAccessibleComponent implementations)
+ native theming is again the default, you need to opt in to use the libreoffice theme
+ Sahil continues to improve the libreoffice theme, though
+ no pushback from him on this
+ RTL/CTL/CJK update (Jonathan)
+ tdf#88908: DOC/DOCX balance spaces and fullwidth spaces (CJK)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88908
+ May affect some non-CJK docs
+ native full screen mode on macOS is now implemented for 25.8 release (Patrick)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128186
+ meson for externals (cloph)
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/183345
+ migrates harfbuzz
+ also needed for cairo and pixman
+ managed to get it working on windows in wsl-as-helper method, but not with cygwin yet
+ need to workaround bugs(?) in meson and also add pkgconf as intermediate external
+ meson is implemented python, so building harfbuzz will now depend on internal python
+ is vcpkg usable for this purpose? (Hossein)
+ i.e. taking harfbuzz from vcpkg
+ we want to build it from source, so not really (Cloph)
+ getting ninja from visual studio or win-get is OK, though
+ motivation: harfbuzz is dropping the old build system, so either need to build it with gbuild or work with meson
+ this is just about meson for externals
+ help wrt getting this work in cygwin is appreciated
+ Harfbuzz 9.0.0 release notes: "Autotools build system have been dropped. Meson is the only supported build system in HarfBuzz going forward."
https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/releases/tag/9.0.0
+ Khaled's idea: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/183425 to have harfbuzz as an static library
+ means maintenance cost in the long run, though (Cloph)
