Public bug reported: [Impact]
* LibreOffice 7.1.6 is in its sixth bugfix release of the 7.1 line: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.1#7.1.6_release * Version 7.1.5 is currently released in hirsute. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 7.1.5 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.1.6 (that's a total of 44 bugs): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.1.6/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/7.1.6/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs * Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes. [Testing] * Upstream testing. Bugs fixed upstream typically include unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised (both in an automated manner and manually). * A recent set of upstream's automated jenkins testing can be found here: https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/gerrit_71/1392/ * More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here: * Automated tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Automated_Tests * Automated UI tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/UITests * Regression tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests * Feature tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Feature_Tests * Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were run and verified as passing. * [amd64] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-hirsute-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/hirsute/amd64/libr/libreoffice/20210906_131334_4d046@/log.gz * [arm64] ... * [armhf] ... * [ppc64el] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-hirsute-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/hirsute/ppc64el/libr/libreoffice/20210906_142807_b64b1@/log.gz * [s390x] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-hirsute-libreoffice-libreoffice-prereleases/hirsute/s390x/libr/libreoffice/20210906_135619_2360e@/log.gz * General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite were carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice [Regression Potential] * A minor release with a total of 44 bug fixes always carries the potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bugfix-only release, meaning that no new features were added, and no existing features were removed. * A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in. ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz) Status: New ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: High Assignee: Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz) Status: New ** Also affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu Hirsute) Assignee: (unassigned) => Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz) ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz) ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1942894 Title: [SRU] libreoffice 7.1.6 for hirsute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1942894/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
