** Description changed: [Impact] * LibreOffice 24.8.3 is in its third bugfix release of the 24.8 line: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/24.8#24.8.3_release * Version 24.8.2 is currently released in oracular. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 24.8.2 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 24.8.3 (that's a total of 88 bugs): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/24.8.3/RC1#List_of_fixed_bugs https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/24.8.3/RC2#List_of_fixed_bugs 24.8.3 RC2 is identical to the 24.8.3 release * 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_248/1105/ * 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.
