• Skyler
• Mobile release – but I told you about that :)
• More CI bits
◦ Hopefully should have improved the rate of iOS CI throughput → before we got very backed up, now we should get less backed up… (more benefits on GitHub CI than Gerrit – want to look at Gerrit CI in the future)
• iOS testing
◦ Started looking at getting proper tests for the iOS app…
▪ …annoying to transfer testing files to the tests → but got something promising by messing around with signing certificates to allow the test runner to access a shared area
• iOS long load times
◦ Investigated this a bit – not sure what it’s dependent on as I’ve built the same hashes several times and had them pass/fail differently → one of them was a release, so I can’t say if it was cleaned… possibly it wasn’t at that point?
• Hyperlink tab thing I found in this meeting last week
◦ Users would have the hyperlink save what tab it’d been on ……. but it wasn’t separated between users
◦ Made the tab default to always being on “internet” – it’s a fair default and removes the canoodling between different views: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/191204
• Gulsah
