* 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).
* Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were run and verified as passing.
* [amd64] ...
* [arm64] ...
* [armhf] ...
* [ppc64el] ...
* [s390x] ...
* A minor release with a total of ?? 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.
[Impact]
* LibreOffice 7.1.7 is in its sixth bugfix release of the 7.1 line: /wiki.documentf oundation. org/ReleasePlan /7.1#7. 1.7_release

* Version 7.1.6 is currently released in hirsute. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 7.1.6 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.1.7 (that's a total of ?? bugs): /wiki.documentf oundation. org/Releases/ 7.1.7/RC1# List_of_ fixed_bugs /wiki.documentf oundation. org/Releases/ 7.1.7/RC2# List_of_ fixed_bugs
