* 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.

* 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 ? 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 7.4.4 is in its forth bugfix release of the 7.4 line: /wiki.documentf oundation. org/ReleasePlan /7.4#7. 4.4_release

* Version 7.4.2 is currently released in kinetic and 7.4.3 in kinetic-proposed. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 7.4.3 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.4.4 (that's a total of ? bugs): /wiki.documentf oundation. org/Releases/ 7.4.4/RC1# List_of_ fixed_bugs /wiki.documentf oundation. org/Releases/ 7.4.4/RC2# List_of_ fixed_bugs
