* 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 minor release with a total of 115+ 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.

* LibreOffice 7.6.3 is in its third bugfix release of the 7.6 line: /wiki.documentf oundation. org/ReleasePlan /7.6#7. 6.3_release

* Version 7.6.2 is currently released in mantic. For a list of fixed bugs compared to 7.6.2 see the list of bugs fixed in the release candidates of 7.6.3 (that's a total of 115+ bugs): /wiki.documentf oundation. org/Releases/ 7.6.3/RC1# List_of_ fixed_bugs /wiki.documentf oundation. org/Releases/ 7.6.3/RC2# List_of_ fixed_bugs
