I went over https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=firebird and added a few open bugs to the blocker bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/51780 based on their description (and NEW instead of UNCONFIRMED status) only, without reading the bug log in great detail. > + still not hyper-excited about it as default.

Do you agree with me/us that we shouldn't but Firebird 3 as the default embedded database for LibreOffice 5.3 yet? Shall we make the "big jump" right now in the current 5.4 alpha (master branch), which would be a plan that it will be ready (including enough time for beta-testers and fixing the bugs they find and report) in 6 months? Feel up to it? If you have any bugfix that is not in 5.3 and you think should be, I encourage you to put the backport on gerrit. It can be as easy as clicking "cherry-pick" on the gerrit change for master and indicating there libreoffice-5-3. As usual, put me as reviewer. You can also checkout a libreoffice-5-3 git tree on you machine, do the cherry-pick there and then push it to refs/for/libreoffice-5-3 on gerrit. -- Lionel _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
