+ Require Python 3.11 (Neil)mm OO
+ The patch to update the configure script to require Python 3.11 turned
out a bit more complicated than I thought. I have three patches pending
and I’ve asked for feedback from Cloph.
+ python 3.11 deployed on linux builders (linux gcc, clang, android)
+ at some point might switch linux builds to use system python in
provided builds
+ or maybe make it an optional package and have LO fall back to system
python if there's no internal copy (cloph)
+ currently we compile a specific version/adding a dependency to that
version, need to switch that to a minimum-API/minimum-version approach

+ Scripting (Neil)
+ Object browser:
+ I was curious why the Object Catalog and the Macro Organiser
don’t have the same problem of causing global variables to be loaded
into the BASIC namespace. It turns out they do have the same problem,
it’s just that it’s harder to trigger because they both do lazy loading
only when a node in the tree is expanded.
+ I made a patch to implement this for the Object Browser as a
way to “fix” the bug with a less intrusive patch that would be easy to
backport.
+ Devansh pointed out that his patch does this too so I asked if
he wanted to split that part out of his patch so we can merge that in
the meantime.
+ It would be good to get that merged before the 26.2.5 branch
next week.
+ better to get lazyloading bits merged separately if Devansh' patches
need time to be merged (hossein)
+ agree, better to get stuff in if otherwise stuff gets delayed (Jonathan)
+ Working on making the macro manager dialog support deleting
BASIC macros.
+ in some you could, in some others you couldn't…
+ needed so the new dialog can replace all the others

* Removing published APIs? (Xisco)

*
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/bce4b4af9dbd56fda3b4890f1fa0438faeb21cfc%5E%21
* - moved from api (Already deprecated in 2000)
*
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/88c437c597b604524d50f450506285a594bd03a5%5E!
* - There is a replacement for them
* - Added to
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/27.2#API_Changes
* - Safe to remove them or should I revert the patch?
*
* - Is there any policy for removing published APIs ?
* - E.g. Applet.
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162563
- hard to judge whether stuff is used in the wild, should have some
kind of logging or alerting the user of deprecated usage to get the
extension updated or raising a veto of the removal/asking us to
reconsider (cloph)
- should have a dedicated deprecation listing with timeframe when it
is going to get axed (jonathan)
- why remove it/what is the harm of keeping it? (hossein)
+ if we remove stuff like the applet API, we also should clean up
deprecated API (xisco)
+ old code mostly untested/unclear whether it works at all (jonathan)
+ can only rely on people coming back telling us an update broke
their usecase
+ there still is maintenance cost
+ maybe can tap into extensions site and look what is used (hossein)
