+
+4 issue types have been added:
+
+* [python-ply\_lextokens](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/notes.git/commit/?id=3841005d)
+* [build\_dir\_in\_tags\_generated\_by\_doxygen](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/notes.git/commit/?id=374f00dc)

+
+
+Weekly QA work
+--------------
+
+During our reproducibility testing, FTBFS bugs have been detected and reported by:
+
+ - Adrian Bunk (24)
+ - Boyuan Yang (1)
+ - Cédric Boutillier (1)
+ - Jeremy Bicha (1)
+ - Matthias Klose (1)
+
+
+diffoscope development
+----------------------
+
+- Chris Lamb:
+    - [Add support for comparing Berkeley DB files](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/diffoscope.git/commit/?id=8fbd7e3) ([[!bug 890528]]). This is currently incomplete because the Berkeley DB libraries do not return the same uid/hash reliably (it returns "random" memory contents) so we must strip those from the human-readable output.
+
+
+Website development
+-------------------
+
+- Holger Levsen:
+    - [Add reference to Symfony.com](https://anonscm.debian.org/git/reproducible/reproducible-website.git/commit/?id=5f14e50); thanks to Javier Eguiluz for the patch.
+
+
+Misc.
+-----
+
+This week's edition was written by Chris Lamb and Holger Levsen & reviewed by a bunch of Reproducible Builds folks on IRC & the mailing lists.
