[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.4 RC1 available

2012-05-18 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first release
candidate of LibreOffice 3.5.4. The upcoming 3.5.4 will be the fourth
in a series of frequent bugfix releases on our feature-packed 3.5 code
line. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.5.4 RC1 is not ready for
production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.3 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

A note for Windows users: this Release Candidate will uninstall your
current stable build and replace it. If you do not wish this to happen
but still would like to test, you should follow the instructions for
installing in parallel:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the RC1 quality is to run some specific manual
tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 (and the announcement mail: 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/022464.html)

e.g. contribute code:

or help with funding our operations:

A list of known issues with 3.5.4 RC1 is available from our wiki:

Please find the list of changes against LibreOffice 3.5.3 here:

Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having
contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have
been possible without your help.

Yours,

The Document Foundation Board of Directors

   - collect further ideas for spending a dedicated resource (Cor/Rainer)
 - blocked on CC/Litmus choice  availability
   - write update scenario testcase in Litmus/MozTrap (Kendy)
   - bulk change remove EasyHacks in summary, make that white board only 
(Rainer, Florian, all)
 (actually not possible in bulk, so lets crowdsource this: when you come
 across a bug with EasyHack in title, please remove it there
   - Set Cor up with the Community/Forum maintainers at the distros
 to better propagate Hackfests, Bug Hunting Sessions etc.
 RedHat, Debian, Gentoo still missing
   - send a proposal for liberal assigned use in NEEDINFO to Rainer for review 
(Bjoern)
   - create a QA EasyHack Gather own bugzilla requirements (Bjoern)
 - create a wikipage with what we have so far and link to it (Rainer)
   - blog about bug verification (Bjoern)
   - bibisect: update docs (Bjoern)

completed action items:
   - MozTrap evaluation install (Bjoern) - obsolete
   + blog about QA EasyHacks (Cor/Bjoern) - done by Cor, need repetition of 
course
   + blog about daily build changes/bugs/features from git log (Cor)
   - add EasyHack for bugzilla-twitter integration (Bjoern) 
   - bibisect: also rebuild the old ~50 3.5 bibisect installs for the next 
update (Bjoern)
 - obsolete, just needs libjpeg62 package installed on precise

structured manual testing:
  - Yifan had good progress setting this up (Petr)
- account creation still creates some issues
- still might be ready as soon as next week

bug wrangling (Rainer):
  - bugzilla twitter integration
- bugzilla git integration might be a blueprint (Markus)
- EasyHack: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50096
  - assigning policy: really assign or CC? (Petr)
- CC is better, dev can then self-assign
AA  - update bugwrangling docs to say CC instead of assign (Rainer)
  - some confusion about the use of new components (Rainer)
- seems to be a better way to distrubute bugs to devs as teams grow
- (assigning to one dev isnt that helpful anymore then) 
- likely a good topic for our own bugzilla, not worth it earlier (Bjoern)
AA  - bring topic back to ESC (Rainer, Petr, Bjoern)

community building/communication (Cor?)
AA+ add yourself on openhatch.org (all)
- mark yourself as a mentor for LibreOffice too
  - QA mentoring (Florian)
- EasyHacks seem to work great in dev, we should get something similar for 
QA
- How do we find/identify mentees?
  - twitter integration might get blood in the project, but here we need 
those
who did some verifications/confirmations to take them to the next level
  - once we have our own bugzilla we should have a Wanna meet the 
QA-team-link
to the QA-List in the header/footer
  - QA-List is freedesktop/hasslesome (Florian)
AA+ - Invite active bugwranglers to next call/QA list, CC Rainer (Bjoern)

bibisect for 3.5 release branch and 3.6 master (Bjoern/Korrawit):
AA - merge 3.5 and 3.6 in one big bibisect repo (Bjoern)
 - should be done with the next update, likely around 3.6 branchoff
   - having bibisect in a PPA for automatic updates would be nice (Florian)
 - investigate bibisect in a PPA (Bjoern)

The next LibreOffice QA call is on 2012-06-01 14:00 UTC.

As always comments and additions welcome.

Best,

Bjoern
