[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 4.0.3 RC2 test builds available

2013-05-02 Thread Fridrich Strba
Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 4.0.3, the RC2 builds now start to be
available on pre-releases. This build is slated to be second release
candidate build on the way towards 4.0.3, please refer to our release
plan timings here:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#4.0.3_release

Builds are now being uploaded to a public (but non-mirrored - so don't
spread news too widely!) place, as soon as they're available. Grab
them here:

 http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try  report *critical*
bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
feedback.

NOTE: This build is in a release configuration and _will_ replace your
existing LibreOffice install on Windows.

The list of fixed bugs relative to 4.0.3 RC1 is here:

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugs-libreoffice-4-0-3-release-4.0.3.2.log

So playing with the areas touched there also greatly appreciated - and
validation that those bugs are really fixed.


Thanks a lot for your help,
Fridrich

  well-known: documented API change / stlport issue etc.

  developer / expert
= is our bug, leave it open
