As we approach the first Release Candidate for Apache OpenOffice 3.4,
it would be wonderful if we could have some more volunteers testing
the latest dev snapshots builds. Following is some information on what
this requires, and how you can help.
First, if you have never tested a pre-release product before, know
that bugs are expected. That is the purpose of testing, to find bugs
so they can be fixed. Bugs could range from UI glitches, to incorrect
formatting to crashes or even data corruption. So you probably don't
want to use a test build for mission-critical tasks. Of course, I
assume you have already backed up your important documents. You do
have backups, right? Ideally you can do your testing on a separate
machine from your main work machine, so if something goes wrong you
will not interfere with your other work.
The above are all sensible precautions when testing any pre-release
software product.
If you are ready to test, you can download the latest developer
snapshot build from this page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Unofficial+Developer+Snapshots
...
Repeat of the question that I asked on the users list:
...
Which version are you looking for feedback/testing on?
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/r1293550/linux_x86/OOo-Dev_OOO340m1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
or
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/r1293550/linux_x86/OOo_3.4.0_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
In general we had only provided developer snapshot builds - <OOo-Dev_...>
This week we additionally provided a standard build (en-US only) -
<OOo_3.4.0_...> - in order to allow to test system integration and upgrade - see
thread "[BUILD]: propose next developer snapshot based on revision 1293738" on
this mailing list.
Best regards, Oliver.
