We could add "Edited" (or "Modified") to the title bar, like Apple
Keynote/Pages/Numbers do (they do not have "Save" in the toolbar, but
the menu item is always active too).

[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 5.0.5 RC2 available

[Christian Lohmaier]

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is pleased to announce the second release
candidate of LibreOffice 5.0.5. The upcoming 5.0.5 will be the fifth
bugfix release of our fresh 5.0 line. Please be aware that LibreOffice
5.0.5 RC2 has not been flagged as ready for production use yet,
however feel free to give it a try instead of 5.0.4.

A work-in-progress list of new features in LibreOffice 5.0 can be
found at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0

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/

Windows builds are also provided in 64bit version.

Should you find bugs, please report them to our Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org

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

 
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test

For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can
e.g. contribute code:

  http://www.libreoffice.org/community/developers/

translate LibreOffice to your language:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide

or help with funding our operations:

  http://donate.libreoffice.org/

A list of known issues and fixed bugs compared to 5.0.5 rc2 is
available from our wiki:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.0.5/RC2

Special thanks to all QA, developers, bugreporters who did make this possible.

You'll find the number of bugs along with the names in the wiki (
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/5.0.5/RC2#Thanks_to_all_who_took_part_in_handling_the_issues
)

Also thanks to all the translators (a slightly outdated list of those
using pootle are listed
here: https://translations.documentfoundation.org/about/contributors/
) who make this possible.

And of course also big thanks to contributors who do great work in other
areas that cannot be put into numbers!

Thanks a lot for your help,

Christian

[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 5.1.1 RC1 test builds available

[Christian Lohmaier]

Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 5.1.1, the builds for RC1 are now
available on pre-releases.

5.1.1 rc1 is in release-build configuration, meaning it will update a
previous version of LibreOffice

5.1.1 will be the first bugfix release for the fresh 5.1 codeline

See

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/5.1#5.1.1_release

for the complete schedule.

Grab the builds from here here:

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

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report any severe
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.

The list of fixed bugs relative to 5.1.0 final (rc3) is here:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugs-libreoffice-5-1-1-release-5.1.1.1.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,
Christian
