[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta3 available

2012-01-16 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the third beta release
of LibreOffice 3.5.0. The upcoming 3.5 will be our third major release
line, packed with many exciting new features. Please be aware that
LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta3 is not ready for production use, you should
continue to use LibreOffice 3.4.5 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/

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

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the Beta3 quality is to run some specific manual
tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

 (and the announcement mail:

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

[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.0 beta3 available

2012-01-12 Thread Thorsten Behrens
Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 3.5.0, we continue with a beta3 build
that is now feature-complete. For further milestones on the way
towards 3.5.0, please refer to our release plan timings here:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#3.5_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.

The list of fixed bugs relative to beta2 is here:

 
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-5-release-3.4.99.3.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,

-- Thorsten
