Hi, there have been created the libreoffice-4.0.0.0.alpha1 tag. The corresponding official builds will be available within next few days.
PURPOSE: This release in intended only for internal testing. The main purpose is to test that we are able to create release builds from master and that they are usable for testing. We will not push it on mirros. Please, do not announce the bugs widely. IMPORTANT: We switched to submodules in git, so there are not longer symlinks from the optional modules. I used this opportunity to slightly modify packaging of the sources: 1. Use the same top-level directory for all tarballs: + libreoffice-<version> 2. removed -core from the main tarball name, so we have: + libreoffice-<version>.tar.xz + libreoffice-dictionaries-<version>.tar.xz + libreoffice-help-<version>.tar.xz + libreoffice-translations-<version>.tar.xz The result is that they can be easily unpacked using: for tarball in *.xz ; do tar -xf $tarball ; done Please, let me know if you do not like this change. NOTE: If time permits, I will try to produce list of commits and fixed bugs against 3.6.3. It is a bit tricky and might take some time. I think that the list of new features is more interesting in this case, see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.0 Now, you might switch your current 3-6 source tree to it using: ./g fetch --tags ./g checkout -b tag-libreoffice-4.0.0.0.alpha1 libreoffice-4.0.0.0.alpha1 Linux distro packages might find source tarballs at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/ They will be available from the official page together with the builds.
