Hi,

please note that the commit deadline for 3.6.0-beta2 is today (Monday),
June 19, 2012.

NOTE: We are starting to use new version scheme:

	+ 3.6.0.0.alphaX 	for Xth alpha release
        + 3.6.0.0.betaX 	for Xth beta release
	+ 3.6.0.X for 		Xth release candidate

Advantages:

	+ easy to understand for normal users, alpha, beta flags are known
          from other projects, so they set reasonable expectations
	+ correct alphabetical sorting in RPM, bugzilla
	+ "easy" to parse (alpha/beta strings delimited by dot)

The result is that we could have the same version everywhere: git tags,
source tarballs, about dialog, bugzilla, ...

IMPORTANT: This is final decision. Please, do not start another tread.
There already was long discussion until we got into these conclusion. See
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/2012-June/001822.html
