As usual, please, provide test builds for your beta testers and report bugs 
into bugzilla.novell.com for the product "OpenOffice.org".


Important changes:
------------------

	+ upstream OOo sources are not longer available at
          http://download.novell.com/; You need to get them from git using the
          ooo-build/download tool; packagers should use --without-git
          configure option to get tarballs from cgit
	+ l10n stuff is in separate tarball


Known bugs:
-----------
	+ https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504623: can't import any XLS
          documents (504623)
		+ workaround it to disable oox-calc-export-row-limit.diff
	+ postprocess-nlpsolver.diff does not apply for distros that have
          extra diff against postprocess/prj/build.lst
		+ please, apply the attached ooo-build-3.1.99.1-postprocess-nlpsolver.diff
                  and update your distro specific diffs if still needed
	+ ooo-build translations are not used because of the separated l10n-stuff
	+ the prebuild mono stuff is not updated
	+ ???
