[Libreoffice-qa] [ANNOUNCE] libreoffice-4.2.0.0.alpha1 tag created / test builds available

[Christian Lohmaier]

Hi,

there have been created the libreoffice-4.2.0.0.alpha1 tag. The
corresponding official builds are available from

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

PURPOSE:
This release in intended only for project-internal testing, not for
the regular user. The main purpose is to test that we are able to
create builds from master and that they are usable for testing. We
will not push it on mirrors. Note that the builds are still
LibreOffice-Dev builds, so they can be installed alongside the stable
version.

Note that there is now also a 64bit build for Mac OS X (requires 10.8
or later to run).

Also note that translations have not been updated yet for 4.2.x.
