[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 5.0.0 beta3 test builds available

[Christian Lohmaier]

Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 5.5.0, the builds for beta3 are now
available on pre-releases. (some Windows 32bit helppacks still uploading)

(beta2 has been tagged and built, but not announced as there was a bug
with the caret (the indicating cursor) not advancing properly, so
beta3 was built as replacement)

5.5.0 is scheduled to be released end of July

While the build is made available in all supported languages and
translation templates were updated, translation did just start and
thus is still incomplete.

See

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/5.0#5.0.0_release

for the complete schedule.

Grab the builds from here here:

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

Make sure to grab beta*3*

If you've a bit of time, please give them a try & report any severe
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 5.5.0 beta1 is here:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugs-libreoffice-5-0-release-5.0.0.0.beta3.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,
Christian
