[Libreoffice-qa] [ANN] LibreOffice 5.3.0 beta1 test builds available

[Christian Lohmaier]

Hi *,

for the upcoming new version 5.3.0, the builds for beta1 are now
available on pre-releases.

It is in dev-configuration, meaning it won't replace your stable
installation of LibreOffice and can both be used and installed at the
same time as LibreOffice 5.2.3 for example.

5.3.0 is scheduled to be released beginning of February

While the build is made available in all supported languages and 5.3.0
beta1 marks feature freeze, string freeze did not happen yet and
despite translation templates were updated, translations may still be
incomplete.

See

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/5.3#5.3.0_release

for the complete schedule.

Grab the builds from here here:

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

The list of fixed bugs relative to 5.3.0 Alpha1 is here:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugs-libreoffice-5-3-release-5.3.0.0.beta1.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
