[Libreoffice] REMINDER: Release 3.5.0-beta3 from libreoffice-3-5 branch and hard string and UI freeze

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

please note that the commit deadline for 3.5.0-beta3 is on Monday,
January 9, 2012.

IMPORTANT: It is also the hard string and UI freeze. Please, do you
best to include late features or at least the needed strings.

Note that it is the last scheduled beta. The next commit deadline will
be for rc1, just one week later, on Monday, January 16, 2011.

PS: The original hard string freeze was before Christmas. There was not
enough time to fix bugs in the strings, e.g. add help for the online
update functionality. So, we shifted the deadline to beta3.

IMHO, it was worth doing. There have been only few strings modified so
far, so it should not cause big harm to translators.

Also note that .0 release will be distributed with a warning that it
might include annoying bugs. People, who want well stable release would
need to wait for a later bug fix release. So, it is fine to have few
non-translated strings there.
