[Libreoffice] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC2 available

[Thorsten Behrens]

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the second release
candidate of LibreOffice 3.5.0. The upcoming 3.5 will be our third
major release line, packed with many exciting new features. Please be
aware that LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC2 is not ready for production use, you
should continue to use LibreOffice 3.4.5 for that.

The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at

  http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/

A note for Windows users: this Release Candidate will uninstall your
current stable build and replace it. If you do not wish this to happen
but still would like to test, you should follow the instructions for
installing in parallel:

 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel

Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A good way to assess the RC2 quality is to run some specific manual
tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

been possible without your help.
