[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

I am happy to announce 3.2-rc1 release of ooo-build master. You might find 
it at

	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.1.tar.gz
	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.1.tar.gz.md5

As usual, please, provide test builds for your beta testers and report bugs 
into bugzilla.novell.com for the product "OpenOffice.org".

Branch ooo-build-3-2:
---------------------

I have created the ooo-build-3-2 branch, see the separate announce mail for 
more details.


Known bugs:
-----------

	+ the build is marked rc1 (was expected, ...) but I am sure that we will
          need rc2; there are already known blockles in the upstream code, for
          example http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=107688
	+ see also the Novell bugzilla at http://alturl.com/qaq5

-------------------

I will release rc2 after the upstream rc2 is available. I expect it the first 
week in January. I will inform you at least one days before the release.
