Hi,

I am happy to announce the 3.1.1-alpha1 release of ooo-build master. You might 
find it at

	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.98.1.tar.gz
	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.98.1.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".


Important changes:

	+ initial support for KDE4 is enabled by default; you need QT >= 4.5.
          Please, put --disable-kde4 into your distro-configs if you do not
          want it

          Note that it is still a work in progress; we need to create extra
          file list for kde4 subpackage; KDE4 addressbook support is still not
          enabled by default; KDE filepicker (open/save dialog) is not
          used in the end, ...

	+ dbus support is enabled on Linux by default again; it is usefull to avoid
          screensaver during presentation; it requires dbus-glib-1 >= 0.70;
          Please, --disable-dbus into your distro config if you do not want it
          

Status of branches and plans:

	+ master:
		+ currently intended for the up-comming 3.1.1 release
		+ support ooo310-m13
		+ opened for any development (be aware of 3.1.1 release in August)
		+ 3.1.1-alpha2 release within next three weeks
		+ will do the ooo-build-3-1-1 branch by the end of August; might happen
                  earlier if there is some demand for the OOo-3.2 development

        + ooo-build-3-1 (maintenance mode):
		+ should stay stable, please commit only critical and well tested fixes
                  for potential maintenance update
		+ support ooo310-m11 (3.1-final)
		+ the last release is at
                  http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.6.tar.gz
		+ I would do more releases on request if a critical bug is fixed later
