[ooo-build] ANNOUNCE: ooo-build-3.1.0.98.2 released (3.1.1-alpha2)

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

I am happy to announce the 3.1.1-alpha2 release of ooo-build master. You might 
find it at

	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.98.2.tar.gz
	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.98.2.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".

Known important bugs:

	+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=534658: the Debian users
          are not able to open any ODS files with the last builds. I do not
          see it here, so it seems to be distro specific. Rene and Kohei are
          trying to debug it and will hopefully fix it soon. Anyway, if you
          see the problem, you might temporary disable the RowLimit-related
          patches. Just apply the attached 
          ooo-build-3.1.0.98.2-disable-RowLimit.diff


Status of branches and plans:

	+ master:
		+ currently intended for the up-comming 3.1.1 release
		+ support ooo310-m14
		+ opened for any development (be aware of 3.1.1 release in August)
		+ 3.1.1-beta1 release after July 20 (I have vacation following two weeks)
		+ 3.1.1-beta1 should be also feature freeze
		+ 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
