[ooo-build] ANNOUNCE: ooo-build-3.1.99.2 released (3.2-beta2)

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

I am happy to announce 3.2-beta2 release of ooo-build master. You might find 
it at

	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.1.99.2.tar.gz
	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.1.99.2.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".

This release includes less changes that you might have expected. The main 
reason is that many developers attended the OpenOffice.org conference. 
Anyway, all old patches should be finally enabled, some bugs were fixed, and 
we are slowly moving to the release.


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

	+ ooo-build translations are not used because of the separated l10n-stuff
	+ see bugzilla for more ;-)
