[ooo-build] ANNOUNCE: ooo-build-3.1.1.2 released (3.1.1 maitenance update)

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

I am happy to announce 3.1.1 maintenance update release of ooo-build-3-1-1 
branch. You might find it at

	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.1.2.tar.gz
	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.1.2.tar.gz.md5

IMPORTANT: The last changes has not been tested using full QA round. Only safe 
and important changes were allowed in the common part, so it should be fine. 
The main purpose of the release is to provide the 
last fixes for openSUSE-11.2-milestone8.


Upcoming deadlines (*)
----------------------

Tue, Oct  6    openSUSE-11.2 RC1 release
Tue, Oct 20    openSUSE-11.2 RC2 release

The detailed plans for OOo-3.2 and ooo-build are not clear yet. I would like 
to provide alpha1 release within two weeks. It is later than expected because 
I am busy with openSUSE-11.2. Also porting of ooo-build master goes slower 
than expected :-(
