Hi,

I am happy to announce 3.2.1-beta1 release of ooo-build master branch. You 
might find it at

	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.99.2.tar.gz
	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.99.2.tar.gz.md5

As usual, please, provide test builds for your beta testers and report bugs 
at https://bugzilla.novell.com against the product "OpenOffice.org".


Packaging-related changes:
--------------------------

	+ we removed the version from the extension file names; the main reason
          was to do not break Windows patch between OOo-3.2 and 3.2.1; also
          it makes the packaging easier
	+ KDE4 stuff is moved to extra file list kde4_list.txt; KDE3 and KDE4
          should be packaged separately because of dependencies


ooo320-m14 support:
-------------------

	+ upstream has started to create new milestones in Mercurial instead
          if svn since ooo320-m13; we need to update our framework to import
          them into git; this is why only ooo320-m12 is supported; we are
          working on it


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

	+ known bugs can be found in the Novell bugzilla, see
          http://alturl.com/qaq5


Upcoming deadlines:
-------------------

Thu, Apr 08     3.2.1-beta3 release (most likely the branch point)
Thu, Apr 22     3.2.1-rc1 release (only critical and save bugfixes allowed
                                   after this point)

Note that the plan might change. We need to synchronize it with the 
upstream, see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease321


Status of branches and plans:
-----------------------------

	+ master (3.2.1 development):
		+ currently support ooo320-m12 (see above why m14 is not supported)
		+ only bug fixes are allowed in the common sections
		+ discuss late features with Kendy or me
		+ do 3.3 development in experimental sections
		+ beta3 release is planed on April 08
		+ branching from master is planed on April 09 (based on the beta3 release
                  tag)

	+ ooo-build-3-2 (3.2 maintenance mode):
		+ only save and well tested fixes are allowed in the common sections
		+ final release at
                  http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.5.tar.gz
