Hi,

I am happy to announce 3.2.1-rc1 release of ooo-build master branch. You 
might find it at

	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.1.1.tar.gz
	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.1.1.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".

We are sorry that it took two more days to produce the RC than expected. There 
were some unexpected problems. Also some people wanted to commit last minute 
fixes...


Branching:
----------

I have just created the ooo-build-3-2-1 branch. See the separate mail for more 
details.


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

	+ upstream renamed one extension once again:
		+ oracle-report-builder.oxt -> report-builder.oxt
	+ Andras updated two extensions, see the NEWs file for more details
	+ Kohei has started to maintain the Multi-Dimensional Data Structure code
          in extra project => it becomes a 3rd party stuff => you need the
          extra tarball mdds_0.3.0.tar.bz2 (might get it by the
          ooo-build/donwlaod script)


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

	+ no blocker known right now
	+ known bugs can be found in the Novell bugzilla, see
          http://alturl.com/qaq5


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

If no blocker is found, upstream is going to release on Thursday, May 20, 
2010, see 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ReleaseStatus_Minutes#2010-05-10

I will release more ooo-build RCs if some blockers are found and fixed within 
the following week. I will inform you in advance by the usual reminder mail.


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

	+ master (3.3 development):
		+ currently supports ooo320-m17; we are going to update it for the 
                  last DEV300 milestone (m77); it might take some time, so
                  please by patient and help where possible
		+ any development is allowed
		+ alpha0 planed within next few weeks (after 3.2.1 is final and DEV300
                  support is in a good enough state)

	+ ooo-build-3-2-1 (3.2 rc phase):
		+ only save and well tested fixes are allowed in the common sections
		+ will do more RCs on demand; watch the reminders

	+ 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
		+ (less tested) bugfix release at
                  http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.10.tar.gz 
		+ might do more releases for a maintenance update in the future; it will
                  be obsoleted by ooo-build-3-2-1 soon
