ANNOUNCE: ooo-build-3.1.0.5 released (3.1-rc6)

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

I am happy to announce the 3.1-rc6 release of ooo-build-3-1 branch. You
might find it at

        http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.5.tar.gz
        http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.5.tar.gz.md5

Please try it, provide builds for your beta testers and report bugs into
bugzilla.novell.com for the product "OpenOffice.org".

We are almost finished with the rc4 full test and no blocker has been found
yet. The last fixes were safe, so we will only double check them in the clean
rc6 build. The full test is not needed. I hope that this is the last release
candidate. We should know the decision within two days.


Known blocker bugs:

        + none

Status of branches and plans:

        + master:
                + currently intended for the up-comming 3.1.1 release
                + support ooo310-m11 (3.1-final)
                + opened for any development (be aware of 3.1.1 release in August)
                + 3.1.1-alpha1 release within next few weeks (after final 3.1-rc)
                + will do the ooo-build-3-1-1 branch within next few weeks;
                  we would like to do more changes for OOo-3.1 and do not want
                  to maintain it too long; feel free to complain

        + ooo-build-3-1 (rc phase):
                + intended for the up-comming 3.1 release
                + support ooo310-m11 (3.1-final)
                + only save critical fixes are allowed in the common part
                + rc7 release within one week if needed
                + will announce when it is final after it passes our QA

        + ooo-build-3-0-1 (maintenance mode):
                + should stay stable, please commit only critical and well tested fixes
                  for potential maintenance update
                + currently supports ooo300-m15 (the upstream 3.0.1-final sources)
                + the last release is at
                  http://download.go-oo.org/OOO300/ooo-build-3.0.1.3.tar.gz
                + I would do more releases on request if a critical bug is fixed later
