Dear Community, The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first beta release of LibreOffice 3.6.0. The upcoming 3.6.0 will be our fourth major release in two years, and comes with a nice set of new features. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.6.0 Beta1 is not ready for production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.4 for that. The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA builds download page at http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ A note for Windows users: this beta release installs in parallel to your current stable build, and thus can be easily tested alongside. The (still growing) list of features for the upcoming 3.6.0 is on our wiki - please help filling gaps there, e.g. by providing more screenshots: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.6 Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org A good way to assess the beta quality is to run some specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test (and the announcement mail: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/022464.html) For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can e.g. contribute code: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/ translate LibreOffice to your language: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Translation_for_3.5 or help with funding our operations: http://challenge.documentfoundation.org/ A list of known issues and fixed bugs with 3.6.0 Beta1 is available from our wiki: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.6.0/Beta1 Please find the list of changes against LibreOffice 3.5.4 here: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-6-release-3.5.99.1.log Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have been possible without your help. Yours, The Document Foundation Board of Directors
