[ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.6 RC1 available

Dear Community,

The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first release candidate 
of LibreOffice 3.5.6. The upcoming 3.5.6 will be the sixth in a series 
of frequent bugfix releases for our 3.5 code line. Please be aware that 
LibreOffice 3.5.6 RC1 is not yet ready for production use, you should 
continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.5 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/

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:
