Hi, there were again some problems with localizations[*] in beta4, so we decided to release beta5 instead of rc1 this week. The commit deadline is today. Commit rules for libreoffice-3-4 branch after May 9, 2011: + all commits need one review, ask on irc or libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list + do not modify strings or UI + commit only safe bug fixes For more deadlines see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#3.4.0_release [*] Please, be patient. There were big changes in the build framework between LO-3.3 and 3.4. We stopped using obsolete helper scripts from the build repo. Started building many modules using GNU make instead of dmake. Started building from PO files instead of the generated SDF files. Installed some new build hosts. It brought some unexpected problems but we all improving it. Also there was a problem with communication when developers were not aware of the problems on Linux. We are all hardly working on it and learning from mistakes. Every beta is more and more usable. Note that we really want to use the time based schedule.
