Hi,

It was a big fight but we made it in the end ;-)

I am happy to announce 3.2.1-beta3 release of ooo-build master branch. You 
might find it at

	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.99.3.tar.gz
	http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.0.99.3.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".


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

There are still many changes going for 3.2.1, so we decided to wait with the 
branch until 3.2.1-rc1. The current estimation is that it would happen two 
weeks from now.


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

	+ upstream renamed two extensions:
		+ sun-report-builder.oxt -> oracle-report-builder.oxt
		+ sun-presentation-minimizer.oxt -> presentation-minimizer.oxt
	+ upstream started to use PNG instead of BMP for the intro and about picture
		+ BMP still works as the fallback
		+ we need intro.bmp for the oosplash.bin anyway
	+ they also changed the size of the intro picture and the position of the
          status bar; I reverted it for our SLED10 build, see
          patches/dev300/sled10-splash.diff for inspiration
	+ creating of the Microsoft installer patch (.msp) between 3.2 and 3.2.1 is
          broken because of the above changes (renamed files)
	+ you might want to use the "new" mysql connector extension, see
          --enable-mysql-connector
	+ I am sure that I missed something ;-)


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

	+ about dialog does not mention the ooo-build version
	+ known bugs can be found in the Novell bugzilla, see
          http://alturl.com/qaq5


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

Thu, May 6     3.2.1-rc1 release (only critical and save bugfixes allowed
                                  after this point; should be branch point)

Note that it might be delayed if the upstream rc1 is delayed. See also the 
upstream schedule at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease321


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

	+ master (3.2.1 development):
		+ currently support ooo320-m15
		+ only bug fixes are allowed in the common sections
		+ do 3.3 development in experimental sections
		+ rc1 release is planed on May 6
		+ branching from master is planed on May 6 (based on the rc1 release
                  tag)

	+ 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
