Hi, we have prepared a new developer snapshot on the way to our first release.
We would very much appreciate some early feedback if possible. The AOO3.4 release will be an important milestone for the project and I think also for Apache to show that project is up and running. And that Apache is able to host and drive the project forward.
Kind regards Juergen On 3/8/12 10:50 AM, Jürgen Schmidt wrote:
Hi, the Apache OpenOffice podling project is moving forward to a first release that is long expected by the OpenOffice.org community and users. You know that Apache OpenOffice is the continuation of OpenOffice.org and that the project is very huge, has a very long history and a very huge user base all over the world. IP clearance work to conform to Apache standards" or "to conform to the Apache Way and we would like to get some early feedback if we are in shape with the Apache guidelines for a potential release. We have prepared developer snapshots over the past several weeks for our project members to test and review. This developer snapshots can be found under Source package http://people.apache.org/~jsc/developer-snapshots/src_releases/srcrelease.html Binary package https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Unofficial+Developer+Snapshots The mac version is also signed and the check files can be found in the download directory directly http://people.apache.org/~jsc/developer-snapshots/macos/r1296433/ NOTE: Be careful with the binary packages and save your office user profiles before testing. Existing OOo 3.x installations will be overwritten. We provide full install sets to test system integration and upgrades. Currently we are not able to migrate installed extensions. And there won't be bundled dictionaries but you can download a dictionary from the migrated extensions repository (http://aoo-extensions.sourceforge.net/). But of course we are working on this. Please rename your user profile before testing our snapshot build, and re-rename your user profile after reinstalling a stable OOo version. Right now we are focusing on show stopper issues but nevertheless we would like to invite you to review the source packages and also the binary packages if they fulfill the Apache requirements (e.g license, NOTICE, ...) We know that we have no release candidate (RC) right now and that it would require some work by you. But because of the complexity of the project we would very much appreciate any kind of early feedback at this time. And the main goal is to fix potential issues early and to save time later on when we have a first RC in place. On behalf of the Apache OpenOffice PPMC Juergen
