Hi,

I’m happy to announce that the build 3.0.0.3.5 passed testing and
OpenOffice.org 3.0 final packages are available in the Build Service
OpenOffice:org:STABLE project.

Note that OOo is very complex application. We are sure that some annoying bugs
will be found within the following weeks. Please report bugs into bugzilla.
See also known bugs below. I would like to update the package once again
within next two weeks with some important fixes that will be available in the
meantime.

Note that openSUSE-11.1-betaX and FACTORY include totally reworked packages
where the build is split into many source packages. It is a bit broken right
now. We would like to put it into the Build Service as soon as possible but
it will take some time to fix the build on older distributions again. Please
be patient.


Where to get it:
----------------
The list of installation repositories can be found at
http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#OpenOffice.org_STABLE


Installation problems:
----------------------
There are some problems with the version update on older distributions. You
might need to select the right version by hand, see
http://en.opensuse.org/OpenOffice#Dependencies_During_Update

IMPORTANT

The packages with localizations are renamed from OpenOffice_org-<lang> to
OpenOffice_org-l10n-<lang>. Also the localized help content is split into the
optional OpenOffice_org-help-<lang> packages. Finally, the American
localization is split into extra packages OpenOffice_org-l10n-en-US and
OpenOffice_org-help-en-US.

We are sorry, the 64-bit packages are not available for SLED10 and
openSUSE-10.2. You could install the 32-bit (i586) packages there.


Bug reports:
------------
Please report the bugs into https://bugzilla.novell.com/ for the
product "OpenOffice_org 2.0". Do not forget to mention enough information
about the problem, see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:OOo.


Known bugs:

* TOC with hyperlinks is corrupted when exporting to MS Word file format
(bnc#438525)

Changes in this version:
------------------------

http://svn.gnome.org/svn/ooo-build/tags/OOO_BUILD_3_0_0_3_5/NEWS
