Dear All,

trunk has seen quite a lot of work recently, and because it's trunk,
it is proceeding in a somewhat hidden way.

Due to the fact that the last post on our blog is already 3 months
old, I suggest we make a new post to just tell what it is going on
behind the scenes.

The most relevant things that we I could list are the following:

 - OpenSSL upgrade (this is related to security, encryption
   and digital signatures);

 - implementation of OOXML encryption (this helps compatibility with
   other office suites);

 - fix of compilation errors under the latest Ubuntu (this helps
   contributors build and test AOO on their systems)

 - allow pasting of vector graphics (this helps making prettier documents)

 - various fixes in documentation, help files and interface (this
   makes the overall user experience smoother)

 - various spelling fixes in the source code and documentation (this
   helps developers)

 - various code fixes and cleanups (this helps developers focus on
   interesting things)

Some other commits look ``important'' but I cannot explain them and
need some help:

 * 00ab6c3f8bc46b7dee5058d1206cc64de18809de
   Removing all High Contrast icons from 'Classic' icon set.

I prepared a draft on our wiki at [1], so anyone can contribute to the
text.  I am no native English speaker, nor marketing expert... feel
free to correct it!

Can we sort out something in this weekend? It would be great to
publish, say, on April 2nd!

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Best regards.
